I applaud her for her bravery, but this administration will toss her into a mens prison to be r* to death. These evil fuckers will celebrate her horrific demise…
There are better ways to protest than by sacrificing the young, and naive – Did no one try to talk her out of this?
I get the sentiment, but I think it’s wrong to come at this from a standpoint of “trans women who can ‘pass’ clearly should be treated as women” – that’s not fair. We shouldn’t prioritise trans acceptance based on appearance.
Yes it’s a tough topic because many people would expect a trans person to make an attempt to physically appear as the gender they identify as, but I don’t think we should validate the ‘more successful’ ones in that effort over the others.
The point of being trans is that your biological body doesn’t match who you are. So why should we the judge their validity based on how far they can get their body to ‘pass’?
I’m sure it’s entirely valid but there’s something offputting about discussing treatment of ‘passing’ trans people as if they’re at higher risk. Maybe they are and I am being ignorant. Anyway… I agree that trans people should be treated better overall.

She’s so pretty. I fear for her in a men’s prison 😮💨
Even if she wasn’t so pretty/passing, it would still be wrong to deny her access to women’s bathrooms.
They’re not letting us piss as a precursor to killing all of us
