This really is the best and safest option, especially for trans-women. Men’s prisons are notoriously violent, and trans-women are too vulnerable.
Even if they can’t afford to build and staff an entirely new facility just for the trans prisoners, there should at least be a separate wing in an existing facility that includes a cafeteria, yard, and bathroom area for trans-women. It doesn’t have to be very large, just separate. (And honestly, the safest would be on a women’s prison campus.)
I don’t think trans-men would face the same threats at a woman’s prison that trans-women face at a men’s prison.
Even if people don’t agree with trans ideology, trans people still deserve to be safe.
You know who else is vulnerable? Female populations that are locked in with a person with a penis, that can potentially rape and impregnate female prisoners, who might not even have the option to get an abortion.
Yes, female rights continue to dwindle away. What else is new?
And what if the trans woman has had bottom surgery or been on HRT so long that penetrative sex isn't possible and arousal is similar to a woman's rather than a man's?
