I recommend you actually listen to trans activists. Seriously listen to them. What they’re saying is absolutely crazy and deeply misogynistic but we shouldn’t expect anything different from entitled men and from women who hate themselves.

Thank you. ONE sane comment in a sea of “yeah trans rights!” nonsense. Men who “feel” like women are, as usual, entitled jackasses.

There are some very very valid reasons for not wanting men in women’s bathrooms because they “feel” like women. Men commit most of the violence against women for one. So strange how the Jezebel robot community is 100 percent for anything that erases women’s identities, autonomy, and space. Someday we will look back on…

You get solitary for breaking the rules. One of the rules is don’t try to kill yourself. I’m open to alternative punishments. What should the punishment be?

She needs to follow the rules.

Why do you and the other Jezebel bloggers ignore the daily university riots in South Africa?

Students in South Africa have rioted and burned university buildings for weeks in the hope that the destruction will get them free tuition.

Jezebel hasn’t covered it at all. Why not? Are you too stupid to find a South…

What’d be terrific would be if you all here at Jezebel were interested in having actual conversations, with people with differing opinions. “The greys” on this website are filled with people that don’t conform to your very secure hive mind mentality, and challenge your thoughts, but instead of engaging them... you…

I wonder why Jezebel is ignoring this important current news issue for progressives?

Jezebel’s enlightened “journalists” will censor this news from South Africa! Just you wait and see!

JEZEBEL CENSORS NEWS FROM SOUTH AFRICA! WHY??? Surely Jezebel’s enlightened, supposedly informed “journalists” are aware of what is going on in South Africa, right? I mean, there’s no way that Jezebel’s bloggers would be that stupid and naive, right?

Do these idiots not know what solitary means? Enough about Chelsea Manning.

Here’s the issue in a nutshell:

Since Manning is being given hormones anyways, wouldn’t all of this be resolved by sending her to a women’s military prison?

Women wear their hair short too. Reading the accompanying article it seems that being able to wear her hair long is the gist of her complaint but you can wear your hair short and still be a woman. I have little sympathy for her. I find her criminal actions reprehensible. Prison sucks. There are rules. The rules are…

She's a traitor to the country. What fucking sympathy should we have for her.

So all prisoners at Levenworth have the same standard. If she were allowed to grow her hair, she’d be only one in the prison who had special privileges.

At Levenworth? Everyone has the same hair cut requirements.

Yup. His demands make it sound like being a woman is about feminine gender displays. Being a woman is not about dresses or hair. At least, it didn't used to be.

So, how much of gender dysphoria has to be addressed with physical changes, and how much can be done with mental conditioning/treatment? Because I think she can work on accepting that women can have short hair. The hair thing sounds more like a pissing match than a medically necessary treatment, quite frankly.

Such a policy would be unfair to women prisoners
