When one little panda tries to overthrow the government after losing a democratic election, that makes me a sad panda

For a start it isn't going deeper into the soil and into the creeks nearby.

You can't scream "DO SOMETHING!" then complain when something is actually getting done.

> That would just mean that they would take a loss of profits for 1-2 years.

5 billion isn't even a year of profit. They're spending more than that on stock buybacks and shareholder dividends this year.

TL;DR: Isla Bryson began transition after being arrested. There is a belief/fear among authorities that this person is attempting to enter into the women's prison system because they believe that it will be an easier term and so that they can victimize the women there.

In my own opinion they should go ahead and be incarcerated as a woman... as long as they continue the transition process. Because they will quickly discover that being a transwoman in a women's prison is no easier than going to a men's prison; and attempting to victimize the women there would be a fatal error.

I did read the article. This person seems to be doing this on purpose to test these very systems, so the system will have to adapt, as it always has. I'm not saying that it will be a good or bad outcome, just that there's an adaptation here that isn't unique to this circumstance. We've already seen it and will continue to see it, so it's time to adapt.

I don't know the perfect solution, but I do know that trans here is being used in a lot of ways by a lot of people and if the solution is to make more sections for more genders, then so be it. If there are more than 2 genders in society, then there are more than 2 genders in prison, so it's time to re-imagine imprisonment in a non-binary world.

Or, they get jailed alone. Does that mean more predators will say they're trans once convicted? Maybe, but at a certain point these institutions are going to have to learn to deal with these nuances. Maybe they have some non-violent offenders it's time to let out to make room for people trying to use gender issues to get an easier prison sentence.

Because he created everything and everyone and loves us... or something like that. Faith isn't faith when you've got a proverbial gun pointed at your head.

Leave the small business owners alone already!

Do they not control the witness protection program or is that just a wrong info?

Ohio voted for the Republicans that re-regulated and refused Federal aid. It's Ohio's and any other Red voters.

Texas is ok; they're red, too.

Probably going to an even-more-red state that allows them to just dump it wherever they want. Free market fixes itself! /s

And if all of the pieces were labelled "Ikeya", then it would be pretty obvious that it's not IKEA.

There is no way that 3 months of limited spread in a small area would cause 10 times as much variance as 2 years of borderline uncontrolled spread over a large portion of the world.
