    Used to work commissary in a local county jail (basically food delivery). There was a trans woman there that the county didn’t know how to deal with. She had fully transitioned, was extremely passable. The state doesn’t allow you to change your gender on your ID, so they stuck her in a men’s jail. Her first week there she was assaulted and spent 2 weeks in the infirmary, then they decided to put her in solitary confinement to keep her safe. Her choices were literally get beaten to death to go into solitary, something that’s considered literal torture in many parts of the world. She was there for petty shit, too, like possession of marijuana, iirc. Fuck transphobes, and fuck anyone advocating for women to be sent to men’s prisons.
