Almost 45% of trans convicts incarcerated for sexual assault
And 40% of transwomen in men's prisons are sexually assaulted, by inmates and guards. What's your point?
I believe the point is, Karma is alive and well.
Read this:
www.msn.com...
Prison culture of abuse and cover-ups.
I believe nobody is protecting women inmates from anybody.
they certainly aren't protecting women inmates from dudes in dresses, which was the point of this very thread.
I posted on page 1 that Colorado will be segregating transwomen for their protection as well as women's protection should the prison system fail to ensure transwomen get their meds, and other prisons will follow suit. That is addressing the problem you have but you continue to fail to see the other side of the coin. Abuse is rampant in prisons, no matter your gender.
So, if you are going to prison - get a good lawyer.
sorry if I didn't comment as you wanted me to. I think segregation of trans folk is a fantastic idea. It should transcend prison, and be used globally. The normies just don't understand the trans thing, so put them somewhere special, and those who wish to be around them can, and those who don't have a choice.
See, common ground.
And the lawyer advice is good, but my idea gets you laid, so there is that.

So transgenders are an...
understudied but overrepresented population.
Sounds like a few different groups I know.
Tell them to get in line.
Next.

Now how do you segregate prison guards that rape women?

So, they are *in prison* because they committed sexual assault themselves!
The irony is deep and delicious on this one.

I am specifically talking about trans people not gender dysphoria, transgender is not classified as a mental illness nor a disorder any more and that is what we are talking about here, transwomen in women's prisons; not people with gender dysphoria in prisons. Got it?

People who think they are the opposite sex are mentally ill.
We don’t need a shrink to tell us that.
I have a giant problem sacrificing the safety of women just to appease some mentally ill men.
Why don’t women have that same problem?

This thread is about some stupid California bill and trannys.
This has nothing to do with corrections folk.
Start a new thread on it if you like.

This thread's underlying truth is about everyone's safety within a prison environment not just women and men, but the mentally ill and trans people too. You see the problem is with the system not accommodating anyone.

The system already accommodates the two sexes.
Men go to men’s prison and women go to women’s prison.

The system mixes in sexual offenders with people with learning disabilities, that only accommodates whom?

Putting criminal men into women’s prisons doesn’t accommodate women.
Even people with learning disabilities can understand that.
It’s quite simple.
Colorado's case comes amid a growing number of lawsuits across the country aimed at improving access to gender-affirming care and safety for incarcerated trans people. In a landmark 1994 case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that prison officials' "deliberate indifference" to a prisoner's safety concerns violates the Eighth Amendment's "cruel and unusual punishments" clause. Since then, incarcerated trans people have won legal cases against prison administrators in Washington, Georgia, California, and Idaho.
And while a handful of states, including Colorado, have written policies regarding gender-affirming care and surgery, the barriers to accessing care are often insurmountable — an issue the consent decree hopes to address. California became the first state to establish policies on gender-affirming medical care in prisons, providing gender-affirming surgery starting in 2017. In 2019, a three-judge panel ruled that the state of Idaho was required to perform a surgery officials had previously denied. One incarcerated person in Colorado has had gender-affirming surgery, according to a Department of Corrections spokesperson.

I have a transgender sibling. I grew up with them, watching them go through the process. I happen to know exactly what I'm talking about and what this conversation is about and your attempt to disconnect transgenderism from gender dysphoria is only being done to try to disconnect the term "mental illness/disorder" from the term "transgender" because you have some inherent bias towards people with mental illnesses and disorders due to societal stigma. It is, by definition, a mental illness/disorder. If you have an issue with that, that's on you. Gender dysphoria is one of the primary indicators that a person is trans. Especially when the gender dysphoria is severe and long lasting. Marked incongruence between ones biological sex and their perceived/expressed gender is literally the definition of transgender. Distress caused by this incongruence is literally the definition of gender dysphoria. You're not doing trans people any favors by being dishonest or trying to protect them from basic definitions. Got it?

If we are going to start sending men to women's prisons because they "identify as women", will there be someone waiting at the entrance with a large rock and an axe?
Sounds like a pretty easy solution to me, don't ya think?
