Once again clutching at straws. The reframing she was talking about was changing a rape victims opinion on wanting female only rape care, not dealing with their trauma. Vile and pretty repugnant that you are defending it.Quote:

Sexual predators are devious and cunning, from my experience they can be organised and patient. There are many refuges that are female only with lots of vulnerable women. What a great opportunity to gain access.Quote:

All that matters now is if Alistair Jack has put forward a legal case that holds. Has he?

Which is ironic, because it very much falls into the category of negative assumptions that people make about transgender people.
This doesn't make any sense. It's not as if Scotland is a place where we have security guards standing outside women's toilets and changing rooms to assess who can enter and who can't. There's literally nothing to stop a man from walking directly into such a place and committing a sexual assault. This was the case before the GRA and will still be the case after it. Male sexual predators don't gain some additional advantage by waiting 3 months to have a gender recognition change. It doesn't allow them to do anything that they can't do already.Quote:

She didn't say that vulnerable women who wish to have a biological female support worker were bigots. Nowhere in her comments was such a connection made.Quote:

They wait for the right moment to strike.Quote:

All the more reason it shouldn't be made easier for them to enter women only spaces looking for opportunities and when there isn't one just moving onto to the next place.Quote:

I would say not very likely at all. It's not exactly a place where they'd be less likely to be caught, considering these are vulnerable women who have a close watch over them at all times to ensure their own safety.Quote:

However most predators gain their victims trust, groom them. My objection to this legislation was there was no checks or balances or someone obtaining this certificate and abusing it. The saddest part is those who wish to transition genuinely are the ones who will likely the one who come under the most scrutinyQuote:

You didn't give reasons. You said something about a predator going away then returning the next day in the hope of there being only a single women present because they wouldn't do something illegal if there were several women around.Quote:

And you didn't give a 100% guarantee it wouldn't make it any easier for them to commit an offence. You're happy to suggest it wouldn't but cannot 100% guarantee it.Quote:
