It's always a small group ruining for everyone else. Isn't there any way that they can be singled out, to the benefit of most?

You don't need to take hormones or have surgery to be trans. That's not how this works. Medical transition is incredibly expensive and not accessible to everyone. It shouldn't be a litmus test for whether someone is trans or not.

I'm not saying that there is a litmus test.
I'm literarily asking if there's one.
We have a small number of people exploiting the system and threatening to ruin it for everyone else. Pretending that subset of people doesn't exist only makes the problem worse.

"Fake" trans women isn't the reason the city is abandoning the program. Just like conservatives pretending trans women are faking to go into women's bathrooms and abuse cis women, this is a fake scenario.

A transgender Rikers inmate raped a female prisoner while in the women’s section of the jail and has been sentenced to seven years, officials said Monday.
Ramel Blount, 33, who goes by Diamond Blount, pleaded guilty to attempted rape April 7 in an apparent plea deal.
Blount held the victim down by the back of her neck and raped her, investigators said.

For anyone wondering why this unit existed:
>Nationwide, trans women are usually incarcerated with cis men and are many times more likely to be sexually assaulted than other people behind bars.
When someone is put in Rikers awaiting trial, they are wards of the City. The City is responsible for keeping everyone in Rikers safe and alive. We are liable for lawsuits when we don't do that. Willingly putting trans women in all male units where they are almost certain to be physically and sexually abused is negligent and bordering criminal. There's no harm in segregating trans women into small units. Eric Adams' refusal to give a shit is fully in line with his habit of placing anti-LGBTQ+ Evangelical preachers into high paying appointed positions.
