It will never happen

Except, it has.

Just came on here to see if there was a thread.

Unfuckingbelievable!

Except it isn't.

Welcome to Scotland 1984 2026.

Um, there are actually already two threads...!

From the BBC report:

A transgender prisoner serving a sentence for murder has been charged with the sexual assault of a fellow inmate at a women's prison.

Alexandra Stewart, previously known as Alan Baker, allegedly attacked the woman at HMP Greenock.

Stewart - a biological male who identifies as a woman – was jailed for the murder of John Weir in 2013 and has been held in a women's unit in the prison since 2016.

Police Scotland said a report would be submitted to the procurator fiscal over the incident.

The Scottish Prison Service (SPS) said it would be inappropriate to comment on ongoing proceedings.

I saw the headline on RS and came on MN to see if there was a thread, this was the first one that popped up.

Apologies, I didn’t see the original thread either. I can ask for this one to be deleted

I'm not surprised, this is appalling. It's the worst of the reasons women here stand up for women's rights, and it shouldn't have been able to happen, it isn't as if there hasn't been repeated information, warnings, discussion, even law.

But politicians thought they knew best.

Still room on the other thread, but it's filling up

Thanks for the Nitter link.

I hope the victim takes JKR up on her offer, and sues the hell out of them all, prison service, politicians, the whole damn lot. 💪

He’s been in a women’s prison estate for 10 years? The Scottish govt really really hate women.

I'll wait for the post from an activist explaining that there were 3649 days in which (so far) there's no suggestion he hurt a woman, so the 1 bad day is nothing to worry about. Which is rather like claiming that if you go by the percentage of good minutes of safe travel, the voyage of the Titanic was an overwhelmingly successful and ordinary one.

Sickening. I despise the Scottish Government and anyone who votes SNP after this , if they know this . I hope the victim sues with JK's support. It is an absolutely disgusting state of affairs that she was subjected to this preventable ordeal in this way. How dare they treat women like this ? Deeply ashamed to be Scottish at the moment.
