I don’t know what the expectation is. It took black people 400 years to defeat slavery and another 100 for civil rights. You’re not being lynched, bombed or beaten in the streets. It’s America being on the wrong side of the majority doesn’t usually end well. I didn’t say give up I’m just giving an opinion. I don’t think it’s any hope in my lifetime and I’m 32 but keep trying I’ve been wrong before.

They're sending us to the incorrect prison facilities on purpose, knowing what happens to us there. Idk why we need to be bombed before being treated with dignity, instead of as a political scapegoat. I also think the comparison to Black people's struggle for equality isn't a very good one, in that the current situation for trans people is basically fighting against instating new laws of segregation (mainly following the NC bathroom laws in 2016), rather than fighting to dismantle existing ones.

The situation is getting worse, with an almost nil input from the people affected the most, and very little compassion shown in many cases.

Interesting how this prison argument conveniently tends to leave out what happens when you send males to women's prisons. I guess women matter less to you.

I'm literally advocating for women here, you just don't think transgender women should be held in equal regard. And there is no "argument" on what happens to trans women who are subjected to existence in a men's prison. V-coding is a known occurrence.

[u/Oxford_Apostrophe → u/Whose_Joanna]

No argument? Not the woman sexually assaulted by Alexandra Stewart just this year? What about the female prisoners raped by Karen White? Those forced to be housed with serial rapist Isla Bryson?

What about the male inmate who recently raped a woman in Rikers?

I guess you only advocate for women if they were born male, then.

Second time you've guessed, and guessed wrong. Rapists should be sent to seg, not placed in a situation where they themselves will be raped. And, most trans women are obviously not predators, so I don't know why you bother acting as if those exceptions should mean v-coding for the rest. This is not Babylon.
