This doesn’t change anything but aren’t cis men also raped in men prisons?
IIRC there are massive differences in the probability and volume when it is a trans woman. Arguably this is due to the different secondary sex features between trans women and cis men. Long story short, if you a trans woman, then rape is almost certain, relentless, and possibly lethal.

Ok, that’s frightening and makes sadly alot of sense. Thanks for the additional context!

I can only imagine, I have only had sex with one man and he is wonderful but we both have to have patience easing into it and it’s only been almost a year post op.

Why is prison rape of trans people the thing we care about not prison rape of everyone?

In America nobody cares about either thing actually.

Thats fair. I have pointed out that if you include prison men get raped more, and people dont typically care.

Yeah if you have 10000 of one group of people and 10 of another, the bigger group is going to have more stuff going on.

We do. It’s just that trans women in prison are disproportionate rape targets.
And
we want equality, so either rape more men, or rape more trans men in women prisonsit’s only trying to highlight that the transphobia is not about protecting anyone, but discriminating. The context being set by conservative media on a daily basis spewing the idea of a caricature transvestite posing a danger to women. In case you have missed that. It was well known that men pose a deadly danger to trans women long before the right decided to demagogue on this issue. See below for my quote of Rowling’s who actually cheers trans women being raped to death in male prisons. I hope you now see the relevance.

The LGBTQIA+ agenda exists and is the same as it always was:
We would like it very much if you could stop killing us because you’re suppressing your own personality

The second part of the lgbtqia+ agenda is that we have brunch on Tuesdays and you get a free starter if you remember your membership card
