Why would trans women have any greater fear of rape (by men) than (smaller, weaker) men have?

- fastball 5y agoI can't really speak to the psychology of rapists in prisons, but I imagine there are a good number of people that, if they're gonna rape someone with a penis anyway, it is more enjoyable to rape the person that is presenting as a woman. Also because rape in prison is very much about power, and exerting power over people you dislike for one reason or another (in this case trans people because they are trans) especially.
- mkl 5y agoThere are a lot more straight male rapists than non-straight male rapists, just because there are a lot more straight people. Yes, there is also situational homosexuality, but trans women change the situation.
