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...
Don’t you think it’s inhumane to separate them from both genders?
