Except it doesn't say that.... READ THE POLICY. What it says is "consideration of physical strength and genitalia" . Which seem like perfectly reasonable things to consider if you are thinking about locking a male criminal up in a women's prisonpic.twitter.com/N3gL3YCEyQ
What prompted the review says Brewer was the government capitulating to "anti-trans campaigners" who put forward “the idea that trans women impose an inherent risk to non-trans women”
"It attaches that risk to their trans identity.” I can not get over the stupidity of this. Men pose an inherent risk to women, whether they have a trans identity or not. If you cannot understand this you have no place writing about any of this.
“We need to look at this from a human rights perspective" says Brewer. .....Except both she and every body at @rights_info appears to have forgotten that women in prison have human rights.
I am going to tag in @AdamWagner1 but I don't expect a response, apart from the usual 'put in a complaint', which will be fobbed off by the team. Adam your organisation has a problem on this issue. It is the board's responsibility.
Michelle Brewer is co-founder of @UKTELI and co convenor on prisons (along with, at one time Jess Bradley ). You'd think @rights_info would mention their expert is not just "a barrister" but co-founder of a lobbying organisationhttps://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1025286778025136128.html …
Male prisoners impose an inherant risk to female prisoners yes.
#NAMALT of course but this is not reason to create mixed sex prisons!
Can Brewer not conceive of pro-women & pro-safeguard campaigns?
