The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

It’s the modus operandi for all totalitarian regimes. Find a tiny minority and present them as scapegoats and galvanization nucleus for hate, displeasure and frustration. Tell the majority this minority is evil, must be removed and everything will be good. Repeatedly.
You are so right. Infuriating that press won’t pushback or challenge Trump and GOP on this scapegoating: Why are you so focused on 1% of the population, sir?? Posing the question, at least, highlights the absurdity to the public.
Not really. Hitlers book Mein Kampf (1925) already was full of jew hatred. The Nuremberg race laws were specifically aimed at jews. All this predates the Shoah. That gays/disabled/slavs/roma and others were deemed not worthy to exist too is true, but the main target were jews.
Yes, they were the MAIN target, but I thought that first it was political prisoners then the for mentioned and yes hard core the Jews. Just trying to shine light on the parallels now. Trans now, disabled (SSDI, DOE) funding gone. Women’s rights, etc
They imprisoned and outlawed unions, unionists; social democrats, socialists, communists and their parties, and anyone even slightly opposing them politically almost immediately after seizing power. That’s true.
The thing about the "others" is that it's ever expanding. Otherwise, the majority start wondering why things didn't magically improve once the others were systematically eradicated. Hence the oft-repeated "First they came... And I said nothing..."
This is cruel and unusual punishment and they know it. We already have the data of what happens to trans women in male prisons. The same thing that would happen to any woman dropped into a pool of male criminals (and equally criminal COs). That’s why the law was changed.
There is no devil. Just evil humans and the evil humans who enable evil humans or do nothing to stop the evil humans. We can still stop this if we get LOUD.
Trans women in a men’s prison are going to be assaulted and raped. Repeatedly, perhaps until their death. This violates the constitution. It is also morally wrong- it is evil. This is evil.
I hope--and I realize hope is doing far too much heavy lifting here--that inmates will recognize they're being used for state-sanctioned violence and will realize who the real enemy is. But i doubt this will be the case.
I hope the inmates embrace each other and prove that incarcerated people have humanity and more compassion than the good ole God lovin' Christian Nationalist. Welcome new inmates with love!
Bitch ass mother fucker. Your wife left you because you suck. And now you're making that everyone else's problem. You hurt others because of your own insecurities and that's apparent. Go to therapy and leave trans people alone.
Trump's MAGA supporters want to punish Transgender People for being different. Trump's administration is pandering to the MAGA base's hate so that the base keeps supporting Trump while he continues to grab power and dismantle the government.
When I worked for AZ DoC, we had a hermaphrodite that presented female on the mens yard. She was routinely sexually assaulted and beaten up on a near daily basis. I hated this for her...I can't imagine what it will be like for the trans populations.
Very respectfully, if it isn’t widely known, 2 Spirit is strictly for indigenous peoples. Intersex or trans is most likely to apply, unless it’s someone from an indigenous community. Thanks for your willingness to learn!
Being trans means you voted for... green party or something? What world do you live in? You just want to shovel lye on my body. You think they'll spare my kid? He's 6
Kamala was famously against prisons that's what she's known for. American prisons are inhumane, this is a symptom of that. I'd explain prison abolition to you but you're drooling too much goo goo ga ga
Yeah, somehow I think some who is big on imprisoning people that actually break the law is slightly different than someone who wants to jail people for simply existing. Might just be me, though
I'm sorry asking an elected official to not commit genocide was too hard? Shh, if anything blame her for alienating so much of her voter base in favor of committing violence and murdering children.
How's that "anti-genocide" vote working out? I'm sure the Palestinians that will either be killed or expelled from their homeland appreciate you allowing trans, gay and disabled people to lose their rights here 🫡
Hi, I'm a trans, gay, disabled people.
Again, shhh-
People are not caring too much about genocide, and politicians have to earn votes actually. Simply not being Trump doesn't actually inspire much hope in people.
This is petty. Her losing is nobody’s fault but her own, and her party’s.
It’s certainly not the fault of the prisoners that will now be raped daily because of her Republican-lite campaigning strategies. Strategies which I should mention also refer to these women as ‘biological men.’
It was on the voters base to choose her. I personally think she's damaged goods at this point and should never run again, but I'll comfortably "both sides" this. People who didn't vote are the reason the Democrats aren't in power at the end of the day
She campaigned directly on finishing the wall, and tacitly on keeping ‘biological men’ out of women’s spaces. There is nobody to blame but her, and her party, for not pushing back on this. They still don’t! Not a single fucking Democrat congressman has said a word about this persecution.
The ongoing backslide of trans rights is squarely the fault of democrats for failing to defend trans people adequately. Republicans controlled the narrative around us, and now they control the country.
Even by your own pathetic rules that isn’t true. This vile shit you spew does nothing to fight against facism. As always with liberals it’s all about YOU you’re just saying shit that makes you feel smug while the world burns and people suffer.
You should be doing what the weak ass Harris campaign didn’t do, reach out and have compassion for those whose conscience wouldn’t allow them to vote for someone openly supporting genocide, yknow to maybe try and unite to defeat the nazis, but no it’s more important you feel smug. You’re an ass
These theoretical voters, did they abstain OR vote for anyone other than Harris? There is a major difference. Abstaining is an act of conscience. The other makes that voter a hypocrit and traitor.
And to do that under an article about how trans people are going to suffer horribly is even more disgusting. You should look inward and try to better yourself for your sake and others.
No mother fucker, every single one of you who spent all your effort for the past 10 years shitting on Dems incessantly can stare the result of your actions in the face
You didn't fight to stop this, you helped enable it
Who is this helping? Trans people are in crisis and you view it as an opportunity to grind an axe. There is not going to be a do over of the election so maybe focus on the problems at hand.
