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."

The only correct response is to make a trans only prison. /s

What in concentration’

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not that I think it's the best solution, since the best solution would be to accept trans women as women and trans men as men, but they would probably get a hell of a lot less mistreatment.

[–] forrgott@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

Not in our society. The worst of the worst would be hired there, and if/when people try to speak out it would be ignored.

If I was a trans man I would rather go to women's prison to be honest.

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

everyone would rather go to the women's prison

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, yes? That would make sense.

Or a prison for everyone.

[–] kadotux@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
