Queensland's prison sees rising number of male inmates identifying as women

Queensland's prison system may need to be overhauled to deal with an increasing number of male inmates who identify as women, according to a Queensland criminologist.
The warning comes after a clash between how the Prime Minister and Queensland's Labor Attorney General define "women".

Gender ought to be identified as per DNA configuration. That is XX for female; XY for male.

Which women? The women who are actually women, or the women who are not really women, but claim they are? Seriously, next you’ll have people like one of our former federal pollies, Mr. A. Downer, claiming the fish net stockings and high heels he was once caught in, on camera, were only ever intended to be used as an incentive to modernise the political landscape! F’off!

this is an easy fix. Pick the right prison and move the inmate out to other facilities and make it a "others" prison. We seem to have three basic groups now, men, women and "others." Transfer one prison the an "others" prison. Fixed!

Research indicates transgender people are more likely to be diagnosed with a personality disorder than cisgender people and prisoners are more likely to be diagnosed with a personality disorder. So which came first, the gender dysphoria or the criminality (assuming that a percentage of the cases are genuine)?

[@heirofthespirit]

First comes the trauma which leads to both PDs (often Cluster B ones) and criminality.

[@DanielSMatthews]

@@heirofthespirit There is a genetic component to personality disorders. Twin studies have shown that people who are identical twins (who share 100% of their genes) are more likely to both have a personality disorder than people who are fraternal twins (who share 50% of their genes). This suggests that genes play a role in the development of personality disorders. However, it is important to note that genes are not the only factor that contributes to the development of personality disorders. Environmental factors, such as childhood trauma, can also play a role. The exact way in which genes and environment interact to cause personality disorders is not fully understood. However, scientists are working to learn more about this complex issue.

[@bogan-slayer7469]

@@DanielSMatthews Would it be reasonable to say that signs of personality disorder may include: A failure to attain any higher education level? A failure to maintain any professional career for any length of time? A failure, therefore, to gain any real world expertise? An incessant need for attention and validation? A need to boast excessively? A willingness to post alarmist and untrue statements on social media in order to satisfy the attention and validation appetite? Delusion?

Why wouldnt you womens prisons are like holiday camps where they stay in four bedroom apartments with common lounge room and kitchens, men get locked up in cells.

[@legallyfree2955]

If they manage to convince the courts they are women before sentencing women also get shorter sentences for the same crimes, so win win.
