Why do people have to be so mean? These people don't owe anyone an explanation for themselves yet they are abused while agonising over their inner turmoil. Society makes me sick.
@jesscaralsen It's not about my standard of attractiveness. I would, and have held the door open for countless unattractive woman, and woman whom were not my type at all. I'm just staing I would treat the woman whom looks like an authentic woman more like a woman, because I can't tell she is a man. I'm not saying its right, but how can I treat or see a transgendered man as a real woman when they have so many manly characteristics which contradict their womanhood. I'm just being honest.
Incredible... Apart from the fact that there are way to many people in prison with such long sentences, particularly when some real bad guys like sex offenders or pedophiles get out for good behaviour, I feel really ashamed when I see how people get treated for being different. Even in a "developped" country. What a joke! Its really sad, really really heartbreaking. I don't have any words...
in LA county they have a floor dedicated to gays/trans....this is for men however so trans MTF would be on that floor. im sure its not as dangerous because gay men arent going to be tempted by technical women....i think all prisons should implement something like this but then again la county is LA county its not like a long term pen. it saddens me ot see such amazing people go thru this though. :(
@TheMscrp haha i have been polite that's y i watched d whole show n read all ur emotional comments..it's fine if we r not on d same page..not all ppl think d same ;)
Why use "he" when she is a girl. The "legal" prcedures they use as an excuse are
deplorable. Transgender people should have a right to be treated differently in jail as this is a recognized "disorder/condition" where is their "legal" excuses about that? It most often happens that TG people are first put in situations where there is no medical assistance. So why are they in jail on trumped charges?
@justjustify85 I'm assuming that question was directed at me since that's what I referred to them as. That's ok that we see them differently, I can understand that for some just seeing them they may just see the male attributes. Please permit me to see deeper when I hear their story. They live their lives as women, and identify as women. The least I can do is give them the honor of calling them by the name and sex they prefer. If I see them as brave and beautiful, then that is how I see them.
Often it appears that no thought is put into it before degrading another on nationality, skin tone, sex, religion, sexuality, education levels, income, and differences in ideas. Where has basic kindness gone? The best debates are ones where we learn something from our "opponent" spoken with a civil tongue and courtesy. We are all human beings, but where is the humanity?
Not everyone will always agree, that's fantastic to have so many unique views of the same picture. I just hope one day there will be a little more tolerance, compassion, and love in what we say to one another. I really hope for a day that more kindness will be shared on youtube instead of so many mean and thoughtless remarks that sting. I realize there are those who wish to do nothing but stir up hatred. I don't understand the blind hate I see in so many remarks.
I am watching this whole documentary... and I may comment on every single part and anyone who doesn't like it can kiss my crack. What people are doing to these people are wrong! The only REAL authority over us as people is The One who created us! Since NONE of us are responsible to the creation of human life, what the hell gives another person the right to make one suffer because of their own personal choices?! I'm almost at my boiling point and only on part 3.
We are missing out as a society. These beautiful, brave women have so much to offe.r If only they were given a second chance like any other person who has served their time. Let me assure you ladies, if we ran into one another tomorrow, I would embrace each of you as a sister and cheer you on! Keep fighting girls! Thank you for sharing this, it was sad and tragic, but it has opened my eyes to a very real issue that we need to address!
@andreaburnett What about the men in the prison? You dont have any sympathy for them. Are they beautiful people with so much to offer? The only way a man can get sympathy is to be a woman. This way of thinking sickens me.
@mrgimp420 Why would you assume that I feel nothing for the men locked away in prison? EVERY human being has so much to offer and deserves a second chance. Prison is an unnatural way to live, and I don't believe anyone is their true selves in such a dangerous environment. How can I not feel sympathy for anyone in that situation? That wouldn't be human. I focused my comments towards the "women" because that's what the focus of the show was on. If I offended you with my words then I'm truly sorry
@andreaburnett lol no need to apologize. Confrontation and disagreement doesnt necessarily mean hostility. I just feel our society has more empathy for women. Men dont get much sympathy because we are seen as predators and sex hounds. Mens aggression evolved from protecting his family. But that role as protector has been denigrated to the point that men are just seen as violent rapists and killers. Look at comments on other prison vids, they arent as sympathetic as these comments here.
