Assuming that prisons should be segregated by something like sex is shunting the problem off on women.
Even assuming your binary exists — it doesn’t — a heterosexual cisgender woman is, obviously, under no additional risk being housed with a heterosexual transgender woman… it’s not the genitals that are the problem, it’s whom do you intend to deploy those genitals on.
That laugh aside, I’m not sure you made your point; once more, the heterosexual cisgender woman is in less danger from a heterosexual transgender woman than she is from another otherwise cisgender woman who will aggressively pursue any port in a storm.
That's plainly false. Incarcerated women have already been raped, beaten, and impregnated by men in women's prisons. Men, including transgender women, are bigger and stronger than women and will use that to their advantage.
A heterosexual transgender woman intends to deploy those genitals on women. That makes it a problem for uninvolved women that shouldn't have to worry about men in women's spaces.
If you want to argue for not segregating prisons by sex, then you should just state that. If that ever happens you'll quickly find out how terrible of an idea it is.
Trans women are men that suffer from an unfortunate condition. We need to accept this. Trying to gaslight people into denying basic reality created a backlash that was partially responsible for giving us Trump.
I am not a man. I am a trans woman. I don't suffer from an unfortunate condition, unless that condition is ignorant people like yourself who cannot handle the complexity of how people can be different.
Blaming us for the backlash is the same abusive thinking as "i wouldn't hit you if you'd just do what i want." Trans people are just the easiest target. If it wasn't us, it'd have been someone else.
Sorry, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. Trans women are a subset of men. Taking cross-sex hormones and getting surgery won't actually change your sex. It's the best we can do for now until we figure out how to fix the brain-body mismatch.
Denying simple biological reality will get us more fascism. It's not the entire reason, but it's easy to whip people up about trans issues when you literally have men beating up women in sports. Your average person will never accept that, and that's something you just need to accept because you can't change it.
Note that I said "partially responsible". The fundamental reason is that the DNC doesn't give a shit about the working class and rejects actual leftist ideals, but trying to push unpopular social issues on top of that just killed their chances.
Some day, we'll arrive at a happy medium of "trans women are not women but that's fine and let them live their lives in peace".
