Why is prison rape of trans people the thing we care about not prison rape of everyone?
CW: rape
Because trans people are way more likely to be the victims of prison rape than cis people.Furthermore, trans people are more likely to be incarcerated than cis people. 16 percent of trans adults have been incarcerated, compared to 2.7 percent of cis adults.

In any case, caring about trans victims of prison rape obviously does not disqualify you from caring about every other victim of prison rape.
