Prison Systems Suck - Tumblr Posts

4 years ago

I really don’t want to read whatever transphobic stuff JKR is writing ever (better for my own sanity), but I stumbled across one of her convos with Maya Forstater and that tweet about woman loosing safety in prisons if ftm trans people are allowed in female prisons. And I think we can all get that she probably meant that awful rapist Karen White.

And you know what? No known rapist should be imprisoned with possible victims. White had a long history of criminal offences, including the rape of a pregnant woman and the reason for sentencing was the stabbing of a 66-year old, not even commenting the offences against children. It doesn’t matter if White is trans. The only thing that matters is that they decided to let a known rapist be close with possible (and sadly in the end actual) victims. If a cis rapist would have been locked up with possibel victims it would have been awful aswell. I know there are people out there who claim that White might not actually be trans and that might be the case, considering the long list of physical abuse they had done on others, considering they are a horrible predator who actually has seeked out vunerable women and children before, but trans or not should not be the issue here.

And I know I am repeating myself, but: The issue is that they locked a rapist up with their victims and that should never happen. No matter what prison no matter what gender, just don’t lock rapist up with possible victims.
