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 understand but I feel like most of the time when people hear the trans community is being genocided everyone thinks it’s an overreaction because they immediately think of the killing part and concentration camps that’s all I’m saying.
That’s why your down votes aren’t coming from me.
There is an association that makes sense to people, but that association isnt reflective of what genocide actually is. Its a specific example, and because that specific example isnt 1:1 it’s misunderstood.
Nuance left the party around the time folks started thinking you could carry on a conversation with 144 characters or fewer, not that it was in the limelight before then either.
I do not have a solution for the interaction between brain and mouth, or mouth and brain, sadly.
Oh yeah social media has ruined the ability of people to actually converse and have conversations and debate. Its sad.
