A rapist in a women's prison?
2017-09-12
h/t Instapundit
What kind of society puts a male rapist in a women’s prison? In what nation would it be considered acceptable to put a man convicted of raping two girls into an enclosed space with hundreds of women? In Britain. In 2017.

Incredibly, Martin Ponting, who was sentenced to life in 1995 for the rape of two girls under the age of 16, was recently moved to the all-women prison of Bronzefield in Surrey because he now identifies as a woman and goes by the name of Jessica Winfield. He has now been segregated from the other prisoners at Bronzefield presumably for some serious misdemeanour. (For making advances to women, say sections of the press, though the prison authorities deny this.) To place a rapist among women because he claims to be a woman might prove to be the moment the cult of genderfludity crossed the line from irritating to psychotic.

#5  The process of a man becoming a woman is fairly involved according to Stephen Katz.

It would seem that even after counseling, hormone treatment and surgery a transformed woman could still be sexually aggressive towards other women. I don't know since I'm flying blind here.

#3  When asked why he robbed banks, a famous crook said "because that's where the money is." History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
