Trans Women prisoners to go back to Men's prison

This will be controversial...... Apparently, 15% of prisoners in Womens Prison are biological males.

MY opinion is, if they have undergone surgery, they should stay in the womens prison.

A quick Google search confirmed my suspicion that the vast majority of trans women have not had bottom surgery. Estimates are that somewhere between 5 and 13% have had it. So the exception you want to see would apply to a tiny number of trans prisoners.

On a side note, most conservatives get whipped into a frenzy by the phrase “gender affirming care” because they automatically assume that means, as I think Sunsporter so eloquently puts it, a “chopoffadicktomy”. Not only do trans kids never get that, even most trans adults don’t either.

@Theyitis while they may not be using surgery in many cases, chemical/hormone manipulation of kids is just as unethical

"doping" is illegal for sports players, gene therapy is illegal, hormone diets for animals is restricted/highly regulated, but it's okay to do it to kids? 🤔

@wildbill83 I don’t think any of those scenarios you listed are comparable to gender-affirming care. Are you a doctor? What I’ve read is that the doctors and medical experts agree that gender-affirming hormone therapy is safe and reversible. I’m not a doctor, I don’t study medicine for a living, so I trust the experts. The only people I’ve noticed not trusting the experts are conservatives who don’t study medicine, who disagree because, as is common across many issues with contemporary American conservatives, science disagrees with their conservative sensibilities.

@Theyitis oh, you're one of those... 🙄

all those dead people that took the clot shot trusted the "experts" too... 🤔

@wildbill83 What’s the “clot shot”?
