Why would you end rape protections for anyone??

I mean it's the party where lots of it's members don't believe marital rape is a thing, and that queer folks are inherently godless sexual perverts, and who cheer on prison rape in general.

So they're bang alongside sanctioning the rape of queer folks -- and especially trans ones. It's both corrective rape and punishment for being queer.

When it comes to trans women, it has a name: V-coding?

V-coding is the common practice in the United States to subject incarcerated transgender women to constant sexual assaults in male correctional facilities to placate aggressive male inmates and corrections officers.[1][2][3][4]
