Barbie Kardashian is in a women's prison. Taoiseach's response to questions on this are here..

Laws cannot legislate for the extreme cases. To do so would result in a police state.

Take child protection laws for sports clubs as a example. They have garda vetting. This only flags up people who have already been identified as a concern and does not in any way stop a predator who has not come to the attention of the guards from getting involved in sport. The only way to stop that from happening is to stop adults from getting involved completely, destroying opportunities for children to get involved in sport. Do you treat someone who puts themselves forward to get involved in coaching children with the same suspicion as you do someone looking for gender recognition?

Separately, my personal opinion is that someone seeking to change their stated gender should seek guidance in making that decision, but that does not mean that increased suspicion should automatically be assigned to someone who is seeking to change gender.

Was that so difficult,see no need to rhyme off female serial killers or pedophiles as replies , trying to wind up people that's what that's all about and we don't need experts to tell us otherwise,

This a part of the problem so called activists abusing the discussion and throwing names and labels at people just to try shut down any discussion, because you can only see and hear your own opinion, no matter how wrong you are ,

A minority of men have committed sexual assaults and rape while under the influence of alcohol, but at order of magnitude higher levels than transwomen. Lets ban all men from drinking so we can safegaurd women. Would definitely prevent far more potential assaults for one thing

1. Children cannot be trusted look after themselves and avoid a potentially dangerous situation. But even then garda vetting only filters known predators. Are you saying adult females should be treated like children?
2. GRC is not about access. "safe spaces" is a red herring. Access to a changing room or other space is entirely at the discretion of the operator of a venue.
3. This man is in solitary confinement
4. As above
5. See number 2
6. Before I answer, do you think processes should be put in place for other environments where adults interact or is it just for trans?
7. See number 2.

All a GRC does is give a piece a paper that recognises a choice, that is all. Someone who does not have a GRC could still present as a woman in a females "safe space" and gain access without a GRC. And if told the were being excluded on the grounds of gender could bring a case. And if Larry Murphy, seen as you a keen to use him as an example, turned up in the female changing room of the local swimming pool with a GRC the management are perfectly entitled to ask them to leave on the ground of the safety of other patrons or at the request of other patrons who fear for their own safety.

Do we incarcerate those men in women's prisons?

Simple yes or no.

Rapists should be kept in solitary confinement or only in units with other rapists

Why can someone only answer yes or no and not expand on the answer? Pure demands for yes or no questions are designed as a weak form of "gotcha" to the exclusion of context.

Convicted male sex offenders are incarcerated in mens prison, but are often located in sex offender wings - eg. separate from the main population, as has also been done with this individual, except in a different prison. The real solution here is co-location of prisons. A potentially violent trans individual in prison who is genuine and not looking to game the system may still require prison officers used to dealing with individuals of higher physical strength.

Now, have men been sexually assaulted in prison by violet sex offenders?

Have women been sexually assaulted by women in prison? Yes or no with context please

So, there's a difference then and therefore no point in conflating crimes committed by BK and where they're imprisoned with men.

It's very well known that both men and women have been both the perpetrators and victims of crime in prison, if you want the statistics for that, including sexual assaults specifically, you're free to look it up. That has nothing to do with the concerns about BK being in a women's prison.

Yes women have been raped in prison by transgender women,

There was a recent public case involving a us prisoner fathering a child behind bars while facing other charges of rape against other female prisoners,

There was a case in the UK too involving a trans sex offender sexually assaulting other prisoners and female guards

You did of course know what I meant - have women been sexually assaulted in women by biological women?

I would be infinitely more concerned about the likes of him buying a car, then some nonsense about trans rapists hiding in the laundry basket.

I'm sure they have, it's well documented it happens in male and female prisoner's being forced into sexual relationships in return for protection or to pay off a debt

If a transwoman is offended because, only in my own head, I assume that they are not a woman then I hope that they can find it in their heart somehow to forgive me.
