@joannaccherry
Let’s listen to former prison governor
@HotchkissRhona
speaking about life for vulnerable women accommodated with transgender prisoners in Scotland. This is lived experience not transphobia or any other phobia for that matter

The former governor of a prison in England explains something about a prison in Scotland?

And openly anti trans!!!! 🙄

If they carry out their duties the way that they're trained to do so, then what's the concern? What do you think happens when a man gets arrested and there's only a female officer/officers at the scene? They still have to carry out all of the necessary searches just as a male officer would. Simply being female isn't some get out clause, they have to follow the necessary protocol, that's their job.

So just to be clear, a guy gets a power or sexual thrill from demanding that only women search him, and they just have to accept it because 'that's their job'. Even though they work on a women's prison?

I know you couldn't resist the English comment, but she was the former governor of Cornton Vale.

I don't think anyone could listen to Amanda Benson's account of what it is like for a female prisoner on what is know as a female estate which was meant to house 40 women prisoners but in reality had 38 women prisoners and 2 biological male prisoners, one of whom was there for murder, and the other who she describes as a very scary hulk of a man who was about 6'3 and in there for domestic violence and come to any other conclusion than this is completely wrong.

Ok then. What if the man demands a male officer searches him, only for him to get a sexual thrill from it because he's gay?

My solution is quite simple, if your born male you go to a male prison, if your born female you go to a female prison.

Transwomen need to be housed in male prison's because they were born male.

However Transwomen have to be treated like a vulnerable group of men on a male prison, with there own wing, and segregated from the wider prison population.

Have you seen how many men she assaulted and injured, including police officers? I don't think she would be that scared considering her record. Not to mention she had the option of a fine instead of time!!

How does your solution work for those who have fully transitioned?

And trans men?

My solution is still the same even for people who have fully transitioned. They still go to a male prison if they were born male or a female prison if they were born female, this is because biological sex is immutable a baby even before it is born has chromosomes that are either male or female and no amount of surgery changes this.

Again though I do believe that trans prisoners need to have their rights protected in prison and be housed in wings that are separate from the general prison population. I hate to be the barer of bad news but in reality no-one has ever been born in the wrong body and that is a fact.

They used to say the same thing about homosexuals. "They're not really homosexual, they're just choosing to be."

I hate to be the barer of bad news, but in reality, you're not in these people's bodies to know whether they're in the right or wrong body and that is a fact.

Do you think there might be any power dynamic at play here?

I think full transition does change the position and makes being in the female prison estate more tenable. But there does need to be access to the full range of services given the complex health issues at play. I'm less certain about trans men in the male prison estate, as I think they could be at considerable risk.

You've worded that wrong given the tone on this thread recently.

Something like "Where does Sunak stick transgender prisoners?" ..no?

Are Scotland making it women with male genitalia aren't going to be in female prisons too, big change.

I'd read only 2 % of trans women get rid of the male genitalia. That surprised me I thought it would be much higher, as most people would say that's the thing that most identifies a male.

Looked like your common gardener 'journo asks FM to appologise for something she doesn't need to appologise for' type interview to me.

The common gardener seemed to have her stuttering quite a bit, she didn't have a clue what to say.

Nicola Sturgeon asked about Katie Dolatowski who sexualy assaulted a girl in toilets, yet is in a female prison

It seems its down to how much public pressure there is if someone gets moved
