It was inevitable that this #Alberta lawyer would limit who could see her revealing thread.
So, I took screen shots to keep things on record.
This is an invaluable glimpse into the mindset of those working within the penal system in #Canada 🇨🇦.
In this series of 10 tweets, we see… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tweet #1 : Instant anger over citizens simply expressing their concerns in a public space.
Tweet #2 - Admitting that few in #Canada really care much about incarcerated women.
Amy is right!
But why, then, would she proceed to excoriate a few folks on a Calgary #yyc overpass who actually *do* care?
Why would she become so angry when encountering such a rare thing?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tweet #3 - Aha, yes, here it is… “women with penises”
Tweet #4 - There it is, again: “women with penises.”
Only those who are ideologically captured would say such a thing.
In any case, Amy is wrong.

There are more such accounts emerging from within our penal… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tweet #5 - No doubt the “gender confirming surgeries” are provided free of charge, courtesy the #Canadian tax payer.
In any case, Amy indicates here that they are, indeed, being transferred to women’s prisons.
But where she is wrong is that women from the inside are telling us… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tweet #6 - The old trope: “But they feel so vulnerable being imprisoned with men!”
Yet, professionals like Amy cannot seem to make the immediate leap:
👉🏼If trans are vulnerable to men, women are even *more* vulnerable to men.
Why insist on forcing a male body into a woman’s cell?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tweet #7 - Women of any race have every right to “complain” about being forced to share a prison cell with a male.
But, OK, just another tweet to verify that Amy works within the system.
Therefore, I take her thread very seriously.
Which is why I must take time to archive in this… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tweet #8 - This is also an old trope.
Males are far more threatening to females than other females are!
If two females confront each other in a prison it might actually be a fair fight.
But as we see in combat sports, males can punch up to 160% harder.
They have much stronger… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Tweets #9 and #10 - Ah, yes, the inevitable profanity that always accompanies TRAs.
Truth is… We *do* care about safety for inmates. ALL inmates - including the ones who are actually female.
For the love of all things decent, put the tans-identifying males into a separate wing… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
