Transgender Isla Bryson who raped two women when he was a man called Adam Graham, one in 2016 and another in 2019 has been found guilty has now been moved from the women’s prison he was in to a male prison.
There are two stories here firstly the decision of the Scottish Parliament to attempt to change their law whereby a man can have his gender changed from that at birth when attaining the age of 16 by mincing about in a frock for a comparatively short period of time and saying they are a woman.
Apparently Adam Graham took the decision to go down this route during the court proceedings and his estranged wife Shonna Graham suggested he had only done it in order to get a more lenient sentence and an easier time in prison rather than locked up with a load of big scary men.
I think the decision to move him to a male prison is eminently sensible for this man who is allegedly in the process of transitioning but has not actually transitioned and is therefore just a convicted rapist in a frock complete with penis who would in fact be more like a fox in a hen house than a man who genuinely thinks he is a woman.
It certainly gives weight to the British Government’s decision to block the Scottish Parliament from passing their rather flawed Gender Recognition Bill.
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother who had dementia, hence the lack of acting work but shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
