That obviously puts trans asylum seekers at risk of violence.
If they break the law. So Transgender criminals. We don't see yet people being put in jail for being transgender. If that is happening then yes we can revisit the question but it is not happening.
So harming criminals is okay, got it. Shall we reinstate the age-old tradition of cutting off thieves' hands? And you haven't even addressed the difference between being charged with a crime and being convicted, both of which can land you in jail.
Jail vs Prison.
That's correct. You were the one talking about criminals in jail, which would be reserved for minor crimes/sentences or people awaiting trial (not that that precludes violence from other inmates). So which are you talking about?
(That was my first post on the thread. I was just making sure there was the clarification of the two locations and the innocent people would be in jail, where prison are for those convicted.)
Sorry, sorry. I didn't read the username, but I still think the content of the post is worthwhile, if not the emotional tone, so I'll leave it there.
