Paying for inmates' medication seems fair because they can't go to work to pay for it. The cost must be negligible compared to the total costs of imprisonment.
Normal people don't care about sports or restrooms, doesn't matter who goes where. It's just some cis-Karens and trans-Karens screeching at each other. And isn't Trump banning all mentions of gender anyway, so all sports and restrooms must be unisex from now on?
Also, in the U.S., inmates are literally slaves. Because that is specified under the 14th amendment. I would say providing slaves with medical care so they don't kill themselves is literally showing the tiniest possible shred of humanity you can show. But apparently that's still too much.
Yeah, but a for-profit prison doesn't want to pay that extra cost if they can avoid it. Kinda like how in a lot of states there's a constant tug of war between Medicaid and Corrections over who is responsible for which medical treatment for which inmates. Not just for trans stuff, but for everything.
