The two singers called for protection of transwomen prisoners in Georgia men's prisons according to this article in the Guardian (where else?). Two prisoners claim they were raped and abused by the system.

Nice they take this stand...

How about more general protection?

That said, trans women do face more risks in prisons than many other groups (with the possible exception of crooked cops).

Thanks for bringing the article to our notice.
