"At least 181 of the 244 transgender inmates, more than 74 per cent, are in jail for crimes including rape, forcing under-age children into having sex, grievous bodily harm and robbery."

"More than 70 per cent of transgender prisoners in British jails are serving sentences for sex offences and violent crimes, government figures have revealed."

"A former prisoner governor, said that in her experience most trans women prisoners changed their gender only when they came into contact with the criminal justice system."

Ted Cruz Directly Confronts Dems Over Nominee Who Supports Jailing males in women’s prison

7:10 when men care more about women than women 5:00 3:02 2:00

6:24 forced to share intimate spaces with repeat predators

(the judge in question is a woman)

So it would seem outside of nepotism & richboy privileges, men can get over on women or men get extra privilege over women only WHEN they claim to be women.

Then women’s rights are overwritten, anti-woman polices, and it’s not men pushing for this, A WOMAN judge said to transfer a serial rapist.

Let me repeat that for the “This is why I hate men” stans: The Men in power here aren’t the one’s putting women at risk, A WOMAN is being anti-Woman to accommodate someone who headcanons themselves to be a woman, all at the expense of actual women.

Symptoms of Collapse begins with redefining what is reality. When you begin re-writing and retconning facts, this is what you get, normalized insanity.

And everyone loses, every time.

When your female inmates are getting pregnant by your trans transferees, maybe it’s time to let go of some misconceptions that anyone can just claim they’re a woman, chromosomes be-damned, science only exists when we want it to exist. 

Because clearly we’re seeing the consequences of such delusion, and the victims here in this instance are women.

Saw the sonic 3 trailer are you telling me the movie based on Sonic Adventure 2 is Not anti-military??? No anti-authority theming here?? Nothing?? The game where a kid gets gunned down? Where Shadow’s grief and hate for humanity is BECAUSE of the military?? Where Sonic runs from the cops and is consistently annoyed at their existence?

I swear this is not meant as a smartass response, I’m genuinely wondering; what about trans women whose sex crimes were against men or boys?

This is the first question I got about this that I don't think was asked with the intention to derail the conversation.

Rapists don't see their victims as human. Why? Because had they recognised their humanity, they would have sought consent.

If they don't see their victims as human, I see very little reason for them to care about the sex of their victim. A men's prison has the equipment and training against an AMAB criminal, guards ready to prevent an AMAB prisoner from attacking. I doubt guards in women's prisons are ready for that.

And as always, rapists deserve death.

Boots strikes a pose on some deep space women's prison!

Oh look, a rape apologist wanting to lock rapists and those they like to victimise in the same room! Hey wait, I think I've seen that before...

I think it would be real neat as an experiment to lock a TERF and an incel in a room together and see what happens. We could even sell tickets.

Legal protection against domestic violence has become widespread

"This chart shows the share of the global population living in countries that criminally sanction domestic violence or provide protection against it. The data comes from the World Bank’s Women, Business and the Law project.

Throughout the decades, the legislation on domestic violence has increased markedly. Until the 1990s, less than 1% of the global population in countries was legally protected from it, with only Canada, Sweden, and Ireland providing such safeguards. And as recently as 20 years ago, 80% of people lived in countries without legal penalties for domestic violence.

But by 2023, this had more than reversed, and 9 in 10 people lived in countries with legal measures to combat domestic violence. This shift highlights an increased recognition around the world that domestic violence is common, especially against women."

Note: This really puts in perspective just how much and how quickly attitudes on domestic and gendered violence are changing. Look at that graph! Look at it!!

Thirty years ago, there was only a single country in the entire world that thought hitting your spouse should be a crime, and had acted on that. (It was Ireland, go Ireland.) That is a world of difference from where we are now.

