This whole thread is :chefs-kiss:
Probably the most common talking point about trans women prisoners is how they will r*pe cis women prisoners, and now they can't get mad about that so instead they're just up in arms over the fact that a judge ordered the Bureau of Prisons to cover this medically necessary surgery.
Like you can hear the whooshing go in one ear and out the other as they :frothingfash: because not only is a criminal getting healthcare on their dime, but a trans criminal.
The combination of the two issues just totally broke their brains because in the former case they hate trans women by pretending to give a shit about taking care of criminal cis women, and since that requirement is technically satisfied, they hate that a criminal woman is:
being taken care of
Mmmmmmm the tears or so delicious yum yum yummy
Unfortunately yes, the right knows it's fully lost the culture war on homosexuality and has latched on to trans folks as the next issue that it feels can rile up bigoted feelings in a large portion of western populations.
Fortunately similar to gay rights it seems we can expect subsequent generations to be more and more accepting (that is not an invitation to be libs and do nothing to help because we expect things to magically improve over time)
