A transgender woman inmate serving her sentence in a women’s federal prison sued the Trump administration on Sunday, arguing that Republican U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent executive order narrowly defining sex violates the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment, is “motivated by discriminatory animus” toward trans people, and forces “dangerous transfers to men’s facilities.”

    Not that I think it’s the best solution, since the best solution would be to accept trans women as women and trans men as men, but they would probably get a hell of a lot less mistreatment.

      Not in our society. The worst of the worst would be hired there, and if/when people try to speak out it would be ignored.

      If I was a trans man I would rather go to women’s prison to be honest.
