A federal appellate court ruled last week that Oregon may house trans women inmates in men’s prisons, overturning a lower court’s ruling earlier this year.

The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals consisted exclusively of Donald Trump appointees. They voted unanimously to overturn an April ruling from U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke ordering the Oregon Department of Corrections to assume that trans women prisoners should be housed in women’s prisons, and then assess individual cases to confirm that placement, not the other way around.

    The court, obviously.

    That’s not how the court determined its ruling. The judge even specified that

    Also, try to reason why prisons are segregated by sex in the first place. It’s the genitals that matter, not the presentation or self identification.

    You do realize bottom surgery exist right? There are also intersex people that are born with both male and female genitalia.

    In solitary

    Oh, so just do crimes against humanity because of how they were born? You didn’t answer the question. Which jail would they be sent to to serve their solitary confinement?

    where would we put intersex people who have committed a crime

    But really, you go according to your equipment. Dick&balls -> male prison.

    You might want to educate yourself about intersex conditions before developing and broadcasting your devastatingly ignorant opinions…

      If it’s solitary, it shouldn’t matter. Pick one at random. However, the solitary quip was a joke.

      You do realize bottom surgery exist right?

      Yes. No dick&balls -> female prison.

      intersex conditions

      How many intersex prisoners are there? Ideally they’d have their own special prison just for them.

        So you moved your goal post from sex to purely being concerned about genitals?

        Again, what about intersex people?

        As I originally stated gender is easier to apply within the law than sex is.

        What exactly is the basis of your argument? You do know that people can sexually abuse people regardless of their or their victims sexual anatomy.

          Don’t get too hung up on definitions. It’s practical realities that matter, namely rape. Vagina owners shouldn’t be mixed with dick&balls owners.

          Again, what about intersex people?

          I responded on that.

          You do know that people can sexually abuse people regardless of their or their victims sexual anatomy.

          That is entirely true and very sad. However, we should definitely refrain from placing dick&balls owners into vagina-special prisons.

            This whole argument started because you challenged a definition…?

            It’s practical realities that matter, namely rape.

            And an individual who presents as female is going to be much safer from sexual assault in a men’s prison? You think rape doesn’t occur in a women’s prison? This isn’t about rape for you, it’s about punishing and demeaning trans people.

            responded on that.

            No you didn’t. You said to throw them in solitary, but did not designate what prison.

            we should definitely refrain from placing dick&balls owners into vagina-special prisons.

            That’s not how the prison system is defined. That’s not your original argument. You still do not have a an answer for people who do not fit in that binary. You are an idiot.

              This isn’t about rape for you, it’s about punishing and demeaning trans people.

              That’s your assumption. I couldn’t actually care less about people deluding themselves, whether its trans or furries or whateverthefuck. Practical realities. A person originally born a woman with a functional artificial penis can rape natural women just the same as a natural man.

              No you didn’t. You said to throw them in solitary, but did not designate what prison.

              Scroll up. I edited the comment a minute before your response.

              You still do not have a an answer for people who do not fit in that binary.

              Literally scroll up.

                Not really an assumption… You just proved the point.

                Practical realities

                If it was practical you’d be able to state a coherent solution.

                person originally born a woman with a functional artificial penis can rape natural women just the same as a natural man.

                A woman without a functional penis can rape a woman as well… How does this increase or decrease the chance of rape?

                Scroll up. I edited the comment a minute before your response.

                You didn’t address the question, you asked one. You then said ideally there would be an individual prison for just intersex people?

                Why wouldn’t we just make individual prisons for every race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, or gang affiliation? Its a non answer. The intersex population makes up around a percent of the global population.

                Literally scroll up.

                Non answer. They do not have a separate prison. So which prison do they go to? It’s almost like your solutions are not practical or based on reality.

                Also, don’t expect to have people reread your shit once you edit them. Take the time to make a coherent argument the first time or respond with a new post.

                  A woman without a functional penis can rape a woman as well

                  How common is that, compared to dick&balls raping vagina?

                  They do not have a separate prison. So which prison do they go to?

                  Lacking a special intersex prison, it’d be decided on a case by case basis, I don’t know what you want of me.

                    Sexual assault is reported at higher rates in women’s prison when compared to mens.

                    it’d be decided on a case by case basis, I don’t know what you want of me.

                    By what criteria would the courts determine this on a case by case basis?

                    I’m trying to get you to realize how silly your entire premise is, and how it is neither practical nor realistic. Transphobes always believe their prejudice to be practical, but when you actually ask practical questions their beliefs fail to reflect reality.
