Both Brewer and @rights_info appear to be on a planet where they just can't imagine that men pose a threat to women (or even acknowledge that we have separate SEX prisons in the first place).pic.twitter.com/vrguVZJyKM

Its a planet where Karen White doesn't exist. Nor does Tiffany Scott. Nor does Kayleigh Woods.

Maya Forstater Retweeted Equality Act 2010

The article suggests there is such a thing as "opposite gender prisons". (Rights info have a problem with saying sex.... )https://twitter.com/2010Equality/status/1098254604582699008 …

Maya Forstater added,

Equality Act 2010 @2010Equality

Does @rights_info have some kind of editorial policy to find-&-replace "sex" with "gender"? Why not just say what the Human Rights Act says instead of pretending it says something else? https://rightsinfo.org/caster-semenya-athletes-discrimination-case-could-have-a-huge-impact-on-women-in-sport/ … pic.twitter.com/mrvB2nKS5s

Brewer says “we are talking about a policy that is published by the government that states that the ‘strength and function’ of a prisoners genitals can be looked at as a threat to other prisoners".

“How do you assess the strength and function of some one’s genitalia? Where is the legality in that?” she asks..... it does sound a bit odd

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.