@mrgimp420 I wholeheartedly agree with that observation. Women do seem to get more sympathy than men in these situations. The stereotype is to keep the men as the aggressors and the women as weak and soft. I know that I tend to personally take the side of the "underdog" and am more sympathetic towards them. Maybe with these videos, that's where the maority of the sympathy is coming from. I would like to believe that it's still human nature not to want to see people victimized. Wishful thinking?
This whole movie is just breaking my heart! They each seem like such sweet people with broken, tender, little hearts! They have every right to live a normal life just like everyone else. The atrocities they endured in prison is just inhumane. They paid their duty to society with their flesh and blood. Literally. It saddens me that they are treated like lepers, and banned from the right to a job they are qualified for.
@scumgod13 It's been awhile since I watched this, and I don't think I caught that. That does seem extreme, but I am not aware of the circumstances. It makes me wonder if Ms. Linda was reduced to stealing due to the inability to be hired.
@andreaburnett hmmm..it seems like a disorder or more like a mental disease...well i guess it's kinda in human nature..when u give them much too freedom..they start questioning everythin..get themselves in contusing situations which lead them more in to conflicts..between them and more likely society..or their community..
for example..how d hell is d guy gonna rise d kid?! u know how much damage they cause once they start changin their bloody gender? how d hell d kid is gonna refer to them? dad?mom?maniac?
@krisagui well...kris ur missin d point here.. a society..a community or watever u call it does think individually specially wen we r talkin about these matters..that's y in some points we hav these beautiful or ugly conflicts..! i totally understand ya guys some of u thinkin emotionally some of u thinkin freely....n so on but d fact is if we keep goin like this wat would be d end of humanity? we end up with robots talkin about homosexuality?
@krisagui freedom is awesome...is d best thing eve for human being or any other creature..but if u let it go..for any particular reasons...too much of it like any other matter in this world can cause confusion..interruption...n cultural invasion n etc....
@krisagui u see now is d point that u separate logic n emotion now is d point that u cant individually decide whether that kid can coup with d condition or not..cuz even 1 day he/she can stand against this matter or even vice versa...we can generalize these things...not all ppl think d same...complexity is d las thing eve wanted in any condition for human being...
@krisagui beside all these yap...there are some stuffs that we do care...like these guys could take their medications...nothin wrong with that...but u see...wen d society has difficulties understandin them...or facin them they kinda left alone n no one can support them even in us!! so they start doin crapy jobs..yap these r d consequences of wat u r thinkin of...for developin human mind 100 years may not be enough...r ya willin to suffer?r u sure after all that be all?
@krisagui im not sayin we should be scared of tmw...don loose me there..but im sayin other things that is difficult to put in words in a comment of a clip it's a complex matter..let it be...society might disolve it buy itself....;)
all they say is why ppl don accept us..?! why ppl don wanna take this as normal thing? why Constitution is against us? well all i've wanna say is they are d creation of a failure in a complex system called human being...!n there is no doubt of justice system bein tough toward them...hehen buy the way...constituiton is not perfect..as every other things in this world..! face it..!!! no matter its american...mexican or alian..!
@justjustify85 i'm not english or american... I know people don't understand, and i don't think that the future will be much different for tg people, but maybe there will be laws that protect us from discrimination in general... That's all i care by now.. If i go out home and someone yell me Queer i don't give a damn, i go straight and ignore this idiot...But the worst thing is the difficulty of getting a job and difficult to live...
@killuminati63 Allright, obviously you are a documentary buff as well, is it ok if I send you a friend request? I love suggestions for new documentaries. I have to admit, that one was one I probably wouldn't have watched without the suggestion. It was a beautiful story though that put a new twist on homelessness for me. Thanks again for the suggestion.
@justjustify85 Well I am a married mother of 3 teenagers, and I'm a woman not a dude. You don't get why I would be so supportive of these people and see them as beautiful women? Who is it hurting for them to dress up as women and lead their lives that way? It doesn't hurt anyone to call them by their chosen names either. I don't get people who bash them cause they think it's weird
@newman21000 - that's like asking why Africans are so much blacker than American blacks. It's an insult either way. Figure it out and spare someone's feelings you get no prize for being a dope. Obviously he "THEY" in your words... did not have any plastic surgery to soften some features. Like brow bone, nose, adams apple (if they have a big one) Voice box could be shaved and voice softened.
@1957joshua Yes, calling a female transgender He is the most awful thing you can do to her. I have a friend thats now POsTop transexual but she would go off if anyone called he he or sir.
