God you're fuckin' dense. TRANS PEOPLE ARE TREATED LIKE SHIT BY POLICE AND PRISONERS ALIKE BECAUSE THEY'RE TRANS, not because they committed a crime. Also saying not to commit crimes ignores what the conversation was originally about and it's the safety of a marginalized group of people, not just in the case of being arrested.
