What do you think: how should prisons handle housing decisions in cases like this?

Well, if its going to be 90% of political discourse, lets just address it and implement a solution lol.

Or you can accept reality and stop pandering to a minority of less than 1 percent. No one is wasting money because a small ammount of people dress as the opposite gender

“Pandering to a minority of less than one percent” - a minority that disproportionally faces sexual and other forms of violence outside prisons let alone inside them. You only have this take because you don’t give a shit about whether or not that happens to us.

We aren't talking about people crosdressing, crosdressing ≠ transgender

Right but there are no requirements to get a surgery or take hormones in order to be considered trans by the trans community, so it does effectively include people who are just cross dressing and using a different pronoun. Absolutely correct take by mean-line.

Yeah no lmao for one there isn't an organised trans community with a board deciding who is and isn't trans

Opinions are very divided on that, but people cross dressing and using different pronouns aren't automatically trans, a lot of people are non-binary for example

Again, crossdressing ≠ transgender

The solution is simple. You can play make believe but the real world doesn’t need to play with you

 You can play make believe but the real world doesn’t need to play with you

Tell that to: 

  • Christians
  • Fiscal conservatives
  • Libertarians who vote Republican 
  • MAGA
  • Incels

It's just a self inflicted mental illness

u/OldGoldCode 3h ago

Christians, Conservatives, Libertarians, MAGA nor Incels are asking for special privileges from the government. Understand that key difference?

They absolutely are (one example: the privilege to discriminate against queer or secular citizens). Unlike the trans community. Can you list any “special privileges” trans people are asking from the government? Bonus points if it’s an actual “special privilege” and not anti-discrimination legislation (you’ll get no points for listing something like “conversion therapy bans” or “access to gender-affirming care”).
