Not a tiny enough violin is right. These articles go out of their way not to mention when they’re sexual predators, which they frequently are. Disgusting.

These people are fucking mental. They're so convinced of the superiority of their own "tolerance and inclusivity" that they're able to prioritise a rapist's hurt feelings over his 14 year-old victim. And that's the nicest thing you can say about them because if they're not swivel-eyed, true-believer cult followers, then the alternative is that they really are - morally - able to relate to this creature.

It's a notable extension to the gender extremist fetishising trans women by believing they are incapable of wrong.

Why? Why? Why? Are so many people and publications falling over themselves to give support to this? It’s beyond comprehension

Soooooo the male inmates aren’t on him cause he’s “trans” but b/c he’s got a dirty sheet. And he wanted to hide out in the female prison to avoid a beat down. Maybe he plans on reoffending. Sounds about right. TIMs are not persecuted in male prisons. It’s a myth. They are considered women substitutes and are actually treated with some respect. Unless they are a nonce.

I think a term like “sexually assaulted” is too euphemistic in this case. It wasn’t some grope on the bus: he kidnapped, held hostage, and raped a 14-year-old girl.

I feel no sympathy for this guy, and shame on NPR for the propaganda they push. However, it’s about time that our prison system figures out how to keep people safe while they are housed in these institutions.

Putting sex offenders in the women’s facility is just crazy.

So NPR are either untrained and crap at their jobs (unlikely) or deliberately withholding the full story (which swings them from journalists to propagandists). Great. Bravo. Well fucking done.

Good to see that this was not received well on Twitter. So many celebrities have lost my respect. I’ll never forget!

" The new Sacred Class " is a very apt description of this movement ,which is apparently in charge of EVERYTHING and can get Laws changed in their favour by claiming to be the most vulnerable and marginalised group of people in the world . How can Governments fall for this nonsense ? Do they not look at the evidence to the contrary ? Nobody has yet explained what rights " trans "people do NOT have !! Crazy .👎👎

I wouldn’t even record that tiny violin and play it. I went through multiple eye rolls last week, vowing to stop for fear of losing my sight.

This week, I’m growing thorns .. literally 😉

This madness never seems to end.

Imagine, if you will, a class of mentally disturbed people asking for their disturbance to be validated, not only to be validated but respected — you WILL respect us — remember that one? But validation and respect alone do not appease. Declarations of bravery and beauty, and recognition as avatars of a New Trans Age are current demands. In alarmingly few years, there has been the remarkable “transition” from mental disturbance to bodhisattva consciousness.

I have little sympathy for he guy. Still: Prison, particularly in the US, unfortunately is there to break people. It shouldn't be. It does not resocialize people, it de-socializes them. He was broken just like anyone else in there. This shouldn't have happened. To no one. It is my firm conviction that even someone who raped a 14 year old girl should be safe from assault in prison. "Gender identity" does not play a role in any of this, though., and it must not.

Prison should reform those people that can be reformed, and put away those people for good who will always be a threat to people. Both can and should be done humanely, even in the case of sexual offenders.

That being said: Putting guys like him together with women would make it worse for everyone else involved, except him. To reform a dysfunctional and harmful prison system can not consist of making sure it puts even more people at risk and breaks them even harder. Which is exactly what the aim of this sob story is.

NPR for Christ's sake. I guess this is to provide cover for Biden’s next executive order allowing trans-/non-binary-/ and female identifying male inmates in Federal prison to self-ID their way into women's correctional facility-spaces.

The trouble is, this scenario isn’t unusual. Sexual predator in prison suddenly decides he’s a woman, shud enjoy extra privileges and b in a women’s prison [= opportunity to cross the threshold to assault/ rape more (trapped) women) ‘cos he’s a victim…boo hoo…Welcome to the new dog collar/swim coach’s whistle that gets the paedo a free pass… 😱😱😱😡😤😠
