As part of a civil lawsuit settlement, the New Jersey Department of Corrections will now make it customary for prisoners who are transgender to be assigned a jail stay that's in line with their gender identity.

So if I commit a crime my punishment could be being locked up in a building of sex starved women? Time to start wearing dresses.

So NJ joins the states that put trans women with penises in with the most marginalized people in our society - women prisoners. NJHatesWomen

Will they fire officers who refuse to use preferred pronouns? Will they force female officers to pat-down fully intact men? How will they protect the vulnerable women who will be housed with these men?

how do they confirm their gender identity? what process do they need to complete to legally ID as the opposite sex?

As a reminder, trans women are usually attracted to women.

Apparently male prisoners will 'expose themselves' and engage in frequent 'sexual harrassment' and 'physical threats' to the point that you will be afraid you won't 'make it out alive' of prison. So doesn't bringing MtF transpeople into female prisons just put cis women at risk?

And when female inmates start showing up mysteriously pregnant?

Cool, now get rid of all the private prisons

People wanna act like tranagender folks are more of a danger than the guards that are already abusing prisoners. Bigots gonna bigot.

I would be interested to know if there are cases of trans men being in male prisons. They should have their identity respected, but I feel like sending a trans man to an all cis male prison is very dangerous as well

Plenty of male offenders want to stay in women's prisons for an easier time. You don't see the opposite. I'm not aware of any cases of women who identify as trans men being put in a men's prison. They would likely be raped, or have to be in permanent solitary confinement.

Women are losing: In law, in language, in sports, in written communications, transgender rights advocates are negating women’s rights: Women are losing the right to protected single-sex spaces, including public bathrooms, changing rooms, emergency shelters, and prisons.

This means more women will get raped, because they are being housed with intact males (who claim to identify as female). Most trans women keep their penis and are sexually attracted to women. But you only care about victims who identify as trans.

It'd be a lot cooler if we abolished the carcereal system instead.

So if an apple says it identifies as an orange it gets put in with the oranges? And what happens when that apple is foud playing the system?

That is good. However it leaves the question regarding how they will be treat in a woman prison? Will they be given drugs to make them eunuch so they there is no sexual acts in the woman prison between them and the other woman? There are many question the public want to know

something tells me she might have a rougher go of it in the women's prison. Glad this happening. Stay on the story . Don't bail on it when it actually starts being newsworthy.

''The settlement of this lawsuit puts in place systemic, far-reaching policy changes to recognize and respect the gender identity of people in prison,' said Tess Borden, ACLU-NJ Staff Attorney.' Thank you for protecting the oppressed and vulnerable ACLU & ACLUNJ.

Rights to criminals?

Roots of Superstructure issues... Surveillance states gone wickedly unbridled... Bad personalities aggravating lives as they're already being lived... WhatWizards CorrectionsChargesStillMatterFirst

Orange is the New Black may give story to jail contexts, like Oz did decades back. Yet the prevalence of PROFILING conditions having gotten so extraneous, some only felt 2b their appropriate selves as women... or Cher's daughter being *herself* as a male...

Good lord. It’s a sick world you people are creating.

What could possibly go wrong?

That’s going to work out really well for actual women in women’s prisons. Not.
