Seriously! What is this. Plenty of trans people could have benefited from I'm have their story told. Why this? WHY?

Treatment of Trans individuals in Prison is a giant and serious problem.
Exactly. Nobody’s saying she should go free. Even if she’s guilty, people in prison shouldn’t be tortured by being held in solitary for 20 years and not being given medical treatment.
What you describe is what it should be, but “crime” is a very large category. Many of us might have sympathy for a single mom forced into prostitution to make ends meet versus a serial rapist who tortured his victims. Both have to serve time, but it is not unreasonable to have sympathy and a desire to reform one while…
It’s bizarre to compare not reporting a fellow student for a school driving offense to covering up the rape and murder of a child and enabling the rapes and murders of more children.
She is not, this is all her PR like usual.
Yeah, right. Who are you gonna believe: a gang-banger who’d already been tried for a previous case of arson and murder, or all the people who testified that he and his partner had bragged about torturing and murdering a little kid? And who then grinned all the way through the trial?
JFC! And even if she didn’t do it, she’s still allowing a rapist/murderer to go free by not “snitching” so screw her if she thinks that makes her honourable. It does not.
Since this interview was conducted, Synthia China Blast has been transferred to Mid-State Correctional Facility, a men’s facility near Utica. She is now on a long-term IPC wing, and is able to spend the vast majority of each day out of her cell and around other prisoners. Blast finally has access to programming and…
I’m confused. I read this article that seems to have been published in 2014 and doesn’t mention anything about solitary - in fact, the focus of the article is on her relationship with another prisoner. How does this fit with her having been in total solitude for the past however-many years?
Look I don’t give a fuck about her, or how she is treated, I really don’t care about what happened to racist garbage. Does that make me a bad person, I don’t give a fuck. People like her are the reason why my kind never have a peace of mind. Also we can talk about her white privilege, that’s the only reason why she…
From the NY Times, August 30, 1993:
Articles like this remind me why I don’t take liberal feminism seriously anymore.
But if we give people in prison basic human comforts, it will totally make people commit crimes just to live in prison! Totally. Just ask your racist uncle this Thanksgiving. He’ll tell you all about how having TV’s in prisons means they are living better than he is.
She describes herself as being defined as “disposable” and “garbage”.....meanwhile she actually disposed of a dead teenager like garbage...
Given that Gawker’s bread and butter is doxing people, mostly just to humiliate them, that is an ironic criticism offered here. It is, for sure, a vile practice, and rightfully condemned, but you’d have to shut Gawker Media down to get rid of it.
You are not the only one. Human rights are universal and human rights violations are universally intolerable. It’s not a question of who “deserves” them.
I’m rolling my eyes at the claims of innocence. Everyone in jail claims to be innocent and that they were falsely convicted. I’m not buying the “scared of retaliation from gang members” story either. BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER. Prisons are full of objectively awful men and women who have done awful things and yes, it’s…
The fact that anyone still takes Cathy Brennan seriously shows how far we have left to go. This is a person who deliberately doxxes trans* teenagers purely to do them harm.
