There are currently six trans people incarcerated in Quebec provincial prisons. Six. That’s 0.1 percent of the incarcerated population. There’s no data indicating how many of those people have or haven’t had bottom surgery, mind you. Regardless, it’s clear that we’re talking about a tiny fraction of people. This is a tactic from the anti-trans playbook that we’ve seen used over and over: taking an issue that affects a minuscule segment of the population, blowing it out of proportion and using it to roll back human rights protections.

Trust a politician to do dumb shit like this. Someone is gonna get killed and Bonnardel will shed crocodile tears over it.

That’s not just an anti-trans playbook. That’s THE playbook used by many politicians around the world today to garner support while breaking their political opponents’: pick on small issues that target some minority groups, talk about them as if they’re rampant, just so that they can get enough of a majority behind them so that they can push their own agenda.

Men rape men and women rape women in prison

Maybe there is a better solution than gendered incarceration
