In a previous newsletter I posted the following meme:
I used this to illustrate how women don’t get to identify their way out of their sex based oppression and that everybody (especially the Taliban) knows what a woman is (it is she who is raped, murdered, trafficked and oppressed on the basis of her sex).
The whole idea behind “preferred pronoun badges” is, on it’s face, ridiculous to the extreme and surely nobody would even entertain such a frivolous idea.
Or would they?
A high security prison that holds rapists, sex offenders and paedophiles is distributing pronoun badges to inmates as part of a gender identity inclusion drive.
HMP Isle of Wight - whose former inmates include paedophile Gary Glitter and the Kray twins - announced its equalities team would be handing out the preferred gender pronoun badges as part of National Inclusion Week.
That’s right - a maximum security prison that has hosted Gary Glitter, The Kray Brothers and a bevvy of rapists, pedophiles and other assorted sex offenders is handing out…wait for it…pronoun badges.
Just when you thought this couldn’t get any sillier - yes, this is actually happening.
I mean, never mind that there’s plenty of other things in prisons to worry about other than misgendering someone, like access to health care (of which is virtually non-existent in prisons both in the UK and across the pond here in the United States) and never mind these badges have pins on them that could be potentially used as weapons (not to mention the metal badges themselves), this is what the Equalities Team at HMP Isle Of Wight wants to go with to justify their overinflated salaries.
As was quoted in The Daily Telegraph (and I have also reached this conclusion) that there’s a big enough problem just bringing in pedophiles, rapists and sex offenders to justice but now their pronouns have to be respected?
Good God…the woke have broken into the prisons.
