> “Women’s safety must not take a backseat to the wishes of violent criminals.
That’s all there is to it, this isn’t about some broader social issue, it isn’t about trans rights in general, it’s about a tiny minority of a minority that’s genuinely dangerous and needs to be treated as such.
Ones’ rights end where anothers’ begin. I support trans rights understanding there are those who exploit loopholes to gain access to potential prey. It’s going to need to be clarified as we have more people incarcerated who are trans.
Of course this kinda thing makes headlines, but no one gives a shit when cis female rapists are put in with other women (or hell, when cis male rapists are in men’s prisons) nor about the much more extensive abuse perpetuated by corrections officers. Assault of other inmates, sexual or otherwise, is something those guys should be preventing, and yet…
This is just trouble either way. Either you have a partially transitioned woman in a woman’s jail, but one attracted to women and with a history of violently and sexually assaulting women. That’s bad. Or you have a partially transitioned women in a men’s jail, where they’re a target for every male sexual predator or inmate desiring company.
And while they may be a bad person who deserves to be locked away, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be sexually assaulted. Rape (let alone gang rape) shouldn’t be a punishment in any country.
Sky and Fox News should be banned from this subreddit spreading hate is not oniony in the slightest and that’s exactly what this article is trying to do. All the idiots in the comments are just suckling Murdochs teat.

Will this woman also impregnate other female inmates like the previous one did?

The key sentence:

It would be great if they just put her in solitary. I bet she’d change her mind about transitioning pretty quick.

Just a straight guy not wanting to experience violence within the male general prison population.
He’s faking. He’s not trans.

Looks like a woman to me, kind of the motherly type (assuming she identifies as motherly).

Hint: “row” means fight/uproar, not a place like prisoner row.
Took me a few reads to parse…

If men and women were treated equally in the eyes of the law, this wouldn’t be an issue.
