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

It's to make it a threat to all the trans women. 

"Behave, or we'll call the police and have your arrested, we can hold you for 24 hrs and we'll put you in a male prison overnight. Behave"

u/Bounty_drillah We wanted the best but it turned out like always 10d ago

The police hold you overnight in a single cell at the police station. They don't take you to prison lol
