Sounds pretty shitty but I’ll save my sympathy for prisoners that didn’t rob and murder people
Nah fuck this dickhead. How anyone can read the prattle of this guy and not be sickened by the hypocrisy is beyond me.
My principle is to support and empower marginalized inmates at all costs so none will be victims of genocide and none will become extinct.
Said the bloke, who went on a robbing spree and murdered two people. Murdering one man unnecessarily (even his accomplice thought this) and then failing to kill another; leaving him permanently blind in both eyes. Bet he was super concerned about their rights before it impacted his life right?
Fuck his opinion on anything. He may be right that prisoner deserve basic rights and not to be abused in prison but I have zero interest in hearing about it from a murder, especially one so utterly tone deaf to write like that.
Edited to fix pronoun misinterpretation.
That’s an… interesting… presumption. I was just wondering what inspired you to come to such a conclusion. Was it from direct evidence or from something else?
The nonviolent kind. People who made dumb mistakes breaking bullshit laws. It’s not something I pay much attention to so I don’t have a list to rattle off, but they certainly exist.

Part of the problem with this stance is that the US has a knack for also locking up innocent people.
Take this, for instance, where they coerced a confession, locked up a Dad for 8 months, and the actual perp left a pair of shoes with his name written in them at the fucking scene:
Except… wide swaths of feminism still hate him for what he/she is. Because instead of being just a man, he/she is now a man refusing to adhere to the imposed rules of what women expect a man to be. So he/she is hated by them twice as virulently.
It’s why the term TERF - trans-exclusionary radical feminism - exists. Scratch the thin veneer of most feminists hard enough, and this can be found underneath in some capacity.
I really hope he/she has a strong support network in their friends and family members. They are going to need it.
He. Not he/she. He
Also as someone who knows a huge number of feminists that are militantly anti-terf, it’s categorically untrue that strict, trans exclusionary interpretations of who counts as a woman are in any way an intrinsic aspect of feminism
You’re right though, he will need a strong support system, and I also hope there are folks in his corner
Hope you are well
That guy has the world against him and he still stands up for a minority he isn’t part of. The world needs more people like him.
Yeah as much as I dislike the individual mentioned the news article has an overwhelming Texas flavour to it. I can almost bet the writer or officers statement to the writer lead to the “pair of lesbians” assumption.
Go ask the young daughter of the man he murdered or the person who’ll never see again because of him if they agree.
How can you be a man yet be a feminist?
I’m a man… and a feminist.
It takes it to a whole new level when you say something like that to a trans man. It take the whole phobia of equality and imbues it with transphobia.
Feminism is a spectrum of beliefs. Look at J.K. Rowling - the F in TERF stands for Feminist. There are plenty of feminists I disagree with.
But I just don’t believe Xandan’s claims of activism. Murdering two people, permanently injuring another, and injuring a fourth doesn’t imply much care for your fellow humans. Xandan comes off as self-centered, only out for himself.
A trans man would be far safer in a womens prison. He would get violently raped in a mens prison.
