Taln said "risk assessment exists so no a rapist who is a threat to the general population of a woman's prison is not going to get there". How dare you disregard the fact that women prisoners have and continue to be frightened traumatized and violated by such men? Don't talk about risk assessment it's bollocks. You can never guarantee a man placed in the female estate isn't going to molest or negatively impact on the mental health of women prisoners. You can never guarantee anybody safety in prisons. But you can certainly decrease the likelihood and extent of harm to women by not housing male criminals with them.

Taln said "trans women are at vastly increased risk in men's prison, 'transgender people in prison are exposed to horrific rates of abuse by both staff and their fellow inmates' (note by submitter: quoting https://transequality.org/issues/police-jails-prisons )" and I don't doubt that trans-identifying men are at risk in male prisons. They still do not belong in the female estate, because they are Men. Women are human and not mere shields to be used by some men against others. Is it really too difficult for you to come up with a solution, that keeps trans identifying men safe and which doesn't distress and endanger women and to campaign for that solution. Or is this, as I suspect, really about validation at all costs to real women

then he said "isn't it interesting that gender-critical feminists only care about rape in women's prison when they can use that to fear-monger about trans people" what on earth makes you say that? this is the same old victim playing "you don't care about women you just hate trans people". You really are a piece of work Taln.
