    No, I was just trying to bound the problem. I provided a highwater and lowwater WAG, and some examples.

    As far as the rest, well, you do you.

    I read recently that the number is just over 50%, with an *unknown/unverified* percentage of them locked up in women's prisons.

    *Apparently some states are reluctant to respond to direct requests for info.

    yes, that 50% number is what I think I’ve seen from the UK. They’ve been talking about this issue openly for a long time. In recent months, Scotland has changed course to block trans persons with male genitalia along with female identifying trans persons sex offenders and violent crime convictions from women’s prisons.

    One of the problems with this issue as one of the gender critical UK leaders pointed out is that John Q. Public doesn’t much care about people in prison. Whatever happens to them happens to them.


    neither women’s nor men’s prison is a cakewalk, but women are so very vulnerable in that prison confinement, and I find ignoring that to be subjugation of status of women. 2nd wave Women’s rights movement originally formed around domestic violence issues.

    That's where the real civil war in this and other countries is most likely, women taking back their agency and all others constantly persecuted for wrong-think striking back at their social and political oppressors.

    Men in women’s prisons whether trans or not is dangerous and ridiculous. If they still have their male equipment they don’t belong there.

    To forestall civil unrest it would be well to remove barriers to people moving to a state where they feel they fit in more.

    New Hampshire, a haven for Libertarians, recently passed a law that if you have a professional license in another state, it automatically transfers to NH.

    I keep thinking of warnings like these:

    Jeremiah 51:6-18 KJV
    Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.

    Revelation 18:4
    “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

    I would leave Babylon, Massachusetts if the housing market were not so out of whack.

    Wonder how that will work with the BAR? (state laws are specific, which is why lawyers can't just practice in all states)
