Statistically, 58% of trans women that are placed in male units will be raped.

Here’s the call to action as to not violate rule 3:

“If you have anybody on the inside, make sure they and their attorneys have copies of all their legal paperwork. You can also spread news of this (but make sure to focus on facts and fighting rumors. I will always do my best to post updates that come directly from the inside either from Kara herself or from counsel.)”

The title and call to action are from the video description, there is more information about this there.

    I’m sorry if this is a really stupid question (I am not American/don’t live in the USA), but… aside from the fact that some people might not “pass” particularly well, what evidence does the state have that a prisoner is or is not trans? Is the system so well-coordinated that they can and do easily search every prisoner for past name/gender changes? (Assuming the person in question had already updated their documents.)

      All trans prisoners at the federal (not state) level were already kept in a single prison where the medical staff had specialized training in the medical needs of trans people. Unfortunately, that single prison is in Texas, a state that is eager to tow the Republican party line.

      They have access to birth records and if you’re pre-op there’s obvious physiological signs. In most states name changes are documented as well.
