And not all of them are being held in gender appropriate prisons already. As we're going to talk about with our guest in a bit, prisoners have to go through an incredible amount of dehumanization in order to have a chance of being placed in the right facility.

It should. It's terrifying. It's worse than what you might imagine. One trans woman prisoner who's using a pseudonym for her lawsuit, going by Maria Mo, has already filed a lawsuit in federal court to stop this new regulation. She is challenging it on both procedural and constitutional grounds.

And that's the state's own reporting on the issue. But you know who doesn't know how to effortlessly transition to ads after saying something as serious as that? It's me. I don't know how to effortlessly transition to ads after giving you a statistic like that.

When we come back, we're going to talk about how serious the situation is, but also provide just an absolute incredible number of things that you can do at various levels of risk to support the people whose lives are about to be ruined by this policy change. Okay, and we're back. So,
