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.

    “(I’m being sincere <3)”

    I appreciate this tone indicator, because I initially read your comment as if you were taking a hostile stance, and that didn’t make sense.

      Lol thank you very much!

      I’m kinda worn out at the moment and usually I’m pretty decent with words but I just couldn’t figure out how to make that sentiment not sound sarcastic in the moment. 😂

      Oh yeah, I think we’ve commented on each other a few times in the past. Good to see you again! Haha (wave)
