I agree with (1) but wouldn't (2) still tie back to gender stereotypes? At least for the context of OP's point.

To your last point, I think your emotions got the better of you. Or you're just extremely confused. But with your anger at the Canadian gov allowing euthanasia, I think it's the former. The government doesn't own humans. We aren't property. Our lives are our own to end, whenever we want. I understand that totalitarians can't grasp this concept, so I don't waste too much time trying to push that point to you guys.
On the first point of cowardice... again, allowing people to chose to die if they don't like their circumstances is not cowardice, it's compassion. Forcing someone to rot in a cage is peak cowardice. Whether or not I WANT people to die is irrelevant. I WANT them to have the agency to determine for themselves if they want to live or die. Inside or outside of jail. Again, exception for the direct harm to other people. But if the point is that jail/prison will drive more people to suicide, well that is completely irrelevant because the fact remains that we will still be locking them up. And they'll still be humans with the inherent right to determine for themselves if they want to continue living. And they shouldn't have to torture themselves in some crude manner in order to get their wish.

Yeah, that's what I meant. As in, possessing something for 5.1 years doesn't mean you get away with it. Possessing it 5.1 years ago, then stopping at 5.01 years ago, means you get away with it. But with that, I'd assume all politicians would have returned the docs they kept, after making a few copies and burying them somewhere safe. Not sure wtf Trump was thinking, since it's ridiculously easy to get away with making digital copies and hiding them where no one could ever find them.

How would you feel about the option for long-term inmates to have the means to commit suicide? With painless pills. No bribe system, just an option. Not like there's a ton of dignity in dying of old age in prison. Or having to kill yourself in some DIY way. And on that point, I'll never believe that the government owns our lives, so they have no right to stop us from ending our lives. Unless it's directly going to impact other lives. For example, suicide bombers, or people raising kids.

Ongoing possession will extend the SoLs for every crime that I can think of, so it should apply to gov document type stuff like what is happening with Trump.
I've been working on doing this, more and more. I genuinely don't care about gender identity anymore and reference biological sex, in regards to matters of segregation and institutional privileges for females. Recently, I've started getting pushback from trans activists that now claim that transgender women are actually females now because they posses secondary sex characteristics of females. It's completely dishonest, but they're sticking to it.
