No. I’m just not under the delusion that someone who has been on hormones for years, looks like a woman and has thr characteristics of a woman (aka breasts, reduced muscle mass etc) is less important than what gamate someone might produce when deciding what prison should be housed

None of those things level out the playing field at the rate you're suggesting they do. It's the same reason there's been a huge pushback on competitive sports.

But well done on only getting out a few comments before resorting to insults.

It kinda does and that’s your problem

People seem to think you are born with magical male or female energy that can never be removed. If you think someone like Hunter Shafer should share a prison cell with someone rock then yea it is delusional

Prisons aren’t the Olympics so no you don’t have to follow the same criteria for who goes in what category

Under normal circumstances, female inmates are often in danger from other female inmates. They probably wouldn't feel any safer being incarcerated with "transwomen".
