The Trump administration appealed, arguing that treatments raised security concerns

Well, mark this date down in history. The first time a Republican has ever cared about conditions in a prison

As a trans person, I can be darker and say it’s because they want to continue the practice of v-coding.

Basically forcing trans women into pseudo marriages with very violent inmates as a pacification tool.

And yes, it is state sanctioned. It happens in both states with Democrat and Republican control. It is by definition state sanctioned sexual violence.

If you don't call people being raped "unwanted sex" then please don't call what you have the apt words for "state sanctioned sexual violence", "rape"; don't call that "pseudo marriage".

  • Sincerely,
    unmarried trans woman. Well I've been "married" plenty, just not by the state.
