While I understand the need for an open mind these days,this is certainly taking things too far.Considering the fact that the dude still has male organs and his criminal history ( convicted for manslaughter and attempted rape),what is the possibility that he would not commit crimes in his new prison.Sick if you ask me!

The prisoner, who cannot be identified, is serving life for manslaughter and attempted rape committed when she was a man. Justice Secretary Jack Straw had ruled the inmate should continue to be held at a male prison.

But today London's High Court declared it was a breach of the prisoner's rights under the European Convention on Human Rights to deny her relocation.

Barrister for the inmate, Phillippa Kaufmann, told the court: "An indication has just been given to us that the transfer should be effective in a few weeks."

The prisoner's female sex has been recognised under the Gender Recognition Act 2004 and her birth certificate amended accordingly, the court heard. Aspects of the inmate's male sex have been altered - including the laser removal of facial and body hair and the development of breasts with hormone treatment.

She is however forbidden from wearing skirts or more than "subtle" make-up at the men's prison where she is being held on a "vulnerable prisoners" wing. The inmate has also been denied gender reassignment surgery while she is incarcerated at the men's prison.

As part of her evidence, the inmate said she would be a woman until the day she died. "No one can take my female status away from me," she said. "For me it is simply a reflection of how it should have been from the start."

She is serving an automatic "two strikes" life sentence for manslaughter "by reason of provocation of her male partner" in 2001. She was also convicted of the attempted rape of a woman five days after her release from her five-year manslaughter sentence.

Considering "he" was convicted of rape, "she" shouldn't be let loose in a women's prison.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if he got rid of the knob and bollox.

He can think he's a kangaroo but it doesn't change the fact his a man. Why does the state pander to this kind of thing in a criminal? Is he getting gender treatment in prison?

She is legally and psychologically a woman, this was the right decision.

He's a murdering and raping scumbag. He lost all rights then as far as I'm concerned.:mad:
Let him rot in the prison until he's eligible for parole, then he can fcuk off and get his gender transfer completed.
Then I'll refer to her as a female scumbag.

But... physically... still has a mickey? I thought to get the whole legally recognised as a woman the full gender re-assignment thingy had to be completed no? Not being ignorant but if the surgery isn't done then how is their status now female?

Read again.

She couldn't get the mickey cut off as she is incarcerated at the men's prison. The rules said she must be transferred to the womens before that is done.

I think its how the person behaves personality wise(the inside) in this case to be a woman. Everything is there to be that woman on the outside, just the last physical bit to be chopped off hence the case.

I think attempting to rape a woman five days after being released from prison suggests that his personality is not all woman...

irelandrover

When did he decide he wanted to be a woman? Pscologically I wouldnt even class it as human after attempted murder and attempted rape.

ChocolateSauce

Her legally recognised birth cert states she is a woman, hence she should be in a woman's prison. I don't make the rules, and I will respect the judgment of high court judges and qualified psychologists.

A person still has rights even if they are a prisoner, and saying they don't is a very dangerous position to take.

ye but i could be all an act to get transfered to lady's jail would be hander time

Hangsangwich

its mad to think someone can be born a man, and then have their birth cert altered. Crazy law. Where reality is disregarded and is subservient to Political corectness

Its a strange case alright. The other side of the coin, should a woman(transgendered) be incarcerated in a mens prison?

Its a serious life changing experience to go through. The person would of seen psychiatrists and psychologists to make sure they were not been fooled.

That's the problem right there.
As far as I'm concerned someone that murders and rapes someone loses all rights straight away.
These days it's all about prisoner rights etc....what about the rights of the man he murdered? What about the rights of the woman he raped??

Genetically speaking he is male. All the cells in his body are male. The fact that he's a murderer/rapist is irrelevant. Even with all the genital mutilation and hormone treatments in the world, he'll never be a woman.

Sorry, but that isn't how it works.

Well fortunately in this case as far as the law is concerned, your opinion doesn't matter. The reason we have an impartial justice system to facilitate social harmony, not to appease the arbitrary feelings of people. Criminals may lose their civil rights, but their human rights are invoidable.

Tell that to people who have been successfully and legally living for years as the opposite gender to which their bodies conformed at birth.

They have not been succesfully been living as the opposite gender because they are NOT the opposite gender. As for legality, the law is an ass, everyone knows that.

It seems obvious to me that classifying cetain mindsets/behaviours as male/female is 1000 times less politically correct than insisting on refering to someone by the gender they are.

Yes, they are. You clearly don't understand the topic at hand. That's somewhat understandable; it's counter-intuitive and takes a bit of reading into it and also an understanding of human biology, psychology and sociology. I suggest you do this reading.

Its funny that the biology profession disagrees with you and so do the psychology/psychiatrists!

How is your opinion better than scientists?

No they haven't.

The had a few operations, changed their name, changed their birth cert, took a few hormones and then stuck on a Gúna and told the world they are now a woman.

Sorry bud.... You're not. You're a man in a dress. Nothing more.

Now, I have no problem with it. Whatever someone wants to do to thier body/wear/call themselves is none of my business and no skin off my nose. And if they are happy with it, then more power to them.

All I'm just sain', you ain't foolin' anyone but yourself.

Strange. I could have sworn that biologists defined gender by genetics. Maybe all those lecturers were lying to me .

The way i see it, if you have a Y chromosone you are male. If you don't you are female. If you have an intersex condition it is more complex and i would refer to you as intersex.

To automatically associate certain traits/ behaviour with gender is incredibly un-pc. Why do most people not refer to incredibly camp men as women?

nix

You need a vagina and then some to be a woman, not a mutilated penis.

The law doesnt make it right, was the law right when they crucified jesus ? :P

Laws can be changed, your sex cannot.. no matter how much you sugar coat it :rolleyes:
