Did anyone ask the women?
The dear dear Guardian.
Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order
Incarcerated trans women report being groped by male guards and suicidal thoughts: ‘I’m punished for existing’
Oh yes?
Now consider what women could report when men turn up in their prisons. Groping possibly at all? Staring? Peering? Rape? Violence of all kinds?
“I’m just continuing to be punished for existing,” said Whitney, a 31-year-old trans woman who was transferred from a women’s facility to a men’s prison this week. The BOP changed her records from “female” to “male”, records show. In messages before her transfer, she said she felt like a “pawn in others’ political games”. The Guardian is not using her full name due to concerns about retaliation.
But what about the women in prisons alongside trans women? What about their fears and worries? What about violence against them? Why is the Graun so much more worried about men who pretend to be women than about women themselves? Real women, with their smaller bones? Why does it not occur to the Guardian that putting men in women’s prisons is grossly unfair to women???
There’s a lot more of the same crap, and of course it never once occurs to the “journalists” that men in women’s prisons are a danger to women.
‘I’m punished for existing’
No, the punishment is for whatever crime resulted in a jail sentence. Not that that excuses the guards, mind.
Today is International Womens Day, and at least in South Australia, all the women to be recognised or awarded, are, oddly enough, women. Not one transvestite amongst them.
Of course, the usual howls of outrage from the man babies who walk among us “So, when is International Mens Day?
I have a new shero, the woman who answered “It’s November 19, but you neither know nor care as it isn’t an opportunity for you to shit on women”.
“Groped by male guards”? You mean a standard guard/inmate search? I.e., NOT a sexual touching?
Poor baby.
Oh yes, I took the accusation of groping at face value, I forgot there was the possibility of lying about standard practices.
Say, do you think he has any sympathy for actual female women searched by impostor male ‘women’ guards? (Rhetorical)
On average about 364.75* days of the year are International Men’s Day. Some think the only problem with that is that it’s not 365.25
* 364 whole days, plus one fourth to account for leap years, plus one half to account for the fact that March 8 is already 50 % dedicated to men claiming to be women.
International Men’s Day is November 19th. Few people know this, I guess because it’s not really important to discuss men’s issues, it’s only important to complain about women getting something for themselves.
