After three years of legal battles
From the Department of New Milestones for Women –
A transgender female prisoner received her gender confirmation surgery after three years of legal battles, her attorney Lori Rifkin confirmed to CNN Tuesday.
Adree Edmo has been in custody of the Idaho Department of Correction since 2012 and petitioned for her gender confirmation surgery in 2017.
She was convicted of sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy while he was sleeping, according to court records.
That is, he was convicted of sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy while he (the boy) was sleeping. That isn’t something a woman did, it’s something a man did. Statistics on crime need to be accurate. Women are much less likely to rape teenage boys than men are. Reporting on crime need to be accurate too, especially crimes of violence, especially predatory violence.
The statistics should show what is happening with trans people as self identified groups. Not grouping them with men/women could show some interesting, and possibly helpful numbers. Grouping TIMs with men probably makes men look worse than they are. Yes they are men and should be grouped with men, but if they don’t want to be grouped with men anyway, let them have their own categories. Complete with startling percentages would be my guess.
I agree with twiliter. Refer to them as ‘trans’ (just ‘trans’; if they object, tell them that they are being transphobic, and should be ‘proud to be trans’), and use the singular ‘they’ or one of the made-up pronouns to refer to them.
Yes, but isn’t that offset by the fact that TIW being grouped with men probably makes men look better? Especially with the fad of lesbian girls becoming straight boys?
Judge: I think the bastard should be castrated.
Lawyer: Let’s call it “gender affirmation surgery.”
Judge: Done deal.
Ikn @3 Good point, unless the TIWs are groomers, or worse, Chase Strangio types.
But now that they’re using the right pronouns, “she” is all better?
According to the famous (and comprehensive) Swedish study (Djeune, et. al.),

No, “she” had to get put in the right prison first. I mean, it’s not just pronouns. It’s those pesky female-only spaces that for some reason females resist having men enter.
