As a general rule and as someone who believes that if you are  a trans woman you are  a woman 

So women's prison. You can't have exceptions it makes no sense. If trans women are women then they need to go in women's prisons 100% of the time. Otherwise it is contradictory.

You seem to want to make this a one size fits all black and white thing and base it all on one case

I'm just following your logic. If trans women are women and anyone who identifies as a trans women is a women then they should go into a women's prison. You're now making up vague 'other places' they could be sent but I don't think that exists.

I find that experts are important people to have around as they are the ones that know, without doubt most of the time, what the situation is around any given subject.

Can a pension or an Isa be considered tax avoidance?

According to HMRC, using the tax relief available through Isas and pensions is purely saving tax and not considered avoidance.

I would hope this puts one subject on here to bed but I doubt it!

 

 

Yes, tax rules used to achieve their purpose which is encouraging saving for a rainy day/old age and save on the future benefits bill. I'm sorry you're too ill to work but you should be satisfied you put some money aside and downsized to get more financial independence. It beats spending all your money making memories and boasting about benefits and inheritances.

Do some research into UK prisons, there are special wings in most used for such purposes. I am making nothing up.

Of course there are, but should it be a mens or womens prison? It's a simple question

There are places people can, and are sent, that are not simple male/female prisons and inside prisons there are separate areas that are used to detain some people too.

What are these places you suggest, cause this was separate from the inside prisons bit. So explain what you mean specifically.

A surprise, yes, but I presume the increasingly authoritarian outlook of the BJP has alienated enough people to lead to India's voters deciding to rein him in a little.

 

I think UK polling is slightly more reliable. But the proof will be in the pudding in a month's time.

That wasn’t a disagreement 

 

anyway enjoy your ‘retirement’ with your non existent pension!
