So I can’t really give your comment a free pass. Because in a way it’s guilty of the exact same “you need look like a man/woman to be one” fallacy held by transphobes.

Cuz TIL about PCOS, basically when womens’ ovaries produce hormones that among other symptoms can give some women full on facial hair / beards. Saw a creator/advocate and actually had to look into their profile to realize they weren’t mtf.

…

Also kinda weird that we’re defaulting to a binary system after spending years advocating that gender affirming care is individualized and between a doctor and patient. IMO facility placement should also be case by case.

Great example is a man committing crimes against women, who transitioned after being incarcerated, and was refused transfer to a womens facility because of their *ongoing attempts to victimize female corrections officers.

…

Quite frankly everyone demanding gender accurate prisons has lost the plot anyways cuz prisons are a tool of oppression in a system designed to chew us up and spit us out. We should be demanding restorative justice that sidesteps the vast majority of concerns our current system creates.
