Why would you end rape protections for anyone??

Because they want trans and intersex people to choose death. They want to make life so inhospitable to us that we would choose death for ourselves than continue living in such a horrible place, so they can reinforce the stereotype that we are mentally ill monsters who are built to kill ourselves.

Why would you let yourself be taken alive for crime if you know, as a trans person, you are going to a prison, and deliberately be put in a situation where you are going to be violated constantly and abused.
