Although advocates and inmates say the transfers have been received well, several claim that misinformation spread by prison staffers is stirring up transphobia and that more must be done to educate inmates.

And the poor women are being told they need to be educated out of their fears.

No they shouldn't. These are men, they offend like men , they have superior strength like men. They'll rape like men.

I wonder just how bad it will have to get before the staff crack. It's going to make their lives way harder too. Women's prisons are not set up to cope with male violence

When they said "transfer was received well" and meant only well for transgenders, but women weren't even asked.

Like in that article about 200 girls dropping sports and coming at meeting against twaw in sports - because boy comes there, says he is tw and showers with them. Interview there was taken only from boy and his mother, but never from girls or their psrents.

It was later in this this situation:

Most news articles stood on a boy's defense and interviewed only him.

Some girls stopped doing sports afterwards, I don't know if all. It was 6 years ago.
