    On the sexual assault thing. There are more cases of prison guards sexually assaulting and raping prisoners than there are trans people. There are more cases of female prisoners assaulting other female prisoners than trans women assaulting female prisoners. The regularity of rape in mens prisons are so laughably common that its become a cultural cornerstone.

    Trans women might rape other women in jail, yes. Rape is a problem, but if you definitely want to ensure that rape will occur you put the trans women in mens prisons.

    JK Rowling and the TERF Brigade does not care about rape in prisons. They care about trans women and want them to be raped or murdered in mens prisons. Pretending that they want anything else is dishonest.

        The pieces of corn in the pile of shit is technically still food but we flush it all the same.

        If we treat rape as a general problem in prisons we will solve the trans women problem as a side effect because will have made the prison a safer space for everyone. Singling out trans women rapes as a unique and unnatural problem is just bigotry and we don’t accept bigoted framings of other societal problems.

          Seriously, what the fuck? How about no rapes in prisons instead of trying to decide who is ok to torture?

              It isn’t that nobody wants to pay for prisoners, but more that the country is full of puritan Calvinist predestination believers. They think something like, “everyone in prison is bad or evil (you can tell because they are in prison), so they deserve whatever happens. I, my friends, and my family will never go to prison because we are good.”

                I really wish more people understood just how fickle the justice system can be…
