   A man who had two brief stints in a men’s jail in New York for two crimes in 2021 has agreed to a $160,000 settlement because he was not referred to by his preferred pronouns of “she / her” during the incarcerations and was strip searched by male officers

     @HebrideanHecate It's also so performative. If you didn't give a shit about far worse human rights violations and don't extend your concern beyond the narrow "he's not getting his unnecessary meds" when most inmates are receiving little to no medical attention (the lawsuits I worked on were all about a complete absence of medical care, one resulting in an unnecessary death) and many other horrific violations of human rights conventions (rotten food, undrinkable water, no air conditioning in brutal heat, elimination of libraries and access to families), then you are really being highly selective in who deserves what. Clearly, they don't extend their activism beyond the sacred caste.

     @HebrideanHecate And the people commenting on it: where were they when I was trying to improve prison conditions? Not only nowhere but scoffing at my attempts. Every summer, many in TX prisons die because they don't have access to potable water (they have to purchase it and the price gets jacked up in summer). There are real hardships in prison but god forbid they lobby on behalf of non-trans inmates.
