Reply to comment by code_archeologist in Isla Bryson: Transgender rapist jailed for eight years by PEVEI

> being a transwoman in a women’s prison is no easier than going to a men’s prison

That is just objectively not accurate.

It would be much easier to be a biological male in a woman’s prison because the % of your fellow prisoners who represented a potential threat would be much smaller.

Physical mass is a huge component in the use of violence & one which is difficult to overcome without weapons or substantial training.

> not strategically important

Yes and no. Bakhmut isn't some big transportation hub, but on the other hand if your goal is to capture the Donbas you can't do so without capturing Bakhmut and the cities that Bakhmut is shielding like Kramatorsk and Slovyansk. So long as Bakhmut holds the cities behind are spared from the suffering the same fate.
