Horrifying story but one that's becoming ever more common while the authorities continue to ignore the damage to women and children. In fact ,they continue to recite the mantra that trans people are the "most vulnerable and marginalized " group in the world. They seem to have not noticed that this group are being centred in every aspect of life and in fact are in charge of everything! The test of us no longer matter !!Thank you , Genevieve ,for the information .Well done👍👏💘

It was really a team effort with Anna Slatz. We worked together on it, but she worked hard and was able to get a friend to actually visit the prison in person and confirm his identity (thank you friend), as officials refused to release a mugshot or identifying description. I like to think the two of us make a good team! But I'm still learning from her all the time. Anyway, it goes to show how any involvement with this can serve as a cover for some very dark motives.

Thank you Genevieve and Anna Slatz. I couldn't believe you managed to get someone in - what dedication and what a scoop.

I’ve been thinking about the prevalence of sexual deviance ( as in, deception, assault, rape, exhibitionism, fetishism, paedophilia) amongst MTF transsexuals. I have discarded the idea that many -though by no means all- are merely assuming the trans robe as a cloak for their real desires. But at the very least we shouldn’t find it surprising that men who are ‘confused’ in one such aspect, may be attracted to other forms of deviance as well. I suppose the medical term would be co-morbidity.

It also demonstrates that when the chips are down, this is really about sex, not gender.

This was known. This was commented on by the originators of gender identity ideology. Those at the top, involved in sexology, all are aware. It's why sadomasochism is being normalized and paraphilias are slowly being declassified as dangerous to society. Gert Hekma, the pro-paedophilia academic I've mentioned before, notes in a book on the history of sexology how historically the T umbrella was more of a paraphilia umbrella.

A paraphilia umbrella. That makes sense.

Yup and the misuse of words from something you don't like (say eating vegetables), oh that's odd, weird, that's perverted, to calling anyone who doesn't like vegetables a pervert to anyone who does genuinely foul and criminal things also being perverted. Perverted doesn't just mean 'an alternative lifestyle choice' and that's what boundary smashing, selfish, abusive behaviours are being dressed up as. Their rights to do what they like are more important than all of our boundaries. I demand therefore I am. I want to be in children's spaces. I want to be in women's spaces. I want what THEY have, no I AM THEM. I can do being them and having their life experiences better than them.

Oh great, so I can just 'choose' to make different decisions in my life, have 'my' world as I want it, and that's my right. Stuff everyone else and the vulnerable I am affecting and abusing. I want it, so it's my human right.

The way some trans couples, 'units' and activists are aping the same old patriarchal and unhealthy structures, societal expectations and subjugation of women, that should be enough of a clue. That they have taken over poorly funded community, crisis and women's healthcare to demand they get priority as 'inclusion' - this couldn't be clearer. I want their rights so I will get them. And those powerful women are nasty colonial oppressors for withholding.

I wonder about the waves of 'progress' and social change. Men got a bit angry at #metoo and have decided to nip this uppity women having rights thing in the bud which happened about the time this transeverything burst forth again and flourished anew recently. Again.

This never happens seems to be happening daily at the moment.

No child grooming there at all, nope, none, nowhere whatsoever. I suppose that child did not deserve dignity.

And there he is holding up his "trans" coloured "Love is Love" sign. This is one of my pet peeves ( I have many). Deviant-lust-driven-appetite presented as "love". Pedophiles use it. We just want to "love" who we want to "love" without pesky ethics getting in the way.

This person is obviously horrible and should be punished, but the implication - especially from the comments - is that all trans people are predators, abusers, groomers etc. They're not!

Expand full comment

indeed, and most people here are aware that the problem is that predators, groomers and abusers are identifying *into* the category.

Sexual predators are overwhelmingly men, at rates that far and away exceed women's rates. And among men, those who claim a transgender identity are more likely to be predators than men of the general population, according to some limited prison data.

Of the various paraphilias, transvestic fetishism is the most common among convicted sexual abusers. This was common knowledge among sexologists / criminologists during the 80s and possibly still is, though it's become taboo to say so. Interestingly, former WPATH president Eli Coleman admitted as much in his work a couple of decades ago, before he merged his sex offender treatment work with his transgender advocacy.

And sorry but I refuse to engage with the tired-out "not all men" trope.

Thanks Genevieve, for all your work. And not engaging with the not all men trope. I'm sick to death of it too. Not all men are sexual predators, but sexual predators are overwhelmingly men. Time for men to acknowledge this and start figuring out what to do about it, not just leave the hard, thankless, stomach-turning work to women.

Thank you, Genevieve Gluck. I don't think that the perverts are simply identifying into the category; I think the overwhelming majority of TIMs are perverts.

What you're saying here is so important and obviously taboo.

How can you say what a trans person is? It means everything and nothing now and that, as Graham says, is a problem. It's become almost meaningless. The recent strands and activisms have shut us all down. It's all a move to self-IDing what you want and choose and dream. This inability and refusal to talk, or ask questions gets anyone not cheering, celebrating and flag-waving accused of denying souls, oppression and bigoted actual violence. Which it is not. It is caution, it is safeguarding.

The co-opting of genuinely vulnerable by a bunch of self-aggrandising 'rights activists' is the issue. That he spoke on marginalised communities, migrants, those with disabilities and mental health issues is horrific, like his abuse. They are not all the same. And that idiots in government and civil society sought him out to 'learn from'. That sets us all back and ensures fewer know what actual 'equality' looks and lives like.

This makes me feel ill. It's so shocking. Absolutely sick of everyone falling over themselves to appear liberal and inclusive with these men and their fetishes. I have started to think that every trans identifying man needs to have their hard drive checked.

I see where you're coming from but it's a fact that, when I was growing up in the 60s, people overwhelmingly said - without restraint - that all gays (and they used much uglier terms than that!) were perverts, child abusers etc. We seem to have just transferred all that to trans people. I know it was fictional, but would we really have wanted the Corrie writers to have the landlord/lady get the bouncer to throw kind, gentle trans Hayley out for using the women's toilet in the Rover's?
