Women's prisons.

It's so depressing reading the threads about anything to do with trans issues, including this one. I'm keeping out of it, but I do admire those who keep on standing up to the few posters who seem to be saying that the rights of trans women should always be superior to those of natal women. I don't even like using the term 'natal women', but IMO it's preferable to 'cis women' or the awful 'cervix havers'.

You're right, Shinamae, when you get male-bodied rapists insisting (successfully) on their right to be in a women's prison because they claim to identify as women, the world has indeed gone totally mad.

Rapists in a women's prison?
Is it men do you think who have allowed this? I hope no woman would let this happen but who knows?

Very frightening for women who have the subject of male violence.

No doubt we will be told that trans women have a right to be there.

What a sad old world we are in. I despair ?

Just read that prisons in England and Wales are housing male rapists in womens prisons and some are actually providing condoms!
Rugby and Shoreham are mentioned and today is a day of protest.
Whatever next?
