Scotland Presses On With Gender Recognition Reform
In The Process, It Ignores The Obvious Ramifications
The Scottish government wants to make the process of changing gender easier with a bill that is now before parliament but, in doing so, completely ignores the obvious consequences.
The secretary for Social Justice Shona Robison (seen above) introduced the Gender Recognition Reform bill last Thursday, a bill if passed into law would make it easier for adults in Scotland to change their legal gender, even lowering the age – from 18 to 16 – at which they will be able to do so.
Under the current process, applicants have to be medically diagnosed as having gender dysphoria, go through a minimum two year process and be aged over 18.
Extensive consultation has shown that applicants have found the current system “invasive and intrusive”, Robison told Parliament.
The reforms being introduced mean trans people will no longer need to provide medical reports or evidence, and the process will be substantially quicker and made available to those aged 16 and over.
In other words, this is Self-ID: the process where one can simply declare themselves trans and be done with it.
Robison attempts to assuage us paranoid fools who are leery that this would simply open the door to predacious men trying to game the system that there is no evidence “that predatory and abusive men have ever had to pretend to be anything else to carry out abusive and predatory behavior”.
You mean like the time Wayne Couzens never pretended to arrest Sarah Everard for a breach of COVID regulations before raping and murdering her?
You mean like the time Hobbie Bingham never pretended he was actually Princess Andromeda Love to get himself housed in a women’s prison in Washington where he was discovered having had sex with his cellmate who prison doctors said had the mental capacity of a child?
You mean like the time Barbie Kardashian, a trans identified male who once tore the eyelids off a social worker and called her screams “music to his ears” never prenteded to state his “anxious” desire to be locked up in a women’s prison, even though that’s exactly what he told his lawyer?
By the way, Barbie is legally female thanks in no small part to Ireland’s simplified Gender Recognition process, virtually the same Scotland wants to pass into law.
Or did you mean the time James Tubbs, a man who once sexually assaulted a 10 year old girl in a Denny’s bathroom, never pretended to be trans in order to get himself locked in a female juvenile detention facility for two years and, upon release, is not required to register as a sex offender?
Or the time a man in Colorado never pretended he was a police officer when he flashed his badge at someone he pulled over?
Or Zackary Kizer, a 26 year old male and registered sex offender who never pretended he, too, was a police officer for the express purpose of sexually assaulting female victims?
Or Taurence Callagain, a man who brutally raped a lesbian woman never pretended he was gay in order to gain her trust?
Or Justin Georges Stephen Coulombe, a man who never pretended to be a Catholic priest who was arrested and charged with child exploitation after finding kiddie porn on his electronic devices?
Or how about the loads of men not pretending to be gynecologists?
Or the guy still at large who is definitely not pretending to be a postal carrier as he robs his victims?
Or Alvin Campbell, a man who would never pretends to be an Uber driver as he kidnapped and raped a woman who got in his car thinking he was an Uber driver?
Or Jermaine Alexander, a 35 year old man who never pretended to be 17 years old just to get sexual access to a 14 year old girl whose bedroom window he climbed through after having met on her Facebook?
Or, finally, Rinehard Sinaga - a man who never pretended to be a “good samaritan” as he became the most prolific serial rapist in all of England.
Reynhard Sinaga, 36, a mature student from Indonesia, is thought by police to have abused at least 195 men over two and a half years after luring them to his flat under the guise of being a “good samaritan”, drugging his victims and then attacking them after they passed out. All but four of the 48 victims whose cases came to court were raped.
The student was proved to have committed 159 offences, including 136 rapes, which he filmed on two mobile phones. Police have yet to identify at least 70 of his victims.
I would say to Shona Robison there are plenty of things men have pretended to be in order to perpetrate crimes. I would also say to Shona Robison that there are plenty of things men have pretended to be in order to evade justice, the most prevalent one being that of pretending they’re women and making the distinction that because they’re women they’re incapable of committing the crimes of men.
Who does Shona Robison think she’s kidding?
