The attack on his niece was a few years ago. Everything this scumbag has done since has been with full awareness of what he's been empowering and emboldening.
To come out with this now is gobsmacking. I don't know how he's got the nerve.

Irks me when he says this because I’ve been at an LGBT event he’s been at, I’ve seen him attend others; he is in no way unaware of this being a problem nor his own role in it

If you own a child care centre and grant every cis woman a blanket security clearance but simultaneously deny this to either men or trans women, you are treading on precarious grounds, potentially enabling women who abuse children to go undetected.
