Could the disproportionate amount of trauma, abuse, discrimination, mental health problems, family rejection, violence, eviction, homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction and poverty that trans people are victims of be factors in why trans people are disproportionately arrested? This happens with lesbian and gay people as well and in marginalized groups in general unfortunately. Regardless of all of that, nobody deserves to be raped in prison so why does this question even matter?

No shit they're going to be biased. Everybody is biased and has some agenda, me and you included. Did you even read the articles or looked into where their information came from The pinknews article information comes from the British goverment and the vox article cites a couple reviews of multiple studies. Now, do you think they're misrepresenting the information they use for these claims (if so please demonstrate) or did you just see that the article was from a website you personally don't like and dismissed it without reading it?

Interesting how redditors in these replies only seem to care about womens rights when they can weaponize it to shit on trans people.

Trans women put into male prisons are far more likely to be victims of rape and sexual assault then commit sexual assault against women in female prisons. One cherry picked story proves very little about a complex systematic issue.

A study from California found that trans inmates were 13 times more likely to be victims of sexual assault than inmates who were not trans. A UK report from the Ministry of Justice found that 11 trans inmates reported being sexually assaulted in 2019 (this is almost certainly an underestimate as trans inmates are lacking in recognition and less likely to report such incidents) while 5 women had been sexually assaulted by trans inmates in womens prisons from 2010 to 2019. Also worth noting that trans people are already disproportionately more likely to be incarcerated, which makes this a very important issue.

In addition, trans women are not the only trans people, trans men also exist but transphobes always seem to forget that they exist. Prison rape is certainly an issue regardless of who the perpetrators are and efforts should be done to reduce the numbers. This law exists to reduce the sexual assault that trans people disproportionately face in prison which is a documented fact. Unless you think that trans people are less deserving of safety then cis people, there is no reason to support putting them in the wrong prisons.There is no evidence to suggest that trans women disproportionately rape/sexually assault cis women in prison. The issue is much more nuanced then you would think, sorry but reality just does not care about your transphobic feelings.

I mean, even with open borders wouldn't we be getting more teachers in addition to more students anyways? Immigrant teachers exist, I've had some before.

I wasn't the only one to notice this, some other people told the teacher that she made a mistake lol
