A federal appellate court ruled last week that Oregon may house trans women inmates in men’s prisons, overturning a lower court’s ruling earlier this year.

The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals consisted exclusively of Donald Trump appointees. They voted unanimously to overturn an April ruling from U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke ordering the Oregon Department of Corrections to assume that trans women prisoners should be housed in women’s prisons, and then assess individual cases to confirm that placement, not the other way around.

        In Spanish it’s called “cambio de sexo”. What’s the correct translation? Google says it’s “sex change”.

          Unsure, honestly. Gender and sex are distinct concepts in English. “Sex change” refers to the physical surgery.

            In documents (like in a passport) the field is called ‘Sex’ so when someone is changing it they are still “changing sex”, right? That’s what I would think, no idea thought.

      Just wanted to say something more about the report. So Zizzy reported me for “Pure blatant transphobia and misinformatio[n]”. My comment contains 3 facts. All are verifiably true:

      There were multiple cases of each.

      Now for some other facts:

      • Abusers avoid jail because the cases are handled by special Courts for Violence against Women. When the accused changes sex this court can no longer handle the case and no conviction can be handed out. This courts are a leftists policy supported by feminists

      • Positions reserved for women in public jobs like firefighters or police and lower physical requirements for women are also a leftist policy supported by feminists

      • The Ley Trans is a leftists policy supported by LGBT organizations

      So, according to Zizzy:

      Leftist policy + leftist policy + leftist policy = transphobia

      Let that sink in everyone. The reality created by leftists government in Spain went so far left that it went full circle and became transphobic. It’s so crazy that talking about it is misinformation.

      Funny world we live in…

      Edit: and now my comment was removed by mod. Because facts like that need to be censored, apparently.

      Rule 1. Reporting facts is not civil.
