Harvey Chettiar, the autistic Brown Singaporean trans woman who has now been detained for 117 days in a men's prison and forcibly detransitioned, is now facing 9 strokes of the cane for resisting strip searches from male prison officers 1/5
strip searches are state-mandated sexual assault. which is why the state intends to violently punish a trans woman for resisting it. for the same reason her gender dysphoria diagnosis was revoked to forcibly inject her with testosterone 2/5

last month, a Singapore Prison Service (SPS) psychiatrist revoked Harvey's gender dysphoria diagnosis, because she resisted the aforementioned strip-searches by male prison officers and does not show "deference to men".
they are now injecting her with testosterone shots. 3/
do not forget that Harvey has been jailed simply for being late for a court appearance and is being held without bail. this is part of a larger plot by the Singaporean Christian far-right to destroy trans rights in Singapore by demonizing her 3/5

URGENT
Trans and queer rights are under attack in Singapore by US-funded Christofascists. They are demonizing an autistic Brown trans woman to get being trans classified as a mental illness.
This will kill trans Singaporeans.

the prison system is a huge part of how the state inflicts transphobic violence on trans people, esp trans women. Harvey's pre-trial detention is nothing less than torture. fire to the prisons. there is no trans liberation without prison abolition 4/5
for more info on Harvey's ongoing incarceration, as well as broader context on the Singaporean Christian far-right's attempt to crack down on trans rights with assistance from US fascists, see my thread of threads here: 5/5
