The Day Reality Escaped Labor’s Gender Theory.

Question… what is a woman?

If you answered that a woman is anyone who says he is, congratulations, you are now qualified to be a Victorian Labor MP.

Let me ask you an obvious follow-up question.

If a woman is anyone who says he is, what is a woman in a female prison?

If you answered that a woman in a female prison is a “duck” — as in “a sitting duck” — then congratulations, you have twice as many firing neutrons as your average Victorian Labor MP, which is to say you have at least one.

When Ideology Meets Prison Walls

Labor MPs — drunk on the idea that they could be so inclusive as to let lads become ladies — rearranged society without any consideration of the consequences.

It never occurred to them that putting a dude in a female prison might be like putting a fox in a hen house.

So they allowed a murderer to be housed in a women’s prison because “he” now identified as a “she”. And it would have been terribly rude not to indulge his feminine feelings.

Any suggestion that an immoral bloke placed in a female prison might behave exactly like an immoral bloke placed in a female prison was dismissed as hateful superstition.

Besides, how much could really go wrong?

Arthur was now Martha. He was a changed man. Sorry, woman.

But reality, like a beachball shoved under water, has an awkward habit of popping back up and smacking you in the face.

Which brings us to last week’s headline:

Secret Payout After Transgender Murderer’s Sexual Assault at Female Prison

Clinton Rintoull, who was jailed for murder, couldn’t keep his hands to herself when transferred to the minimum-security Tarrengower female prison after ‘transitioning’ while serving a 20-year sentence.

He sexually assaulted a female prisoner.

After the assault — a lesbian one, if we’re being doctrinally consistent — she (by whom I mean he) was transferred back to a men’s prison.

It’s strange, isn’t it?

A man identifying as a woman is a woman right up until he behaves like a man — at which point he abruptly stops being a woman and is thrown back in with the men.

It’s hard to keep up.

Consistency, of course, has never been a strong suit of progressive ideology. Best not to strain yourself trying to map it. But I digress.

Women Pay the Price

Last week, the Jacinta Allan government quietly settled a lawsuit with the victim for an undisclosed sum — generously paid for by taxpayers, who had no say in the experiment but are always invited to cover the damages.

You’d think the Jacinta Allan Government would have learned its lesson.

Don’t put men — no matter how they identify — in women’s prisons. It’s dangerous to women and to the public purse.

But do you really expect people — already so corrupted in logic and reason — to learn from mistakes?

Or perhaps it’s not that their minds are so dark that no light can penetrate. Maybe it’s that their pride is so great, they simply cannot allow mistakes to be admitted.

Jactina Allan’s Government rejected placing a blanket ban on men — even those with sexual assault convictions — in female prisons.

Instead, Labor MPs decided that Corrections Victoria should consider what risk the man identifying as a woman posed to the good order and security of the women’s prison.

Only after those factors are considered, is the prisoner’s gender identity expected to be taken into account.

In other words, Labor MPs learned nothing from this scandal.

An Allan government spokesperson was asked to comment on the payout.

The response was, as you would expect:

“The safety and welfare of all prisoners in the system is paramount when determining placements. Corrections Victoria has updated its placement policies so it’s clearer that this must be the first consideration when deciding where prisoners go – and we stand ready to act further if needed.”

In other words…

We’re very sorry this happened — and we reserve the right to do it again.
