But accurate

You can't say something isn't true, then when faced with the stats. just come up with 'there are always 2 sides to an argument'. Something is true or it isn't.

I didn’t say stats were not true. I was saying that dangerous convicted rapists are not going to be housed in women’s prisons where they can harass women. Please be accurate with your criticisms.

Right now those with a grc are automatically housed in women's prisons. Those without are assessed on a case by case basis. Women (and indeed the British Association of Gender Identity Specialists and British Psychological) have expressed that a self id model will be abused.

*British Psychological Society Yet women are being told that their concerns are unfounded.

The burden of proof changes. Currently those without a grc would have to convince the moj that they have a genuine need to be housed in the female estate.
-
A (self id) grc, would automatically grant the right to access to access the female estate and it would be up to the moj to prove that it is unsuitable. These would be exceptional cases.
-
The moj may change their current guidelines of course (might be a good idea to let women's groups know!) But as they stand now, they are open to abuse.
