How exactly?
The individual in question is dangerous. Doesn't matter at all what their gender is. What does it have to do with the GRA?
Because of the GRA, he was housed in a women's prison. A man - a dangerous one at that - was housed in a women's prison, because he says he is a woman. Is that not absurd? Whether he was segregated from the general prison populace is irrelevant - he was incarcerated at a prison for women. This is because of the GRA - the preposterousness that merely "identifying as a woman" means a man is a woman. It's not even correct use of language - woman isn't a gender. Gender denotes behaviour. Woman/female - these are rooted in biology. Feminine is the gender - and yes, any man can be feminine. Nothing wrong with being gender non conforming.
BK is very traumatised and disturbed due to a shockingly abusive childhood, but this has made him dangerous and deranged. It has made him sexually dysfunctional due to depravities being visited on him as a child. I feel kinda heartbroken for the little boy he was. But now he's a young man, and people - especially women, it seems - are not safe around him.
It's absolutely correct that he is not representative of all trans people. He's no friend to them actually - no doubt they're sick of certain cross-dressing men hijacking their community, which comprises people who have, since a young age, been distressed by their sexed body... and want to have all the hormones and surgery to at least present as convincingly as possible as the opposite sex. Blokes who wear women's clothes (because it arouses them) and nothing more... are not the same as actual trans people.
But the GRA makes it possible for any bloke who just says he identifies as a woman (which means very little) to be sent to women's prisons, play in women's contact and strength sports, and use women's facilities. And have to be referred to with she/her/hers pronouns. Men - getting all these concessions because of saying they identify as women. It's so beyond bonkers it would make a brilliant comedy. And it's particularly flummoxing when self proclaimed feminists support it.
Now a transwoman who has had all the hormones and surgery (after age 18) - once they're respectful to women, I've no problem with them using women's toilets, changing rooms, being sent to women's prison for non violent/non sexual crimes. Sports - not those with strength components as there's still a physical advantage - but I'll use she/her/hers for them. They are the real deal.
But just any bloke saying he's a woman - absolutely unacceptable. Yet legitimised by the GRA, leading to something as farcical as a violent, sexually disturbed man being placed in a women's prison.
