If you think that then do you support strict sex segregation as in Saudi Arabia? It might work but it seems excessive to me. I'm more for trying to find reasonable compromises. We don't lock all men up because some of them might sexually assault women, but we do try to ensure that women are able to...

It's a question, not a conclusion. I asked it because of your (lack of) reaction to evidence, including actual video evidence, that this had actually happened. Given that well over 90% of sex abusers are male,(93.4% in the US in 2021 https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publica...

MOD: alternatively you could clarify exactly why you think it is far fetched to claim it is facilitating sexual assault. That approach would be far more conducive to an agreeable discussion rather than the irritating adversarial type that is becoming too pervasive. So it's ok now for posters to mak...

Why don't you point out exactly how you came to that conclusion from my post?…login to view the rest of this post

Except in this case they are: that's a sexual assault that would not have happened if a boy hadn't been allowed to pretend to be a woman. And IMO every sexual assault matters, and I think we can learn lessons from how they happen to try to reduce the numbers. We'll never stop all sexual assaults, b...

He's not living as a woman though - he's a gender non conforming man. He's not trans - he has never even said he's trans. When I googled him, everything he has said about himself since 2020 is that he is a transwoman. Eddie Izzard 'more content' as a trans woman https://share.google/fkOMG4Nw95WHSkh...

I think you need to read people's posts several times before replying. That's not what I said. In fact I even said it wouldn't have been better. The point is that it wouldn't have happened. Over 90% of sexual assaults are by men. So this is a male who exploits the pretence that men can "live a...

The Ryan Commission report identified 800 abusers (but covered the names under pseudonyms) and concluded that abuse was 'endemic and systematic'. Where did you get your number '11' from? Even if your number is correct that means that 789 child abusers toddled off into retirement without being charg...

Here's what happens when people pretend to believe that a man can be a woman, and crucially, that other people should be expected to play along: this girl wasn't even told she was being pitted against a biological boy. When she was sexually assaulted by her opponent during the match, she thought sh...

It is interesting all the same to watch the US government in the shape of the DoJ and FBI trying desperately hard to limit the fallout from a child sex abuse and trafficking ring involving notables across US society. Like deja vu watching the arms of the Irish state trying to avoid prosecuting hund...

"Or something". I didn't say he was dangerous. I said he's not harmless. I think it's very harmful when a famous man uses his celebrity to promote the idea that a man can legitimately take a position reserved for women just because it makes him happy. It makes it all the harder for vulner...

I can only suggest you write to Congress and set them right on the subject according to your experience from quite another island where paedophiles were allowed to roam free. You think anyone named in public in the Epstein files is going to be convicted of anything in the USA? They won't Entirely t...

Googles him
Seems he is living as a woman now.
Fair enough. What's wrong with that? You said he was dangerous or something?

Prejudice of a case is a lot more nuanced than you think it is and has been used in the past to get politicians off potential charges infamously. The media are entitled to report whether someone is being questioned ahead of potential charges as long as they remain factual and do not give an opinion...

What is wrong with Eddie Izzard?

'Mudslinging'.... as I've pointed out Ro Khanna is a qualified lawyer and he has pointed out that the six men who had their names redacted by the DoJ in the released files are 'likely incriminated' in the unredacted files. I'm quite interested in why the 'nothing to see here' crew in Ireland are qu...

You just can't read, can you? Coverage of Maxwell's arrest in New Hampshire in the media came before she was charged. In the case against the Sinn Fein TD in Cork why do you think a file has gone to the DPP after he was questioned? Is it just for a laugh? He was questioned, released WITHOUT CHARGE ...

Can you not read? In the case of the TD in Cork he was named in the media as being questioned by Gardai before being released, without charge, and a file sent to the DPP. Charges may arise or they may not depending on what the DPP think of the Garda file which will include statements made to them b...

Try taking a look at the two linked examples of people who were named ahead of charges, never mind convictions, in the media I just sent you. Your notion that no one can be named in the media ahead of conviction is demonstrably wrong, both in the US and in Ireland. You can only prejudice a case if ...

So Ghislaine Maxwell wasn't named at all before being convicted, was she? What about the media coverage of her being arrested at a rural location in the US before being charged?
