If a man says he's a woman, then, in Scotland, he is a woman – except, apparently, for rapist Adam Graham, aka Isla Bryson.

Brendan O'Neill:

Surely the broader problem here is the idea that ‘trans women are women’? That any man who says he is a woman is a woman? If you accept this idea, then you have to accept it for Bryson too, right? This is what I would like to ask Sturgeon: Do you think Bryson is a woman? Do you think his self-identification as female makes him female? If you do, why haven’t you put him in a women’s prison? And if you don’t, will you finally admit that JK Rowling and the many other critics of self-ID have a point when they say men are not women?
