Protesters call for trans woman Zoe Watts be held in female prison
Briefly

"Zoe's treatment as an incarcerated person highlights two grisly truths. Despite its pink-washing policies and tokenism, the UK government has never seen trans women as women, nor does it see prisoners as people. The way the government treats transgender prisoners reveals a lot about how they intend to treat our trans siblings who still have their freedom. If we, as a community, do not show solidarity to the incarcerated, we cannot achieve liberation."
"Watts is being held in her cell for 23 and a half hours each day for her own safety, only being allowed out 'when there are no other prisoners out of [theirs].' This confinement is causing a 'severe impact' on her mental health."
