Keep in mind politico is owned by the German equivalent to Murdoch.

Here's a few headlines from this month of their main rag pretending to be news:

  • Trans-criminals supposed to decide on prison
  • Transsexual climate activist doesn't want to go to male prison
  • Anger because of climate activist: Prison union sounds trans-alarm

And a bunch of other trash I am too tired to look at.

Do they not want to go to male prison because they are MtF? You're leaving out a ton of important detail here.

If you want to know more about this, here's a German article from a more reputable source:

TL;DR: There's currently a new law proposed to significantly reduce the time, cost and effort to change your name and gender, replacing the unconstitutional one from the 70s. Guess who doesn't like this and believes cis women need to be protected from dangerous trans women, therefore manufacturing scandals to influence public opinion.
