Yes, actually. Never assume anything. If you make a claim, expect people to ask for proof. It’s basic logic.

You are in something called discussion and you shouldn’t have joined this one if you can’t defend your point with any evidence.

If your calling trans people violent, there is no evidence of that. If your saying that they're mentally ill, which I think your alluding to, I think..:

-American Psychological Association
-American Medical Association
-American Psychoanalytic Association
-Human Rights Campaign
-American Academy of Pediatrics
-American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians
-United Nations
-United Kingdom’s National Health Service

Would all disagree with you.

I'm calling criminals violent. And if you're saying gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness I can't help you.

Not all criminals are violent. As for claiming gender dysphoria is a mental illness, prove it.

Being trans and gender dysphoria are very different things you see. According to the NHS website, the british health service, it lists treatments for gender dysphoria as:

-Transitioning (with or without surgery)
-Hormone Blockers (for teenagers)
-Acceptance by the community
-Therapy
-Counselling
Hear me out, right? So if Jesus was born a virgin birth, he only had one set of chromosomes; the female ones. Therefore Jesus is trans.

Don't take me seriously on that. It just boggles me a bit the idea.

You're making a claim that this will cause men to be put with women, when in actuality that's what YOU are advocating.

You need to give proof if your gonna continue talking, you can believe what you want but in a discussion you need something to prove what you are saying.

Solution put trans people in their own prison. The problem will be solved then. In fact I will set up a private prison just for that.

Beliefs should be based around the facts. Nobody believes something just because. What is your reason for your beliefs?

Also, I don’t ask people to “prove” that they believe in God, I ask if they have proof that God exists.

Luckily, you don't have to.

"Violent men" and "transgender people", shockingly enough, aren't the same group.

We're not talking about a decision to put violent men in with women, we're talking about a decision to put transgender people in the prison for the gender they identify as.

What ? I merely proposed a modest proposal to solve the problem.
Make the Trans prison have harder labor so no one lies to get into it.

I mean come on it solves the problem for all time and I earn a profit.

Which is apparently the worst idea ever because of -checks notes- one incident of sexual assault.

If you ask certain segments of the left avoiding taxation is the greatest crime off all.

Unpopular opinion aside, I think it does raise a good question: based on what criteria should we split incarcerated people into separate groups?

I'm leaning towards supporting "non-binary" prisons, as I don't expect cisgendered prison population to be wildly supportive of trans people in their midsts.

Makes me wonder if there have been studies that sought to find predictors for inmate-on-inmate violence (and how many of those would be physical, ideological, etc. traits)

EDIT: I did a quick Google and found the following document, which more or less concludes it's extremely difficult to find predictors in the inmates themselves, but rather suggests improving the prison condition can have a predictable (positive) impact.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
