Okay I can’t stay quiet any longer.

I’m increasingly seeing a narrative about criminologists not speaking out about transgender people in prisons because of ‘how allegations of bigotry can be used to silence’ as if all criminologists agree with them. Well, those criminologists don’t speak for this criminologist

I’ve seen other ‘gender critical feminists’ present a similar narrative that all women agree with them but are afraid to speak out. I have yet to see evidence to substantiate this - the same goes for criminologists.
