While still a man
A transgender woman found guilty of raping two women before transitioning has been jailed for eight years.
Is he a transgender woman though? Even in their terms? He “transitioned” after he was arrested. Does even the Guardian really think he really thinks he’s a woman?
Isla Bryson was convicted last month of raping two women – one in Clydebank in 2016 and one in Glasgow in 2019 – while still a man known as Adam Graham.
“while still a man” ffs. He didn’t magically change into a woman – he tried to get away with his sexual violence against women by claiming to be a woman.
She was found guilty of two charges of rape in January after a six-day trial at the high court in Glasgow.
Pronouns über alles.
The victim said: “I said to stop but he (Bryson) just kept on going, and that’s when I just closed my eyes and I am doing what he wanted to do.”
Again with the helpful “he (Bryson)” as if we might not know the victim meant Bryson.
On Tuesday, Lord Scott said Bryson was, in fact, “preying on these two women because of their vulnerability and raped them in their own homes where they were entitled to feel safe”.
Addressing Bryson, he added: “You are not at the stage of accepting what you did or acknowledging the serious harm you inflicted on two women.”
That kind of woman doesn’t matter though. It’s only the kind like Bryson who matter.
I agree we are entitled to feel safe in our own homes, but I think we should also feel safe, at least within reason, in other places. We should be able to feel as safe as a man can feel. No, we won’t be free from all sorts of nasty behavior, but in general, we shouldn’t have to be on a constant watch, especially in our workplaces,
Oh, well. If we can get safety in our own homes (not likely for women suffering domestic violence) then maybe we can work on the rest of it.
