This Never Happens

Except it does. All the time.

Men, as a class, pose a danger to women, as a class. That is an unequivocal fact. And male offending patterns are not altered by ‘gender identity’.

Whenever women protest the inclusion of trans-identified males in our spaces, we’re shouted down and dismissed as transphobes and hysterics. ‘Trans women’ pose us no risk, we’re constantly told. This never happens. When we produce evidence to the contrary, we’re accused of bigotry and of demonising trans people. We cannot win.

The point is that men can pose a threat to women and children however they ‘identify’ and women have every reason to fear male violence. Since it’s impossible to tell which males are harmless and which are not, basic safeguarding means we exclude all males from women’s spaces. Even the ones who claim to ‘identify as women’. This list - and it’s a far from exhaustive list - demonstrates that we are right to do so.

With each case described in more detail below, here are 236 examples of ‘transwomen’ predating on women and/or children. The thing that never happens:

Karen Jones (UK)

Formerly known as Mark John Jones & Karen Louise Lawton

In 2000 Jones strangled and suffocated his own partner, 43-year-old Michael Cutler. By the time Cutler’s body was discovered three weeks later its advanced stage of decomposition meant the pathologist could not ascertain the exact cause of death. Consequently, Jones could only be charged with manslaughter. He was convicted in 2001 and, although given a five-year sentence, he was released from prison on licence just one year later.

Less than a week after his release from prison, Jones tried to rape a woman in a Manchester clothing store. He punched the woman in the face, gagged her by ramming a lemon into her mouth and then tried to rape her. The attempt failed only because Jones could not maintain an erection. The ordeal was so terrifying and brutal that the victim told police she thought she was going to die. Jones was arrested and subsequently jailed for life.

At the time of the attempted rape, Jones had already begun ‘identifying as a woman’. While imprisoned, he received laser hair removal, cross-sex hormone treatment and, despite not having had any SRS surgery, he obtained a gender recognition certificate. Jones demanded to be moved to a women’s prison but his being possessed of male genitals prevented the transfer.

So determined was Jones to be accommodated in the female estate that in 2009 he brought a judicial review. His case set the legal precedent by which fully intact males became entitled to seek and be granted transfer to women’s prisons.
