For the record, I'm against intact biological males being housed in women's prisons, but this line in the article distorts the reality:
"In America today, there are nearly 1,500 biological men incarcerated in federal women’s prisons."
The linked PDF contains the following sentence which does not say the same thing:
"As of October 6, 2024, there are currently 1,487 incarcerated men who identify as women in federal prisons. ...if all of these trans-identifying inmates were transferred to women’s prisons..."
Karyn, you missed my point completely. The linked article did not say the trans women were in women's prisons. They are in federal prisons and could in theory be transferred to women's prisons but are not in them today.
It was pretty shocking that 1500 men are in women's prison, but that's not the case, then? I'm glad you read the underlying document. I imagine it was an honest mistake but it should definitely be clarified.
I woke, the line you quotes was from this substack article. Read the one below it which is from the linked source. The statement in the substack article is incorrect and misleading

Editors, please do better fact checking.
So you are gripping over 13 people? Do you understand the definition of "nearly"?
13 is 0.08% of 1500. LESS THAN 1 percent.
It's surprising if you ever have a good day if something less than 1% sets you off.

“there are nearly 1,500 biological men incarcerated in federal women’s prisons." That’s what yiu wrote.
What part of federal WOMEN’S prisons don't you get?
Are you still asleep? You still haven't walked back your comment.

Read it again. That's not what it says.
