Perverted man claims to be a woman - may be housed in a women's prison

Mollygo you have quite frequently confused female (which is sex) with woman (which is gender). I'm not going to scroll through all your posts.
Transwomen do not have to have surgery. A transwoman may have a penis, just as a transman may have a vagina.
I've realise why those who are criticising trans supporters have problems it is because this is a complex issue with many variations and it needs serious thinking about.
So it is much easier to say men are this and women are that. Or transwomen aren't real women.
No one has yet explained to me what this means for transmen. Are they forced to remain women? Isn't that contrary to the very essence of feminism that it supports women to make their choices?
Do they then become part of some trans subset?.
I have consistently through all these ridiculous threads maintained my stance that no one should damage. hurt, abuse or inflict pain on another human being regardless of sex or gender.
I have never said transwomen should be housed in women's prisons. I think I was the first person to post about the transgender prison wings. I have said that prisons need reform and the present system is failing.

I have never said sex segregation had no place I have often posted the law on that. I agree with that law.
If sex was to determine other spaces there would be problems
I don't want to see any system introduced for testing anyone's sex and I don't think anyone could distinguish between trans people and others without testing.

Some transwomen have penises some don’t. Those who have had surgery are the only TW who don’t.
Agreed.
I do know the difference between sex and gender, so I’m not sure why you are accusing me of not doing so. Should I report you for that accusation?
Those transwomen who retain their genitalia but have no intention of causing harm, or distress to females, either physically or mentally are not the issue for either of us.
Those TW with or without male genitalia who cause harm and distress to females either physically or mentally-that includes cheating by competing, taking jobs, and demanding access to women’s safe spaces are the issue for me.
I have said that from the start, not suddenly changed my mind because of something a man claiming to be a woman is offensive so he can’t be a ‘real’ transwoman.
I’d still like to know if you support a TW (man claiming to be a woman) who rapes women being placed in a female prison, (TW prison not being available) whereas a TW (man claiming to be a woman) who rapes a dog is so disgusting he should be put in a male prison
I haven’t time tonight to go back through your posts (that I copied through this thread) to find all your particular claims about who are women and who aren’t. I recommend that you read Doodledog’s posts instead.

I said. this man had used his penis to rape a dog and therefore had not acted like a woman

The thing is, though, if someone has a penis, then whatever he does with it won't be like a woman, will it?

You really can't have it all ways.

This is an extreme case, and of course this man is not remotely typical of transpeople. The case does, however, put the concerns of a lot of women into sharp relief. Not because such extreme cases are likely to happen often, but because when something like this does happen it shows just how vulnerable female prisoners can be, and reminds us that this applies in other contexts too.

Why can't you see that, and just accept that sex based segregation has its place, instead of simply digging your heels in and making what are often quite comical leaps in an attempt to outsmart people and find tiny but irrelevant holes in their posts?

Agreeing that whereas transpeople who just want to 'pass' and be unobtrusive have every right to do so, but that women need protection from those who want to exploit their greater strength and size wouldn't weaken your argument. Nonsensical mental gymnastics, however, definitely do.

When it comes down to it, the difference between your POV and mine, as far as I can tell, is that I do not believe that TWAW and you do. For the rest, we agree (oh, except about feminism not being about women, but that was a diversion anyway).

I think that people should live their best lives, however they feel most comfortable. If men want to live as women, good luck to them, but they are living as women, and as such should recognise that they can't in fairness compete with women in strength-based sport, that there are (limited but important) times when it is not appropriate for them to be around women, and that this is not a refusal to accept or validate them.

If your feminism doesn't tell you that, surely your sense of fairness must?

Today is the day that trisher said that someone who looks like a woman, says he is a woman and acts like a woman isn’t a woman because he has a penis.
I’m fine with that. Whatever else you want to drag in.

Perhaps you would for once like to actually quote what I said and stop filtering it through your prejudice Mollygo I said. this man had used his penis to rape a dog and therefore had not acted like a woman

You have so far confused sex with gender, misunderstood what a woman is and what is female and now you apparently don't understand the difference between having a penis and using it to rape.

There are of course transwomen with penises who cause no harm to anyone and live quietly and peacefully amongst us. Trying to link these individuals with a pervert is not only transphobic it's abusive.
If you continue to misquote me Mollygo I will have to report your posts.

Whatever else you want to drag in.

The facilities are there Mollygo First transgender prison opened 2019 I realise that you just want to moan and don't actually want any solution to the problem but it is happening.

I refuse to enter a debate about theoretical transwomen committing theoretical crimes. I've commented on this case so please don't generalise.

However you like to put it trisher.
I read your definition of a woman. This person matched your definition. If you suddenly decide that TW who do things that are unacceptable to you are not women after all that’s like GJ saying that TW (men who say they are women) who commit sexual crimes using male genitalia are only pretend trans or not real TW, much the same has been said many times on here, but until now you’ve denied it.
The sickest thing is that you seem to regard harming animals as worse than causing harm and distress to females.
Harming animals means someone who claims to be a woman/TW should not be in a woman’s prison.
Causing distress to or harming females whilst claiming to be a woman means that he should be allowed in a female prison.
Don’t drag in the much needed prison reforms or it might seem as if you’re saying females should just put up with it until those facilities are built.

Thanks Doodledog for your post at 19:18

1.1.22 The day that trisher, using her own words agreed that men who look like women, act like she has said some women do and say they are women cannot be women because they have a penis.

