Lost in translation

Part of why it isn't talked about is because of the method of detransition isn't always so black and white and it gives prisons a way to hide what they're doing. A devious and immoral slight of hand with the beurocracy.

When trans men are OFFERED to be put into the mens section, it's specifically as a threat. It's "Hey, we CAN put you with the other "men" but you know how men are....right? You KNOW how MEN ARE...right?"

There is a threat of rape and exploitation there far above what other inmates experience.

My pod mates were super chill with me being trans. Rules are different and you can't get offended easily, but it was the guards who kept touching me up, it was a guard who stabbed my hand with a pencil and gave me a scar there, and it was a guard who raped me.

So it's not just that trans men are being denied hrt and forcibly detransitioned.

It's that they are being told they have to pick between forced detransition in an environment where it will be AFAB bodied people exploiting them or they stick to their hrt and are in an environment where AMAB bodied people will be exploiting them.

These kinds of threats are big for trans people who are incarcerated. Many prisons and jails avoid it by just putting the person into lock down their entire stay (like me. My cell was 16 hand by 12 hands wide. I could walk my cell wirh 3 large steps. Sucked)

"The weight of decisions"

oh, the 12v battery is dead? great news, it can run on a fucking mobility scooter battery, dw about it!

speakers blown out? I can fix that easy, and I'll even install an iPod integration setup while I'm at it. the touchscreen doesn't always work on one side? well. that's what happens when a touchscreen from 2008 sits in the sun too long. works fine if I remember the sun shield.

and the dashboard lights don't turn on sometimes? well. I can use the buttons and knobs to enter like seven different cheat codes that might turn them on, but tbh the car still runs fine even without knowing how much gas I have or what speed I'm going. I'll just fill up often and use my phone's GPS as a speedometer until I have some downtime, and then the prius discussion forums have posts on how to solder the circuit board so it works again.

oh whoops the car won't always turn off so I have to hold down the button until it shuts down did I buy a car or did I buy a laptop? don't ask me how to deal with actual car problems; I'm too busy holding down the DISPLAY button while switching the lights on and off so I can access the secret service menu.

see this picture of the battery cooling system?

air sucked in at the top, fan (white thing) blows it over the battery, it exhausts out the bottom duct

...yeah my car doesn't have the second duct. it just fucking. doesn't have the one that leads from the fan to the battery.

it's honestly a miracle this battery is still running at all, because I've been driving it in 90F+ weather! this thing should be toast! I'm shocked that it took this long for it to show error codes about it!

(I ordered a new air duct on ebay. it's okay)

just ?? who the fuck owned this car? and what did they do with the fucking air duct?
