I wonder how much pushback there'd be to removing male officers from female prisons? The most obvious objection I can see is that the prison officers aren't criminals whereas the trans women being transferred into the female prisons are. Also they don't access areas like communal showers, changing areas etc.

But it seems like a perfectly reasonable proposal to me if it's logistically feasible (I'm assuming that temperamentally there are more male prison guards in general than female, but that might just be my biases at play).

I don't know enough about WoLF to say whether they are or aren't transphobic. What makes you believe they are?

I've heard them say things over the years that make me feel like they don't see trans-genderism as legitimate. Here's an example of a billboard they're running that I think is pretty in-your-face proclaiming binary simplicities when, in my view, the reality of gender is more complicated: https://www.womensliberationfront.org/news/wolf-defines-women-as-females-on-nh-billboard
