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.”

      I guess because of the US prison system, more trans people would then be incentivized to be incarcarated which is really bad especially in combination of recent law adjustments regarding trans people?

      1. let’s make LBGTQ illegal
      2. lets create for-profit prisons exclusively for trans people
      3. concentration camps would not be too far-fetched then

        I think most people would be satisfied with trans, and particularly trans-women that went through male puberty, were incarcarated away from women.

        But logically, there are only two ways to make it “fair”.

        Either make separate jails for trans, or put everyone in the same jail. The second one would be incredibly detrimental for women and trans, as male prisoners would be in the same prison. I dont think i need to elaborate.
