      What’s your point? Cool story, still raped two women. Don’t put violent sex offenders with the demographic they victimized. Should lesbian sex offenders be incarcerated with other women? Probably not, right?

      You’ve just made a great argument for why gendered prisons are a ridiculous notion in the first place, and why results-based decision making is more important than broad, impersonal classification-based decision making.

      And that’s before we even talk about how the overwhelming majority of prisons in general are inhumane and ineffective at reducing crime.

        I’m not making a point, I’m responding to your request: “treat trans women as women. Because that’s what they are. Name a situation where you think this would be problematic” with the Isla Bryson case.

        Initially she was treated as a woman and chucked in a female-only prison. According to you, this is 100% correct.

        I agree with your point about prisons in general not being a brilliant solution to crime, being known as universities for criminals. But that - and gendered prisons - are what we’ve got, and we aren’t going to rebuild the entire criminal justice system around the tiny number of trans criminals have a problem with this.

          I said I would show why it’s patently absurd. And I did. Absurdity comes in many forms, including systemic issues that require dramatic change
