          Aah OK.

          Thought it might be a US specific issue.

          Best I could find for NSW Australia is:

          Gender and Incarceration

          NSW’s prisons are gendered, with separate facilities for men and women.

          COPP 3.8 uses a framework of “recognised transgender” people and “transgender” people. Those who have updated the gender marker on their birth certificate are “recognised” and must be treated according to identity documents. Those who have not legally affirmed their gender must still be received as their “identified gender,” but may be treated differently. For trans people with a binary or predominantly binary gender, the policy stipulates that you must be managed and supported as the “gender with which [you] identify at the time of incarceration,” even when you have been incarcerated previously with a different name or gender.

          They are an incredibly efficient way, however, in the USA, to:

          1. Have slave labour drive down wages for huge swaths of the economy.
          2. Create a disenfranchised class by fine-tuning what constitutes a felony in many states. (In 10 states a felony conviction means never voting again without a pardon. Other states have descending levels of disenfranchisement.)
          3. Put fear in the hearts of entire segments of the population as you apply your laws unevenly.

          Remember the purpose of the system is not what they say it’s for, but rather what it actually does.

    Trans people belong in good places!

    Thrones, seats of power, being worshipped at temples like the gods we once were!

      I lived in New Jersey for 25 years. The older I get and the longer I’m away, the more I miss it. Then I remember the cold winters and the hot humid summers and I don’t miss it enough to move back.

      I am trying to visit at least once a year. I actually do like New Jersey more now that I don’t live there anymore.

          True! But I am always impressed with the South Jersey to Philly area public transportation. Taking the train into Philly and getting around on the subway is better than trying to do anything similar in Southern California.

              Oh I disagree, I love California. The weather is beautiful 95% of the time. There are so many places to hike or shop or go to the beach. And the book community in San Diego county is great too.

              I just wish our public transportation was better. And it is expensive to live. But I still wouldn’t want to leave.
