You do know that trans people have a very rough time in prison for
being trans. They get abused and even killed. The usual approach, when
prison officials care, is to isolate them from the general population
-- which almost all means isolating them completely. That does
long-term psychological harm.

It's not really a joking matter. It's similar to telling a rape joke.
I hope you consider how bad this might make the Extropian movement
seem.
