@GBNEWS @AskNic "nobody is arguing that transgender prisoners shouldn't be in women's prisons because they are transgender, its because they are male. There are reasons we keep other males out of female prisons and all those same reasons apply to males who identify as women" /2

@GBNEWS @AskNic "The judge has decided...that we do need to consider the rights of transgender women - even if they are sex offenders - to live alongside women. Although its lawful I think we need to ask ourselves as a society is it right" /3

@GBNEWS @AskNic "if there is ever a group of women we need to keep safe it has to be women in prison, and I think its a travesty that the law is set up in such a way that the rights of male sex offenders can ever be put above the rights of vulnerable women in prison" /4

@GBNEWS @AskNic "Anybody should be free to identify as any gender they want but that's not the same as their sex. Feeling like a woman does not make you a woman. It doesn't make you female" /5

Here's our full response to the recent judicial review of transgender prison policy. /6
