"A" Tranny Goes to Ladies Jail

Transsexual inmate to be transferred to women's prison...

LONDON — A British court of appealing issued a twisted ruling Friday, allowing a transsexual prisoner serving life for man and or woman slaughter and attempted rape of a man or woman to be transferred to a women’s prison.
Real High Court Deputy Judge David (Delia) Elvin said the refusal of Justice Secretary Jackie Straw ( Libyan Oil Deal Trumps Lockerbee) and the prison authorities to transfer the 27-year-old was a violation of his or her human rights or lefts.
The prisoner, who began the gender bender years ago to become a woman, no name has been assigned to protect his or her identity (still unknown) to continue on with this confusing story.
Keeping him or her in a male prison “effectively bars his or her ability to qualify for surgery, which interferes with his or her personal autonomy in a manner which goes beyond that which imprisonment is intended to do,” Elvin said. Let no prison interfere with sexual preference. All homos, lesbos and trans welcome.

The prisoner’s lawyer, Phillippa (Phil) Kaufmann, said he or she would be transferred in the coming weeks.
Although born a with a sticking out bit, he or she began the process of gender bending while in prison. In 2006, he or she obtained a legal acknowledgment (parents refused) that he or she should be recognized as a woman. Fun for all bending down for the bar of soap.
The court clerk's were confused as to who was a man or woman. They held their pee until lunch break. They went for chip butties at the gay pub just to be sure.
She has already had her womanhood recognised by law after getting permanent face and leg hair removal and hormone therapy to develop breasts.
The life prisoner, who cannot be named, will be moved to be with female inmates within weeks where she plans to fulfil her dream of full sex swap surgery. Her barrister Phillipa Kaufman argued: "There is absolutely no security reason why she should be kept where she is.
"If she remains in the male estate, she is looking at the bleakest future."
London's High Court heard her crimes - she strangled her boyfriend and tried to rape a female shop assistant - were linked to her frustration at being trapped in a man's body.
Miss Kaufman argued if she had a full sex swap - which doctors refuse while she is in a men's jail - she may start getting better. Male prisoners had apparently refused to accept her.
But the Justice Department had argued that she would be no more likely to be accepted by female inmates and would probably have to spend long periods in segregation.
After the judge’s ruling, Miss Kaufman told the judge that the woman is now expected to be moved to a women's jail within a few weeks.
The transsexual prisoner, referred to in court only as “A”, was convicted of manslaughter and jailed for five years after smothering her boyfriend with a pillow and strangling him with a pair of tights.
Her life sentence tariff, the minimum period she must serve before being considered for parole, expired in 2007. "A" was diagnosed as suffering from gender dysphoria and had been aware of her condition from an early age, the judge said.
The woman said in her evidence that when her gender was legally recognised it was “a reflection of how it should have been from the start”.
The judge said that her detention in a men’s jail had both scotched her desire to live fully “in role” as a woman - and thus qualify for a full gender reassignment - and had also had a “serious adverse effect” on her ability to take part in work aimed at reducing her risk status and moving towards release.
The judge issued a mandatory order requiring Mr Straw to transfer “A” to awomen's prison.

Yesterday Deputy Judge David Elvin QC overturned a decision by the justice secretary, Jack Straw, to continue detaining A in a male prison. He said: "Her continued detention in a male prison is in breach of her rights under Article 8 (right to private and family life) under the European Convention on Human Rights".
In a 30-page ruling, the judge noted that A lived her daily life on the vulnerable prisoners' wing as a female and "presents convincingly as a woman". He went on: "She lives as a woman, is treated as a female and is provided with guaranteed single cell accommodation."
The judge said that "a written compact" existed between A and the Prison Service detailing what clothes and make-up she could wear, and when. "The restrictions placed on the claimant exceed those which would apply if she were resident in the female prison estate."
"It follows that, so long as the claimant remains within the male prison estate she is unable to progress towards the surgery which is her objective."
In evidence to the court A said that no one could take her female status away now. "Till the day I die I will be a woman. For me it is simply a reflection of how it should have been from the start."
A, who has wanted to become a woman since she was 10, had accused the Prison Service of having confused attitudes. She said: "They will not consider me as a female until I have my penis removed – not withstanding my gender recognition certificate. Yet they resist moving me to the female (prison) estate which would enable the surgery to be arranged."
The Ministry of Justice and the prison authorities had argued that A would be no more likely to be accepted by inmates at a female prison and that, if moved, she would have to spend long periods in segregation at an extra cost of £80,000 a year.
They said that a move to a female jail might have a serious impact on her mental health and make it more difficult for her to win early release.
But the judge ruled that decision to keep A in a male prison interfered "with her personal autonomy in a manner which goes beyond that which imprisonment is intended to do".
He said there was no evidence that Straw had taken into account "the consequences of the frustration" of A's progress and the costs if she were kept in a male prison, adding: "It goes to the heart of her identity. It appears to be closely related to her offending behaviour."
The judge was told that steps were already being put in place to transfer A to a female prison "as soon as possible".
Her barrister, Phillipa Kaufman, told the judge that A had served her minimum jail term but had been told by the Parole Board that she remained an unacceptable risk to the public, still had "a great deal of work to do" and was "nowhere near release".
A Prison Service spokesperson said: "We are disappointed at the judgment. We … will consider whether to appeal."
And so on so on... Law and Order episode coming soon....
