Three biologically male trans murderers are still being housed with female inmates, despite the implementation of the Scottish Prison Service’s updated transgender guidelines. The Mail has the story.
The ‘female-identifying’ killers have not been moved from women-only custody units because, feminist campaigners say, ‘they murdered men’ rather than women.
Scottish Prison Service (SPS) guidance, published after the case of trans rapist Isla Bryson, states that a transgender person can’t be considered for admission or transfer to a women’s prison if they have a history of violence against women and girls.
Feminist campaigners fear that trans people whose victims were male fall outside the scope of this policy and that Paris Green, Melissa Young and Alex Stewart – all violent transgender inmates – are still enjoying the benefits of softer touch female prisons. All of their victims were men. …
Kate Coleman of Keep Prisons Single Sex said: “These murderers are free to remain in women’s prisons because their victims were men.
“That three violent male offenders remain in the female estate is shocking. We can only guess how many more may be held with women, as the SPS refuses to disclose this information. This policy is clearly not fit for purpose. It goes against civil society for the safety and wellbeing of women in prison to be so completely and callously disregarded.”
MSP Ash Regan, Alba party leader at Holyrood – who resigned her SNP cabinet position over the party’s stance on gender reforms – said: “No women should be housed in the prison estate with violent males. The SPS and the Scottish Government should rethink this ill thought out and dangerous policy.”
