absurd! In 2017, the United Kingdom actually sent a male prisoner to a women's prison. The consequences can be imagined!

Before understanding this article, let’s first understand what the term “transgender woman” is. The so-called "transgender woman" means a transgender person who was born with a male biological sex but whose gender identity is female and has changed from male to female. The so-called gender identity means a person's deeply felt gender based on personal experience.

To put it simply, all the physical characteristics of him were male when he was born, but inside he was a shy little girl.

Karen White from the UK is such a transgender person. His original name is Stephen Wood.

But this "uncle" with a rough appearance is not a shy little girl at heart, but a "shrew".

In 2017, he was arrested for multiple assaults, rapes, and sexual crimes against women. In court, he said that he was a transgender woman but had not yet undergone gender reassignment surgery, which meant that he still retained male genitals. But he insisted that he was a woman, which posed a difficult problem for the judge: should he be treated as a man in a men's prison or a woman in a women's prison?

After final deliberation, it was ridiculous that the court recognized that he was a transgender woman and sent him to Newhall Women's Prison. This was simply sending a wolf into the flock of sheep.

Although White has received hormone treatment, his roots as a man are still there. He can't control himself outside the prison. When he comes to the crowd of women, he is like actively handing lambs to the wolf's mouth.

Not surprisingly, in less than three months, White was jointly reported for sexually assaulting and harassing female prisoners. This matter caused great controversy. In the end, the court admitted that its judgment was wrong and transferred White to Frankland Men's Prison.

But unexpectedly, White, who was imprisoned in a men's prison, transformed into a "righteous man" who spoke out for female victims.

He wrote a four-page letter to a feminist campaigner in which he called on the government not to put all trans women in women's prisons, unless they have undergone complete, radical gender reassignment surgery. , has become a female both physically and mentally, otherwise she cannot be imprisoned in a women's prison like him.

He also said that after he was imprisoned in the women's prison, he saw the fear on the faces of the female prisoners. In their eyes, he was different from them. He was just a man wearing women's clothes and a woman's wig. It's just that they thought he posed a threat to their safety.

He believes that trans women who have not undergone complete gender reassignment operations are imprisoned in women's prisons, which will only make vulnerable women live in danger all day long, and they should be living in a safe environment.

I don’t know if he said these things because of his conscience or because he has schizophrenia, but what he said is reasonable.

White's scandal sparked a huge discussion at the time, focusing on whether men who identify as women should have unrestricted access to women-only spaces.

This is exactly what feminists have been fighting for for years, and apparently not enough attention has been paid to it.

The White scandal also has a positive side to the improvement of British laws and regulations. Soon the United Kingdom introduced new regulations:Prohibiting violent or sexual offenders with male genitals from serving their sentences in women's prisons. Requirements can be relaxed only in exceptional circumstances and with ministerial approval.

Women, especially women who have been injured, are a relatively vulnerable group in society. When faced with violent crimes committed by men, they are often unable to resist, are extremely vulnerable, and may even be life-threatening. The road to protecting women is long and arduous.

In any country, behind every improvement of the law is often driven by crimes caused by some loopholes. Therefore, only by always sounding the alarm and being cautious in every trial can we prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Holmes said: The life of the law is not logic but experience.
