i uh don't have one of course but owch
when I see people argue "they put trans people into womens' prisons and then they rape people" it's like... isn't that kinda on the prison to prevent? it's not like cis women can't assault each other?
True transexuals are quite rare. What is far less rare in a prison context is men that want to be housed with women for the sexual thrill, or even for the outright opportunity to prey on women.
Around 40% of the known "trans women" in UK prison systems are sex offenders (https://trans-violence.tumblr.com/post/613407247284011008/half-of-all-transgender-prisoners-are-sex). What prison warden in their right mind that is trying to prevent sexual violence would voluntarily house convicted male sex offenders with women in the first place?

there shouldn't be opportunities for prisoners to rape other prisoners - and honestly, there shouldn't be gender-segregated prisons in the first place.

So solitary confinement for each and every prisoner then? Cause honestly, that's the only true way you can eliminate all opportunities for prisoners to rape one another.
@mewmew @LukeAlmighty @dave @lottev @knotteye
For one, I wouldn't condemn everyone to solitary confinement so they can't rape each other.
This entire discussion started because you think there's some magic way to prevent all sexual assaults in prison, which I pointed out can't be done without resorting to something vile.
I'm not here to argue for or against solitary confinement, and I don't appreciate you trying to divert the discussion into this. I don't know what I'd do to eliminate this practice, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable to abuse it just because it's the best thing we can think of using for some very extreme cases.
