If it’s true that TW revert to men when they are freed from female prisons www.thetimes.co.uk/article/trans-prisoners-switch-gender-again-once-freed-from-womens-units-qjjsd0nlx , will the statistics that have been skewed because their crimes were registered as committed by females, be corrected?

Now this makes sense.

Thanks for the link Doodledog. I don't disagree with anything she said, a very good article.

I don’t know if this link will work as the article is behind a firewall, but it’s worth a try. Unaccustomed as I am to agreeing with Tories, it pretty much sums up my views on the matter and is worth a read.

It’s by Jackie Doyle-Price in The Times

Thanks for that link doodledog. It's good to know some people will stand up for women's rights against the bullies.

Maybe the tide is turning. In the news;
Conservatives (regardless of your politics) considering women’s safety.
Scotland, considering changes to its decision on housing transwomen in female prisons.
2022 could be a good year for women (AHF) and even for the non-toxic transwomen, who, because of the activities of some campaigning groups, are perceived under the same umbrella as those TW who commit crimes like rape, abuse of females by males, cheating in order to succeed, and fraud, achieved by claiming to be women.

Hi just came across this today. I usually avoid threads like this, but there is so much sense talked on this one, without all the strange claims I’ve seen before. I do hope Scotland make the changes mentioned.

I agree that there are some strange claims on many 'trans threads', and that they can get heated, but yes, this one has stayed calm. I hope that Scotland makes the changes too, and that this marks a turning of the tide, as things have got way out of hand.

As some of us keep saying, we are not anti-transpeople, and want them to continue to be able to live as they choose. It is just when they impose the idea that Trans Women Are Women on others that we object.
