      nope, a mostly straight jail. they won’t put us together. specifically, trans women like me are sent to men’s prison and assigned to be the prison wives of violent inmates to pacify them and as a “reward” for good behavior. it’s called v-coding.

        That sounds worse than jail. That sounds like torture. And now a punishment for a crimeless crime…

          Yep. But America has long decided prison rape is a joke and part of being in prison.

          And when you don’t get v coded you often get solitary confinement, which is also torture.

          Which is also unconstitutional, not that anyone should expect the actual laws of this country to be enforceable on anyone other than plebes and the vulnerable.
