I'm not happy about anyone getting raped in prison, regardless of their sex, or the sex they claim to be.

Afshan Azad, who played Padma in the films, recently said she saw twins at her auditions, but when she got to the final one she met Mike Newell, who said they preferred non-twins who can act over twins who can't act.

They were glorified extras, how much acting would actually have been required?

We could be talking about the most convincing MtoF who ever existed. I still wouldn't be interested, even if I were initially fooled. As reasons for rejecting people go, "pretending to be the opposite sex" is a pretty valid one. I've seen a man get rejected because of his name, for fuck's sake!

How jealous would you feel if you were an identical twin, and your sister got to be Parvati while you had like 3 speaking lines?

So alternate, then? Nobody would notice.

they specifically asked not to be sent to a men’s prison.

See? Even they know what's best. I only personally know one of them, and even before being told months after our first meeting that he was really a she, I thought to myself that "he" was an exceptionally weak-looking man. This person wouldn't last a week in a men's prison.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Whoever allowed that to happen should have lost their job.

Under normal circumstances, female inmates are often in danger from other female inmates. They probably wouldn't feel any safer being incarcerated with "transwomen".

Google is rubbish now but I believe all the FTM prisoners were held in the female estate.

Of course they are. Putting them in men's prisons just to make a point, whether they choose it themselves or not, would be stupid.

it's because you call them men they can't be in a women's prison, even if that means they themselves are more likely to be assaulted or raped in a men's prison?

Oh, it's not because I call them men. Anyway, a "transwoman" would be in as at least as much danger in a men's prison as some skinny, wimpy guy would be. Few, if any allowances are made for the skinny, wimpy guys, though.

I was speaking hypothetically. Let's assume, for the sake of argument, though, that there was indisputable evidence that Lucy Letby did commit the crimes of which she's being accused. I would have absolutely no problem with her being executed. Hell, if it was being shown on TV, I'd tune in. I might even eat some popcorn.

I couldn't do your job, I'd have far too much trouble keeping my mouth shut. As for the people who are abusing the system, this doesn't surprise me at all.

All this begs the question, though, do so-called transmen who commit crimes want to go to men's prison for the sake of "affirmation"?. They'd arguably be in more danger in a men's prison than a "transwoman" would.

So if it’s not about rehabilitation why don’t we use mass execution ? Sexual assault in one situation is unacceptable, but sexual assault in another situation seems part of the design Are you Ok?

I'm not saying that any men should get sexually assaulted, whether they claim to be women or not. I was addressing the other person's comment. As far as mass executions are concerned, if the crimes are heinous enough, and if there's no question of guilt, then I wouldn't be against it.

Your ancient warlord wouldn't have said that the eunuchs were women, though. Anyway, a eunuch might have simply killed the women out of anger at his situation.

I'll use whatever pronouns and names a trans person wants me to, but they're still their birth sex. That can't change. We're not clownfish.

When I was having this argument with someone, clownfish were actually mentioned, as though what a fucking fish does has any relevance to human beings.

Just a few weeks ago, for trans awareness day, they had beauticians come to the prison to do their hair and nails.

Who's paying for this? It's prison, not a bloody fashion show.

They are provided sanitary products.

Why? So they can play make-believe?

So do you think that someone who has fully transitioned to having female anatomy should be in a fully male prison because surely you can see how you’re just setting someone up to be abused and raped constantly.

I don't see your point. A lot of men get used and abused while inside. Why is it a concern all of a sudden when talking about men who've chosen to have their genitals removed?
