I was originally going to ask how many legal genders there should be, but I fail to see a compelling argument against 0.

      Is that the problem or is the problem that prisons are largely badly designed in the first place?

        No, gender mixing would obviously be a problem leading to an insane increase in sexual assaults. Couldn’t imagine being a woman in a mixed prison no matter the design. Quite unethical.

      This is a very interesting topic but it’s too complex to discuss on lemmy. Most people would not be able to understand the legal nuances and would just start lashing out. I will just leave this here for those interested.

        For anybody wondering, it’s about a male criminal that is allegedly not transsexual but claims so to be held in a female one prison.

        Interestingly there is a similar case here in Sweden.

        I too abstain from posting any judgement in a complex issue that goes beyond quick opinions based on headlines.
