    It’s also completely insane to compare a drug dealing offense to literal fucking treason, the thing we hang people over.

    You keep saying people can’t compare things, yet I’m not. The fact of the matter is the rules apply to everyone. It doesn’t matter what your offense is, it will get the same rule applied. If we make a rule that your prison is determined by your gender at birth, that’s the rule. It doesn’t matter if you commit treason, kill millions of people, or jaywalk. They don’t say the rule should be different based on offense. It’s just the rule. If you think this person should be in a male prison because they committed treason, you’re condemning all trans people to the same fate.

      I am not condemning trans people. I am condemning treasoners. When you commit a crime you should be put in a prison according to your gender identity. That is completely reasonable. When you commit treason and should have been dead last week, I don’t really care where you end up. It should be 6 feet under with some flowers on top of you. Anything more is a blessing.

      (edited to add: I myself am trans just to be clear.)

        But this woman won’t be dead. She will have to live with the callous decision by the court that, for her crimes, she deserves whatever comes, including rape. Okay fellow trans person, envison it’s 2025 and Trump is back in power and you got caught with an eighth at a BLM rally, and the courts full of sycophantic Republican judges are all signaling how extraordinarily harsh they are on crime. The shoe is now on the other foot and and a kangaroo court puts in jail for ‘assaulting an officer’ when you were using your fists to rub tear gas from your eyes while the pigs beat your arms with their sticks.

        If torture of some is alright, torture of all is alright. That simply is the reality of approving of torture as an acceptable means. I’m sorry I keep debate-broing but this mentality is really dark my friend.
