The Department of Justice has instructed inspectors to stop evaluating prisons and jails using standards designed to protect transgender, intersex and gender-nonconforming people from sexual violence, according to an internal memo obtained by NPR.
This population is uniquely vulnerable to attacks while incarcerated, data shows, and advocates say the change will put such people in even more danger.

This is absolutely bullshit, how did we let America become so hateful. At this point, I’m embarrassed to be American.

Instead of complaining that people didn’t vote your preferred choice, why don’t you actually go and do something about this regime?

Showing up at your local school board or city council meeting and making your voice heard, running for local office, canvassing and campaigning for candidates that share your values, being part of awareness and lobbying campaigns, all of these things? None of them approach the dopamine hit you get from being snarkily superior on the internet. I don't make the rules.
