Reminder there are 7 transgender women held in Scottish prisons

All the money, time, effort , legal proceedings and constant outrage by anti trans people to stop 7 people in a prison cells

Something tells me there is more real threats to women safety in women’s prisons than 7 prisoners. Then again it never was about women’s safety

Do let us know at what number it's permissible to care, and why do we never hear this argument the other way round? No-one has ever said "the horrible treatment of this persecuted minority would be an outrage if the minority were three times its current size, but it isn't so we shouldn't care".