That's a great call. I just hate that our community is being fed to the wolves and so many people just see it as an opportunity to be petty or want to call it a distraction.
Every sane person has a right to shit on the people who couldn't see the writing on the wall and decided their pet issue was more important than the holistically bad Republicans talking over. If you didn't vote democrat, it is YOUR fault this happened and you need to be reminded of that every day
You can moan about individual voters all you want, it's the dnc's job to get their candidates elected, not ours because they waited until the last minute to drop in Harris.
Bollocks. To you and @luch0-diner0.bsky.social . ANYONE who either didn't vote, or voted for the least likely candidate to oust Trump is as bad as anyone who voted for him. You NEVER let perfect be the enemy of good.
You can moan about individual voters all you want, it's the dnc's job to get their candidates elected, not ours because they waited until the last minute to drop in Harris.
Sure, but those voters are ultimately the people who couldn't be fucked to vote, or actively sabotaged Harris by voting Green. Two things can be true at once
this is genocidal in intent, and human sex trafficking in practical terms. v coding is legalized now.
v coding is when you put a trans woman in with violent inmates so that way they can have a sex slave. it sounds crazy but how crazy is it REALLY given current events?
so glad democrats have completely caved to right wing fear-mongering and thrown trans people under the bus, but increasing sexual assault on a minority community is bipartisanship apparently
Open surveillance is needed in jails/prisons to keep inmates safe and guards honest: cameras everywhere where anyone can watch online for free. Let peaceful inmates choose their cellmate and do whatever’s consensual. End prison slavery, neglect, and rape. It’s terrorists who don’t want inmates safe.
Bureau of prisons is responsible for the welfare of the inmates. If transgender inmates get injured, the government should be held 100% responsible and face legal consequences.
V-coding is a process all but secretly supported by prisons internally. While it’s horrific, it’s honestly worth researching right now for anyone who isn’t aware of it. This is basically the US knowingly sending trans inmates to dehumanization and death. They will not prosecute their own.
I'm not saying that it's easy to get justice, but every known prison injury caused by this order needs to be pursued as much as possible.
The pic is just an example of a lawyer specializing in this field.
Of course they exist too. My thought is that it's all penis-based. If no penis at birth, OK to be with women - because we all know that that's the only organ that men can rape or harm women with! /s (DJ6T is a case in point)
Why is this a priority? Why do trans individuals threaten these narcissists so much? Weird. When will the assistance MAGA keeps touting be enacted? Elon and Trump are making $$.
The excutive order states "at conception," which means all inmates should be housed in a single sex/gender building because male sex genes and organs don't begin developing until around the 7th to 8th week of pregnancy. That is well beyond conception. So, everyone should be in one building.
The people pushing this, the people supporting it, even tangentially, the people ignoring it, the press who built the bridge to this, the press who ignores it, are all guilty and my enemy for life. The harm they wished for his here & they are to blame.
Trump now fully controls all 3 branches, military, CIA, FBI, NSA and DOGE will steal everything. Marshal law. Barron will inherit the throne. No more elections. MAGA killed democracy. We’re all under surveillance. We live in Russia. Boycott everything
I can understand you think that way. What I can't understand is that people are okay with putting them in a life threatening situation. Don't you think that it would be better if they were kept separated so their lives are not in danger.
i don't want anyone to get hurt but prisons were segregated for years
the trans movement and the extremists in the dem party have created this situation
putting males in female prisons can also injure female inmates
providing trans surgery for prisoners is also an extreme position it was rejected
Transgender men are men, transgender women are women, and prisoners are entitled to health care. Take your weird hangups and insecurities somewhere else.
I cited it: Transgender men are men and transgender women are women. You’re just a dumb little troll getting your ass handed to you. We outnumber you here and in the real world, and we’re going to win.
Providing gender-affirming care, including surgery, to prisoners was not a plank in the Democratic platform. It was the law. It was the law under Trump as well.
At least I’m glad you don’t want anyone to get hurt.
I hope you can let your hate for your fellow Americans go, relax and think about how to resolve things while getting as little people as possible hurt.
That goes for more people in this chat. Left or right. You both are being setup to hate.
i don't hate trans people. they have every right under the protection by our constitution to exist and prosper
the left created this crisis when males competed in female sports and parents were denied their rights
i work with 2 trans people and they are not being discriminated
it's a wedge issue
We should be able to do both. I'm a lifelong Dem voter & trump was never an acceptable solution. I wish Dems had taken women's concerns about this kind of thing seriously and developed solutions to address concerns of female prisoners AND vulnerable male prisoners. Instead we have chaos and cruelty.
Yes.
You’re willing to minimize the horror of genocide if it’s against a small enough minority.
I don’t think you’re likely a person who believes that - and at the same time I don’t know if you see that part of the message you are transmitting.
They’re going after trans big time. It’s horrible. That’s my message. Absolutely zero offense was meant. What else are you going to get your shorts in a knot about today?
Amazing how many people think women should be a shield for male violence. It is possible to create a solution that provides both female-only facilities and protective facilities for vulnerable incarcerated males. We should have worked on that solution instead of handing the issue to the GOP.
Another notch in the evangelical conservative agenda and another fast track to get trans folx hurt or killed. How the oligarch and his people sleep at night is beyond me.
After enduring sexual abuse, rape, and other unspeakable horrors, I fear. The whole thing is just endless abuse and flies in the face of Constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment.
Yeah, the US being a nation of scofflaws at the top isn't something that started with this regime. "We can commit war crimes and there's nothing you can do about it" was just another thing the rest of the world could point at when Americans lecture us on the "rule of law."