Could you try to stop attributing to me things I have not said Mollygo you did it before with female and women. You are now doing it again.
I never said someone cannot be a woman because they have a penis. I said this man had used his penis to rape a dog and therefore had not acted like a woman.
Some transwomen have penises some don't. As I don't see them I don't know. And actually neither do you. Which means in normal life it really doesn't matter.

Thanks again doodle and mollygo - I’ve nothing to add but admiration for your dedication to establishing reality

Strangely enough I don't make rules and apply them indiscriminately.

We cross-posted, but I had to read this 27 times to believe I was seeing it

No, attacking other posters, on very spurious grounds.

I don't see anyone complaining because you have agreed that people with penises are men. That's a given, really.

It's your ludicrous logic that people are commenting on. One minute you are saying that you don't have to be female to be a woman. A woman is anyone who says they are a woman and who presents like one. Pervert presented as a woman, with his blond(e) bobbed wig and eye shadow. He said he was a woman in court. By your own definition, therefore he is a woman.

The next minute you are saying that because his actions are 'not those of a woman' he can't be a transwoman. That's a huge stretch already; but given the number of times you have pointed out that women's jails are already dangerous because of the awful things that women are capable of doing, is it surprising that people are a bit perplexed at this? Is female violence only relevant for a bit of whataboutery when it comes to housing men in women's jails, but otherwise an impossibility, as anyone behaving in an aberrant manner can't be a woman?

You then go on the attack, saying that we are attacking you (DARVO-extraordiaire) and throw in a snide dig to suggest that anyone who is struggling with your 'logic' can't be a feminist. And then GagaJo pops along to back you up?.

You're right, Chewbacca. It does feel like an hallucination.

Mollygo

No so why do you keep doing it?
I don’t recollect mentioning his penis and even GagaJo only mentioned male genitalia . . .
Oh sorry I’d forgotten your predilection for mentioning penises.
I’m glad you’re agreeing with me that males who say they are women aren’t female. It’s taken you a long time to admit it.
Ladies you heard it here. Trisher believes that people with penises aren’t women!

Let's get this straight I think this man isn't a transperson and he has a penis which he used to have sexual relations with a dog.
Other people may or may not have penises and may be Transwomen. Strangely enough I don't make rules and apply them indiscriminately. For one thing some people don't openly display or use their genitals so I wouldn't know what they had would I?

Chewbacca

^Is doing such things really feminist^

No. So why do you keep doing it?

Sorry, doing what Chewbacca ? Agreeing with people?

No so why do you keep doing it?

Exactly trisher. I wonder why (genuinely). Arguing about the same thing, same minutiae again and again.

Is doing such things really feminist

No. So why do you keep doing it?

Mollygo

Hmmm
But he had made an effort to ‘look like a woman’. That was the whole point of this thread. Should he have been allowed to claim the right to be placed in a women’s prison because he said he was a woman.
I’m sure, if I CBA to look back you have pointed out that women commit horrific crimes, ergo he could be said to be acting like a woman according to your previous posts. So
He said he was a woman
He acted like you have claimed some women do.
He looked like a woman- debatable I know.
How have you decided that in this instance, you will not accept him as a transwoman?

But you have all kept telling me he has a penis and therefore he is a man. Are you now complaining because I have agreed with you? Makes you realise that this is nothing to do with the subject but simply a way of attacking other posters.
Is doing such things really feminist?

It's like a literary hallucinogenic trip Doodle! Just when you think you've caught on to a sequence and focused on it, it changes and morphs into a totally different trip altogether! I'm sitting tight: the "you're all transphobic" trip will swing by again shortly.

We are getting further and further into doublespeak.

You know, I have no problem with people holding different views, and no problem with their expressing these views strongly; but the moving of goalposts, the contradictions, the odious comparisons, the diversions into irrelevant areas, and the latest volte face makes me wonder if we are all being taken for an elaborate ride.

What on earth does act like a woman mean? Do all women act in the same way? Are all women just acting?

What about Rose West, who I think has been mentioned earlier in the thread. Did she act like a woman? Or if her crimes were not the acts of a woman, is she therefore not a woman?

In fact the whole subject of this thread to link a pervert with transpeple (sic) is an example of how desperate some people are.
Gordon Bennett! HE linked himself to transpeple! Had he not done so, he would just have been referred to as any other dog raping, drug addicted paedophile. As it is, HE said that he's a woman and, going on your argument that anyone is what they say they are: HE IS A TRANSWOMAN. This has been your dogma since the beginning; why are you now saying that it's a sign of our desperation that we refer to him by the pronoun he's requested? Sheesh! You can't win with some people.

It reminds me of when people used to try and link gay men with paedophiles

Goodness me, that's an original statement. Not seen that used for.... oh.... 5 minutes?

We cross posted, Molly. Yes, *trisher is always accusing us go naivety, and pointing out that woman are capable of all sorts of atrocities. Until it suits her to change tack, that is.

trisher

If someone looks like a woman, acts like a woman or says she is a woman I will accept her as such.
I think we can all agree thatthe person who is the subject of this thread in no way acted like a woman hence he is not a transwoman or a woman. In fact the whole subject of this thread to link a pervert with transpeple is an example of how desperate some people are.
It reminds me of when people used to try and link gay men with paedophiles.

But you point out ad nauseam that women are capable of heinous crimes.

It seems to me that this wriggling is an example of how desperate 'some people' are to disassociate transpeople from any less than virtuous activity. There is no need. The only one linking perversion with trans status is you.

You've flogged the 'gay people and paedophiles' horse many times, and it has been pointed out many times that you have no basis for this - it does not follow from anything we say, and again, the only person linking the two is you.
