Put trans woman into male prison

"Why is everyone simping for her?"

I'm sure they'd use worse terminology but you get my point.

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 48 points 11 months ago

simping is better than the other shit that 30 criminals in a single cell could do

Why would you put a trans girl in a man prison ? It's like rooting for sexual violence

[–] xanu@lemmy.world 140 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's the idea. US prisons are designed around cruel and unusual punishments. sexual violence by guards is already rampant, and sexual violence in general is so ubiquitous it's literally one of the first things people think of when they think of prison. The judge that ruled she needed to go to a male prison did so intentionally and the cruelty is the point.

Honestly, the only reason this made the news is because her fellow prisoners are helping her and doing favors for her, instead of punishing her further. There wouldn't be a news article if it was just another story of violence done to a trans woman

Do not assume that rapists don't want to be liked as well, or that just because they are willing to compete for favor it means they won't take what they want if they don't get it. There are many, many people who have learned otherwise.

US prisons are torture and slave facilities. There's no effort, even ostensibly, at rehabilitation. Just the opposite: they want inmates to be reoffenders. This benefits private prisons and benefits "tough on crime" politicians, DAs and cops to prove their existence. The cruelty is the point.

Because someone photoshopped a fake article.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 22 points 11 months ago

That doesn't make the question any less relevant though, since it's something that regularly happens irl, and the answer to "why" is "the suffering is the point".

I did some thinking about which political faction would stand to gain from making up a story such as this, and now I can confidently say that I am more confused than I was before

Advertisers

Some “satire” site, probably. One without an obvious political agenda.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not everything has to be politically motivated. In fact it'd be a lot nicer if more things weren't.

[–] AngryHumanoid@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

That's just the attitude the lizard people WANT you to have.

Did they smuggle the jewellery and the pink zip top too?

[–] Anti_Weeb_Penguin@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago
