@sappholives83 This is doing two sleights of hand at once: (1) treating “trans community” as a single political actor that “supports” specific prison placements, and (2) treating any harm in custody as proof that trans people “despise women.” Neither follows.
@sappholives83 Safeguarding failures in prison are real and serious. But the cause is risk management, not a minority group’s existence. Prisons already separate people all the time based on credible risk: violence history, sexual offences, gang affiliation, coercive behaviour, vulnerability.