[Image Description: A picture of two human people, one of european ethnicity and the other of african ethnicity drawn like in microsoft paint. the person of european ethnicity has straight dark hair and is wearing a purple shirt and beige pants with brown shoes. the person of african ethnicity has curly dark hair and is dressed in a prison orange jumpsuit and they have handcuffs on. The european ethnicity person has their hands up and a speech bubble without the bubble part says "We must protect female prisoners" in all capitals and with exclamation points at the end. The imprisoned person coded to be a cis woman also has a speech bubble without the bubble, just the pointy part. She says "yeah! guards and staff get away with a ton of abuse, we get fed shit labeled 'not for human consumption', we-"

Then the next panel only depicts the european ethnicity person in purple, having interrupted the incarcerated person. In all capitals they say "Idk what that means I'm just mad that trans people exist."]

Last I heard on supporting the strike, the unions are asking for ally's to maintain subscription services. To unsubscribe to services would be to cut the already slim royalties they are receiving that will help them wait out their slave drivers. Instead, keep consuming media in solidarity to 1) pay the actors more pennies, 2) show how much demand there is for these artists.

In December, 2020, in the depths of pandemic winter, the actress Kimiko Glenn got a foreign-royalty statement in the mail from the screen actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA. Glenn is best known for playing the motormouthed, idealistic inmate Brook Soso on the women’s-prison series “Orange Is the New Black,” which ran from 2013 to 2019, on Netflix. The orchid-pink paper listed episodes of the show that she’d appeared on (“A Whole Other Hole,” “Trust No Bitch”) alongside tiny amounts of income (four cents, two cents) culled from overseas levies—a thin slice of pie from the show that had thrust her to prominence. “I was, like, Oh, my God, it’s just so sad,” Glenn recalled. With many television and movie sets shuttered, she was supporting herself with voice-over jobs, and she’d been messing around with TikTok. She posted a video in which she scans the statement—“I’m about to be so riiich!”—then reaches the grand total of $27.30 and shrieks, “WHAT?”

The post got more than four hundred thousand likes and nearly two thousand comments, many from disbelieving fans: “Wait how is that even legal??” “how is this even real you were on one of the biggest netflix shows.” This past May, with screenwriters on strike and labor unrest sweeping Hollywood, Glenn reposted the video on Instagram, where she has almost a million followers. This time, not only fans but castmates weighed in. Matt McGorry, who played a corrections officer: “Exaccctttlllyyy. I kept my day job the entire time I was on the show because it paid better than the mega-hit TV show we were on.” Beth Dover, who played a manager at the company taking over the prison: “It actually COST me money to be in season 3 and 4 since I was cast local hire and had to fly myself out, etc. But I was so excited for the opportunity to be on a show I loved so I took the hit. Its maddening.”

Television actors have traditionally had a base of income from residuals, which come from reruns and other forms of reuse of the shows in which they’ve appeared. At the highest end, residuals can yield a fortune; reportedly, the cast of “Friends” has each made tens of millions of dollars from syndication. But streaming has scrambled that model, endangering the ability of working actors to make a living. “So many of my friends who have nearly a million followers, who are doing billion-dollar franchises, don’t know how to make rent.”

Despite the Beatlemania-like fame, many cast members had to keep their day jobs for multiple seasons. They were waiting tables, bartending. DeLaria continued doing live gigs to keep up with her rent. Diane Guerrero, who played the fashionable inmate Maritza Ramos, worked at a bar, where patrons would recognize her.

These are just some highlights, but the entire article is worth a read, especially if someone you know is (or you are) so deep into watching celebrity culture that you’re having a hard time understanding why actors could possibly want more than they’re getting now.

Why do trans identified males need to be in women’s prisons? Self identification aside, if a male is unsafe around other males, why wouldn’t females also be unsafe around males?

Why do you think males fluctuate between being being a genuine threat and completely harmless depending on who is raising the concern?

In other words, why are males are a genuine threat when trans women complain about being put in men’s prisons, but completely harmless when cis women complain about having trans women in their prisons?

I don't believe in prisons, and I don't believe in any gender segregation. This is like asking weather or not a certain group should be in a whites only slave plantation for me. The entire system is fucked.

Women's spaces should not exist, anywhere. That is a requirement for trans rights.

Prisons should not exist, anywhere. That is a requirement for human rights.
