I was unaware of the distinction. Thank you for pointing it out. As for why I brought up his transgenderism, it was one of those unexamined beliefs based on hearsay that seemed natural to believe, and wasn't obvious how absurd it was until it was pointed out. Specifically, the idea that transgender people are less likely to engage in crime like murder or theft, and hence would be less dangerous to society after spending time in prison. But that logic doesn't really follow, and the assumption was probably false anyway. Apologies. I meant no disrespect.
