Why are you so triggered lol? There's nothing even remotely related to trans listed on the cons platform that manic posted. Also, who are we to judge what issues are "
real" vs not for people? Politicians are mentioning these issues because there is a large enough vocal constituents that wants this addressed. I couldn't give a fuck about anything transgender related but I'm also not going to gatekeep what issues people should care about.
"
Let's put time and resources into this idea that doesn't even really exist in the real world, and if it did would make absolutely no difference to anyone whatsoever when it may or may not happen once in a 20 year span." <- Would you really say this to someone's face who could be seriously impacted by whatever current policy is in place? Again, I'm not an expert on this issue and its not my topic of interest but we should be careful not to dismiss wholesale what could be legitimate issues for people.

Evidence is emerging that in Canada, the CD100 policy change actively places women at risk, actively undermines their rights, and actively disadvantages minority women disproportionately. Sex segregation may be an historical legacy, but its continued practice is grounded in evidence about the differences between male and female offending, and in recognition that women prisoners have different needs and vulnerabilities to men and that the security risks they pose are different to those of men.
Poverty, ethnicity, and victimization are the main drivers of womenÂ’s criminality. For many women who end up in the criminal justice system, their offending takes place against a backdrop of poor pay and higher poverty (relative to men), disproportionately high rates of violent victimization, and hugely disproportionately higher rates of sexual assault. The decision to include anatomical males who identify as women in a population of female prisoners creates a new layer of vulnerability for an already vulnerable group.
