20 MURDERERS SAY THEY ARE TRANS
The Mail on Sunday13 Dec 2020
THE number of transgender murderers behind bars has doubled in the past four years, according to official figures.
Twenty killers last year told the prison authorities that they are transgender – up from nine who did so in 2016.
The Ministry of Justice figures will intensify suspicion that some violent criminals may be identifying as trans in the hope of getting better treatment in jail or being transferred to a women’s prison. Ministers last year established a dedicated wing at Downview in Surrey – a women’s closed category prison – for male-born prisoners who now identify as female.
It followed the scandal involving Karen White, a transgender inmate who sexually assaulted two women while on remand in New Hall women’s prison in West Yorkshire. An event last month hosted by the Prisoners’ Advice Service heard that four inmates had since been placed in the unit – of whom three had convictions for sexual offences – but all but one has now been placed in a women’s jail.
Prisons Minister Lucy Frazer said robust rules were in place to ensure all inmates were managed safely, adding: ‘ We expect all prisoners t o be treated fairly, lawfully and decently, with their rights and safety properly respected.’
And at this point it doesn’t matter if they’re TIMs who commit murder or murderers who claim they’re TIMs. They should never be allowed near women or children - or, for that matter, other men.
This is a circle for discussing plants, fungi, and slime mold. From flower beds to hobby farms; from your dying windowsill basil plant to kitchen gardens; from wild mushrooms to your failed tabletop mushroom kit.
If the species falls under the aforementioned categories, you are welcome to share advice, success, and failure.
Identification requests are also permitted, just please add the "ID Request" flair to your post.
Lastly, pictures of animals (e.g. bees) in your gardens are also welcome, but please keep animal agriculture to an extreme minimum--our focus is flora, not fauna.
Guidelines:
Be very careful about revealing your location information. If you need to give details, you probably should be as vague as possible, ie: "a desert", "the southwest US", or "USDA Zone 9"
Be very considerate of the content of photographs and if they reveal anything that can be used to de-anonymize you.
