    >Today, a fully intact criminal — rapists included — can be housed in the same facility as vulnerable women, balls and all. The first transfer, gang-related killer Fallon Aubee, formerly Jean-Paul, was moved into a women’s facility in 2017 in a move that [warmed hearts](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/fallon-aubee-transgender-inmate-1.4215594) at CBC. It only continued from there. Trans-identifying bank robber Sam “Steven” Mehlenbacher was kept in a female prison and, [according](https://torontosun.com/news/national/hunter-trans-jailbird-accused-of-sexually-assaulting-female-con) to another inmate, caused three women to require the morning-after pill; Mehlenbacher went on to receive a sexual assault charge, but it was eventually [dismissed](https://torontosun.com/news/provincial/sex-assault-charges-dismissed-against-transgender-ex-convict).

    How many times has this actually happened, and is it really something we need to devote significant effort to given the plethora of actual problems facing Canada? This culture wars bullshit is just a distraction.

    TA: the bots are *wild* on this one. Seen it go from +14 to -23 to +5 again, in the hour since I posted this.

  3. Oh this will go well, this should really be a no brainer….but not in these times. If they are concerned for these members house them separately.

    I can’t believe this actually happened in real life.

    These people actually went through with putting a person with a dick in a female prison. Really questions our federal institutions lol.

    Meh what do I know.

    No brainer. Trudeau is disgusting and this is his true “feminism” at work.

    I like to see the mixed nature of this comment, people criticizing the blatant bent to the article with others pointing out the contents of the article. Not bad.

    There is no normal in society, anymore. That’s not allowed.

  8. cr-islander on

    What? Common sense being applied to the Canadian Justice System this will never happen….

    People seem only to care about prison rape when it effects women, when it’s just men it’s played for comedy

    How is this even a discussion? Gender has become so ‘fluid’ and highly debatable now.

    We need to move from identifying ‘gender’ and go back to identifying a person’s ‘sex’, because, except in extremely rare situations, there’s no debating a person’s biological sex.

  11. I’ll say this once more for the deaf ppl in the back.

    People get raped in prison regardless of whether it’s men/women/trans only, or a mixture of any of them. This is NOT a trans issue. It is a correctional issue, writ large.

    Maybe rather than blaming a minority that makes up less than 1% the prison, maybe the better question is why the system is producing such bad outcomes and wide spread SA in the first place.

    This issue is entirely a distraction.

  13. I’m so tired of identity politics being the absolute highest priority on this continent.

     I feel like we’re one step short of our politicians putting on a top hat, grabbing a cane and shout-singing “LOOK AT MEEE IM A DISTRACTION 🎶” while furiously stuffing cash into their family charities’ accounts as the quality of living, health care system, infrastructure and housing markets continue to devolve into chaos. Absolute fuckers.

    This is actually a thing. I honestly was hoping upon hope this was a Beaverton article. How convenient for these inmates that they all seem to transition while headed to prison

    God damnit, I don’t want to advocate for trans gatekeeping but we need *some* lines to be drawn somewhere!

    Actual trans women are terrified to get into trouble with the law because they could end up in a mens prison, they should be accommodated in a women’s facility, but these fuckers are just claiming trans identity to avoid getting fucked up in a men’s prisons.

    I don’t know where we need to draw the line but I think some form of medical transition needs to be the requirement, not just claiming a trans identity.

    Also, why the fuck don’t we work on stopping rape in prison???

    Well, Jamie Sarkonak is at it again baiting Canadians into depper division with her, and her benefactors’, rhetoric. I wish she would just go away.

    It’s so obvious Pierre is avoiding the immigration problem. His lead would dwindle if simple conservative voters realized he’d love to open the floodgates even more. But no, he’ll keep talking about this BS to keep them happy
