    I mean, maybe someone could abuse it but I would rather that then deny someone the right to own their identity.

    I hope I didn’t come off as trying to label you as anything, merely engaging in thoughtful discussion.

      Then may as well just remove segregated prisons, because it makes zero sense to trust prisoners to not game an easily gamed system. You’re insanely naive if you think that they won’t.

        There are a lot of things wrong with prison, starting with throwing people who don’t behave into a cage and treating them like animals and ending with taking people who clearly weren’t socialized properly and doing nothing to socialize them. And frankly, learning how to deal with the opposite sex appropriately is a key part of socialization. If prisoner rehabilitation was taken seriously, at least partially desegregated prisons would make a lot of sense.
