Last week I read a report that indicated a large number of Transwomen prisoners revert to being male upon being released from Women’s prisons.
This poses two questions to me. Firstly how many times can or should a Transperson be able to change their Gender? Or to put it bluntly, should flip-flopping be allowed?
This is an important question because if it is more than once then the disruption caused to several services would be quite significant not to mention the public in general.
Secondly, with regards to ex prisoners. Does reverting to ‘male’ suggest their motives were not entirely truthful in the first place?
I suppose this leads on to another question, should Transwomen even be in female prisons? If the answer is yes, then what happens if a woman is raped by a Transwoman? Please don’t say it never happens because this is a regular occurrence . Who is ultimately responsible for the safety of women in prisons, and are their rights protected by law or does nobody care?
This all may sound anti Trans but it isn’t. I don’t care what a person wants to be but I do care about the changes in Law that activists are trying to force through and their consequences to others.
These huge changes have consequences for everyone so it is important to get the Law right because bad Law comes with its consequences.
I have spoken about ‘Activists’ before, they generally have an agenda of their own and do not define Transpeople as a whole not to mention the destructive way they are trying to abolish the LGB movement.
If Scotland does not get this Law right and in line with the Equality Act then hundreds of battles will end up in court costing millions. Monies that should be spent combatting the cost of living crisis or going into the SNHS.
I would rather Holyrood would return to a consensus government again than have a party running it where it is being held hostage by another who is pushing their agenda through instead of the priority which is Independence.
