God I fucking hate US prisons. This is the thing about my country I am the most ashamed of.
This is gonna happen again, to right-wing jan 6 insurrectionist Jessica Watkins. A trans woman who is likely to be put into a male prison for 8 years.
That's exactly what she voted and insurrected for, right? A trans republican getting the taste of their anti-trans party's own medicine.
Yes, and there's an irony to it. That doesn't change that it's cruel and absolutely not something that should be happening even to the worst people out there, regardless of how much we hate them or if it's exactly what they were pushing to make even worse.
