Where do you draw the line though?
I think gender is similar to race in that they are both social constructs where the popular understanding is based on stereotypes.
Dealing with trans people in prison wouldn't be such an issue if we weren't imprisoning such a high percentage of our population, and if our prisons weren't so fucked up. I don't blame or resent trans women for trying to go to women's prison, but I would be very surprised if they just made a sweeping rule that allowed anyone to go to the prison assigned to the gender they identify as. That just wouldn't work. It seems like only the ones who look feminine would be allowed in, which is pretty much special treatment and essentially unfair as that doesn't have anything to do with the character of a person.

Neither are social constructs and trans is biological due to the varying stages of development of the brain and the genitals. Race, on the other hand, is not.Quote:

There is not a heterosexual man in the world who wouldn't declare himself a woman in order to get women's prison privilege if we were to accept this.

I bet if a transgender was in open population in a female prison that tranny would be a dominate male soon after. Change the environment and that happens. Also I've watched that prison max show and they had a gay one and all the trannys were in the male section or in a special gay area. They were not in a female prison.

That's what the social conservatives say about policies that protect the right of trans people to use restrooms and changing facilities corresponding to their proper gender, but it never happens. There is no benefit for a predator to pretend to be a woman to get into women's spaces, this is merely a fear tactic.
Any policy that would send trans people to appropriate correctional facilities would obviously screen out people who are gaming the system. Since in this case the practical onus is one and the same as the inmate's medical history, the courts would only need to check their records and, in the case of those who have been self-administering hormones, run an elementary medical exam.
Going to prison is never a "special privilege" but it's the government's responsibility to adequately provide for the health and welfare of those in its custody. Sending transgender prisoners to misgendered correctional facilities amounts to cruel and unusual punishment.
Everybody acts like this is so complicated. But it's really not.

I think the prison system has a lot bigger problems like keeping prisoners from escaping then screening which trannys would take advantage of the system.

Correct. Assign them based on chromosomes.

Nope. I've just been aware for decades that a male has XY and a female has XX.
You don't get to tell me where my "weird obsession with chromosomes" takes me... or science.
It's perfectly appropriate and accurate.
I'll give you credit for a humorous line though.

Some (genetically XY) males born with AIS have totally non-functional androgen receptors from the time of conception, and consequently look entirely female.

How someone looks isn't the issue. If they have one X and one Y, they are male.

To say that transracial is as legitimate as transgendered is to say that there is a fundamental difference between races besides melanin or pigment which simply equates to psychical appearance. To acknowledge that there is a difference in race which goes beyond culture or appearance is to give creditability to every racist narrative from the Nazis to the KKK. This women is a civil rights activist, this women fights for equality, this women sees a fundamental difference between white people and black people significant enough to lie about her background and her family and has the audacity to say that SHE is the one that stands up for equality. She is a bad person period. There is a fundamental difference between the sexes, race is just skin.
