Meanwhile, cis male guards who've been raping female inmates since the dawn are like "phew, no one's noticing what we're doing because they're too busy over there making it about trans people."

[Trans prisoners have raped female prisoners.] (https://www.bronxda.nyc.gov/downloads/pdf/pr/2022/35-2022%20ramel-blount-sentenced-rape-rikers.pdf) How many female prisoners would have to be abused before it became worth you worrying about?

The most common rapists of women in female prisons is other CIS women.
But suddenly you care about their safety when it involves a trans person. Don't weaponize victims to demonize the whole.

This is an important point. No male people should be in prisons that are for female inmates, especially wardens and guards who have power over these prisoners. There are groups devoted to advocating for female prisoners, who are an incredibly vulnerable population, who have put forth this idea repeatedly. It hasn't caught on because the general public doesn't spend much time thinking about prison populations, but maybe someday it will.
