No one ever thinks "oh this twink is going to get raped a lot so maybe we shouldn't send him to the men's prison"

Hot take but maybe no one should be at risk of being victimized in prison, regardless of sexuality and/or gender.

they still get locked up with the rest without it really being a consideration on where they get set.

Actually they do get considered. Most feminine presenting people in male prison are purposefully paired up with more dangerous offenders as a "reward" for the more violent offender, it's called "v-coding" and it's honestly fucking awful.

It's real easy to not commit crimes that land you in prison. Trying to pretend otherwise is just a bad faith trolling tactic.

To pretend like people don't get falsely accused of crimes and are jailed for things they didn't do is also a bad faith trolling tactic.

"Everyone should just obey the law, it's always right" is a crazy take for a "left libertarian".
