[🧵] Absolutely shameful #misogyny on clear display from Dr James Barrett. This man is as elite and respected as it is possible to be within the UK "gender medicine" establishment. @TaviAndPort
👆In a 2009 report, Barrett denigrated women prisoners who may object to the presence in their estate of a man convicted of killing his partner. This prisoner(AB) hid the corpse for 3 weeks.

5 days after release AB committed a violent attempted rape of a woman, which /
/ only stopped because of erectile dysfunction.

The parole board had 2 years prior identified risk factors of:

"anger and frustration..., thinking patterns and attitudes relating to violence and weapons, sex offending... and the risk to life and limb.." Para. 6. paraphrased
/
/
At this point AB, who was serving time for attempted rape *STILL HAD HIS PENIS*. Indeed the central reason this case was brought, related directly to that 👇

The GIC treating this man *required* that he spend a period of time in the female estate, with his cock, /
/ as an absolutely bloody obvious risk, *before* they would consider him for surgery.

Why? Why impose that? In paragraph 4+5 we see that the judge and prison staff were perfectly happy that AB was living "as a woman" and was "treated as a female" within the male estate 👇
So why not stay there?

This requirement from the GIC seems totally arbitrary, but it was not questioned by the judge, and it contributed to the outcome, AB *WAS* transferred to women's prison. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Given all these circumstances it is *PLAINLY* beyond the pale to suggest, as Dr James Barrett did, that women prisoners objecting to the presence of AB would necessarily be doing so:

"... because they are the sort of women who enjoy conflict."

(Paging @TaviAndPort)
👆Translation: "If this [convicted killer/sex criminal] is able to *cope* with protracted close proximity to [women who say no to him] I would judge [him] able to *cope* with [other women saying no to him]"

WELL HAVE A F***KING COOKIE! GOLD STAR, PAT ON THE BACK! 🤬
Sources follow.

The Judicial Review case from which the above excerpts are drawn: bailii.org/cgi-bin/format…
2018 Daily Mail article reporting on AB's crimes, and his subsequent invitation to speak at the house of lords on the subject of conditions for "transgender" people in prison 🤢: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…
Once again, excellent longer format piece from @StillTish, lots more to get at in here: gendercriticalwoman.blog/2019/08/11/how…
Here's the relevant entry on TranscrimeUK:

Lastly: Women have the right to refuse access to men like this in their spaces.

This is true even if they:
-Claim to be women.
-Get a note from their Dr.
-Take cross sex hormones.
-Wear "lady clothes"
-Have a GRC
-Remove their genitals

Listen to what @FergusEwingSNP asks of @ShonaRobison here:

scottishparliament.tv/meeting/meetin…

Listen to her reply.

This is, to the *very best* of my knowledge, the BBC poll she is talking about 👇
Shona Robinson: "I could point to the BBC poll conducted earlier this year, that showed support for this bill - particularly among women, actually - and *SUPPORT FOR REDUCING THE AGE TO 16*..."

It was 53% vs 31% AGAINST lowering the age limit.

Liar.

#TransFacts
#NoToSelfID
Tonight during the #GRRBill debate, and prior to voting for the relevant amendments, @ShonaRobison told Holyrood that this BBC poll showed Scots *support* lowering the minimum age of applicants from 18 to 16 👇

Can you spot the problem? Image

Scottish parliament just voted 59 to 64 against an amendment that would have prevented registered sex offenders from being able to #SelfID under the proposed #GRRBill.

No democratic mandate whatsoever for any of this...

Shouts of *shame on all of you* from the gallery! 💪
"TherEs nO conNNecTioN beTweEn the TwaNs C0mUniTY aNd $eX oFfendErs!" we hear, over and over again, ignoring the anecdotes and evidence to the contrary, with varying degrees of credulity.

Why vote to make sure they can get a GRC then? WHY?

#NoToSelfID
#RepealTheGRA
This person has a GRC
This person is a sex offender
This person is not alone in that joint status.

Make it make sense!

[🧵] Since #TransWomenAreConMen is trending, here's a relevant anecdote that I found while researching for a video.

In this court case from 2018, an applicant for a gender recognition certificate appealed against the panel's multiple decisions to reject their application.👇
bailii.org/cgi-bin/format…

The whole thing makes *VERY* informative and enraging reading, but here are some highlights.... /
/ The applicant, Jay, was a trans identifying male prisoner, divorced from his third marriage, who had been convicted of "obtaining explosives with *intent to endanger life*" 😬😬😬

"Who's life?" seems like a pertinent question? Sadly I don't have that info.... / Image

Thanks for bringing this up! It's a nice excuse to vent a thought I was having earlier [THREAD].

Here's the enormous difference: "Water is wet" is a truth that is experiencing no meaningful pushback whatsoever. / Image
/
Nobody is being prevented from saying it.
No movement exists based around disbelieving it.
No university anywhere in the world has a "Water is dry" department.
Governments / policymakers etc don't appear to have taken any position on water's wetness or dryness.
/
/
Wish I could say the same about "trans".

You wanna see some consistency?
Get a "water is dry" law into the statue book.
Put it in schools curriculums.
Create a branch of academia founded around the precept "liquid is a social construct".

Wow. Serious questions for @MedicalBristol as to why one of your lecturers has given this presentation, riven with demonstrable falsehoods, vague notions asserted as fact and flat out activist propaganda. 🧵
Hartland went on to characterise the large number of as yet unseen questions that the presentation generated as transphobic and hateful, and posted an image of his own hand with visible nail indentations, claiming he´d had no choice but to do that to himself... to remain calm?
A clue as to why Hartland reacted this way to criticism lies in this 2020 paper about race within medical education and "white fragility" which was co-authored by Hartland and a 4th year student (Eva Larkai):
