Was there a judge who would rule that they must use the pronouns desired by the offender and that he/she be incarcerated in a facility that matched their perceived gender? Were they concerned with offending or being perceived as racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or islamophobic? Was it demanded that violent offenders be given a court date and released on their own recognizance? Things were different then. In ways, better.
“ In ways, better.”
In SO MANY ways.