this is buck angel, a trans man (assigned female at birth)
as a transmasc person, I can say confidently that most trans men do look very masculine after being on T 2-5 years. indistinguishable from cis men unless stripped of clothes.
What's especially frustrating is that the person in this image is a transmisogynistic asshole who advocates the same mentality they're using to justify this atrocity.
Wwell, who can I complain to? I had no idea everyone was so scared of Trump. I thought he was supposed to be a wimp. I guess it's the Bureau of Prison administrators who are wimps. Miserable. How do e they sleep?
Never seen so many organizations bow down to a person that writes down daily toilet paper sayings instead of paying attention to laws and human rights. EOs are not laws.....

To think that mussolinimusk has a transgender child is even more sickening.
the 1% obsession is a starting point and won't be the end.
In Nazi Germany it were Jews.
Agree. Good point
Because this is how you get a prison break

Voting against the overt fascist is the lowest bar possible.
You didn't fight to stop this, you helped enable it
They have too much blood on their hands..
And there will be no one to protect them or report on what is happening.

Surely something can be done about a clear-cut case of imposing cruel and unusual punishment on a vanishingly small marginalized group.
because they worship torture, rape, and murder
you modify your secondary sex characteristics; it’s deeper than “align with gender identity”

There is no option but to revolt and Luigi all of them that allowed this to happen.
The people pushing this, the people supporting it, even tangentially, the people ignoring it, the press who built the bridge to this, the press who ignores it, are all guilty and my enemy for life. The harm they wished for his here & they are to blame.
This naked persecution needs to part of the headline.

the woke ideology is being canceled
we voted for this and Trump is keeping his promises
the trans movement and the extremists in the dem party have created this situation
putting males in female prisons can also injure female inmates
providing trans surgery for prisoners is also an extreme position it was rejected
does it only apply to global warming?
sell you bullshit somewhere else
this is our site. go back to X

liberal extremists created the mess and now Trump is dealing with it
what ever happened to the feminists?
it is a mess and there is no dem party solution to Trump
just shouting name calling and protests
America is not listening to them anymore
I miss sarcasm sometimes.
(Truly, no /s)

Are they really that committed to our suffering and death?
I support NPR and independent journalists.
This is the easiest ‘tell’ for detecting evil … policies with no logic, only cruelty.

never assume somebody knows who the person is or why they're relevant to the conversation
people who don't know he's trans would likely assume he's cis and be like
what does that have to do with anything
