One vote Tom Hardy here!

I’m supportive of many things in life. These include inmates being treated well, including being protected from assault by other inmates and by corrections officers; and receiving health care, which can include medical support such as hormone treatment for transgender inmates.

Odd how becoming a famous actor can thrust them into a nightmarish “aristocracy.” Poor things.

Also, “medecins sans frontieres”?? Just say Doctors Without Borders, you pretentious asshat. This was like the physical embodiment of a humblebrag.

He’s thirstier than she is.

Just wrote this in response to a thread about the speech on the “Hidden Fences” post:

Great. Now, let’s see how many female inmates demand sex reassignment surgery and a transfer to the men’s unit.

I’m betting we can check back in 20 years and that number will still be zero.

This is wrong on so many levels.

Not against this but I’m surprised this is being labeled a “life-saving” operation as she is the one trying to take her life. Like if I tried to hang myself cos my nose is too big, rhinoplasty would become a life saving operation? I wonder why this is treated differently then say, that body dysmorphic disorder. They…

Some good advice, that you should aim towards this CONVICTED MURDERER. I’ll gladly be the first to call this pile of human garbage a “fucking freak”, not because of the proposed surgery mind you, but because this animal chose to actively take the life of another human being. Where was her empathy?

Healthcare issues asside, what is this sexist bullshit? I never wear any of these things and I am female. You know what I wear? Bras and menstrual pads. Those are the only specific female itmes I can think off that I wear. Sheez why does “being female” always gets reduced to stereotypes?

I do not think this is a victory for trans people who have been denied care at all. This means nothing for all the non-criminal trans people who cannot afford or are otherwise unable to get what is indeed a necessary surgery.

As a transgender woman, I’m very uncomfortable with this. If you commuted murder, let alone kidnapping, you should not have access to this surgery. All this does is drag the rest of us through the mud honestly.

When somebody murders someone in cold blood, its pretty easy to lose empathy for that person.

She IS a criminal. She’s a convicted murderer.

I wish Shiloh Quine had had some empathy for Shahid Ali Baig and his family.

I mean... her being a criminal is a crucial point to this story, no?

This feels really unfair. I know that’s not the right way to feel but i can’t get my head around it. Can anyone put it in terms that are easier for me to understand?

Nah, I can’t get behind this one. You got taxpayers (including victim’s family) paying for a surgery that isn’t absolutely necessary. There are many transgender folks, who aren’t murderers, that are much more deserving. Maybe we should just tell the law abiding trans community that if they want to have the surgery,…
