MSNBC Pundit: President Trump Will Cause ‘Unconscionable Pain’ By Keeping Men Out Of Women’s Prisons

The far-left insistence that biological men can become the equivalent of women just by declaring themselves transgender has led to a host of concerns about the safety of females in a variety of settings.

One particularly troublesome topic involves women’s prisons, many of which have already begun housing men. Unsurprisingly, the result has been a spike in attacks on female inmates.

Half of the trans-identified males recently transferred to Minnesota's only women's prison are sex offenders.

These men can demand female staff for their pat-downs, and are entitled to shower in the same facility as the women.

President Donald Trump entered office with a new executive order calling for a return to the gender binary, which supporters say will protect women. MSNBC host Joy Reid and her recent guest Elie Mystal, however, are apparently preoccupied with a different supposed threat.

According to TheBlaze:

“So that’s obviously very bad. It’s particularly evil to — I always think of you know, prisoners, people who are incarcerated who have transitioned. According to this, you’re going to take, you know, trans women and put them in male prisons. What do we think is going to happen to them there?” Mystal asked.

“Yeah,” Reid replied.

“That’s not gonna be a good day,” he added.

“Yeah,” she responded.

“So I think this is a thing that has real impact. There’s always an obvious Equal Protection challenge,” Mystal said.

He went on to say that the order would be challenged in court immediately, and the legal challenge would likely drag on for a long time.

“There will be people who suffer unconscionable pain because of what he’s doing,” Mystal added. “These are people who are going to be hurt and physically assaulted because of Trump’s executive order.”

On the same day as his inauguration, Trump shared his stance on the gender issue:

🚨 TRUMP: “From today forward, it will be the official policy of the United States to recognize only two genders: male and female.”

FINALLY.

His commonsense approach to the topic has earned significant praise in recent days:

President Trump- “There are only 2 genders.”

Of course, MSNBC wasn’t the only place where anti-Trump sources were apoplectic over his traditional gender views.

As The Appeal reported:

“This is a life-threatening executive order,” said Julie Abbate, national advocacy director at Just Detention International, an organization that works to end sexual abuse in prisons and jails. “It has immediate consequences to the actual lives and physical, sexual, and social well-being of any transgender person, including those who are locked up.”

According to a recent BOP report, trans people disproportionately face solitary confinement in federal custody. That trend continues in state facilities, where almost 90 percent of surveyed trans people said they were subject to isolation.

A February report from the Vera Institute of Justice and Black and Pink National also detailed the violence trans prisoners face in prison. Out of nearly 300 incarcerated trans people surveyed, 31 percent said violence from fellow prisoners is the principal reason they feel unsafe. Additionally, more than half reported being sexually assaulted during their current prison sentences.

“People will die,” Abbate said. “It’s unconscionable the President of the United States has issued this order. It’s just unconscionable in its cruelty.”

Here’s a clip of the aforementioned MSNBC segment:

NEW: Joy Reid and Elie Mystal freak out over Trump's sweeping DEI cuts in the federal government, say there will be "unconscionable pain" because of this.

I can't tell which one is Joy Reid.
