The Entitlement of Trans Activists

Last year, 36-year-old father of two Alex Secker lured a drunk friend into a wooded area and raped her. For that crime, he was sentenced to six and a half years behind bars.

Like far too many sex offenders, however, Secker decided that during the trial he was really a "trans woman," a delusion the courts and media were all to happy to play along with. Throughout his trial, they referred to Secker as "she" and "Ms. Secker" despite him being a man.

And now he's playing the victim card, saying the "transphobia" and "misogyny" he experiences in jail are worse than the crime he committed.

The Daily Mail also reported that Secker is an "anti-TERF" (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) activist who attacked author J.K. Rowling as a "shallow, insecure pleb who mistook success for intelligence."

Secker has taken to writing letters to Inside Time, a newspaper for prisoners, where he laments "prison's tougher if you're trans" and that he's experienced "sexual assault, sexual harassment, transphobia, misogyny" while in prison.

Gee, he should have thought about that before he raped his victim, no?

In a refreshing case of judicial honesty, Judge Jason Taylor KC told Secker he "identified as a man" and was "clearly attracted to women" before telling Secker, "You were not disinhibited at the time by your conditions. There is no evidence they were as present and compelling as they are now."

Secker even admits his body is "fully developed" (read: he's a man with male genitalia), and that using the male facilities at his prison is "distressing, uncomfortable, and even potentially dangerous."

But it's not dangerous for the government to move Secker to a female prison, where he can target other vulnerable women?

For years, the Left complained about the patriarchy and misogyny, only to turn around and embrace the actual patriarchy and misogyny in the form of "trans women." By letting men into our safe spaces, our prisons, our sports, and even our rape crisis centers and hospital rooms, they sent a loud and clear message: men make better women.

This case illustrates the absolute hubris and entitlement of trans activists like Secker. He wouldn't be in prison, male or otherwise, if he hadn't raped a woman. Prison is a tough place. Ask anyone who's ever spent time behind bars. And that's because it's populated by criminals, many of them violent and antisocial. Secker believed that by magically saying he was a woman with a penis, he'd get special treatment and access to vulnerable, incarcerated women. And he's not an outlier, as Rowling herself pointed out when Secker was sentenced last year, writing on X, "The important thing to remember is, he's a total one off*, none of the other men arguing against women-only spaces are predators** and we won't find out down the line there are more rapists hiding in plain sight.***

*He really isn't.

**They totally are.

***We definitely will." 

Thankfully, the government has thus far refused to transfer Secker to a female prison. May it stay that way.

Because Secker getting his feelings hurt in prison pales in comparison to the heinous crime that landed him there in the first place.
