Cruel And Unusual - 4/7

Cruel and Unusual: Transgender Women in Prison (USA).
Documentary by Janet Baus & Dan Hunt. (2006)

IMDb:
Imagine being a woman in a men's prison. For many individuals, this is a grim reality because the U.S. prison system decides where to place inmates based on their genitalia, not their gender identity. This award-winning documentary makes an unflinching examination of transgender women in men's prisons.

THIS IS NOT MY WORK.

Does anyone else think that the woman celebrating her birthday looks a bit like Amy Roloff?

Also, this documentary is really heartbreaking. I guess equal parts saddening and infuriating... makes me wonder what would happen to me if I -- a trans man -- were sent to prison. Let's have some justice and equality for trans folks!

And we call ourselves civilized!!! I wouldn't treat a dog this bad, and these are fellow human beings, until people realize we are all stuck on this rock together and for such a short time. It would be nice to see the day we all live in harmony with each other and the rock we call home...................

is that attorney Dean Spade a transexual?

Why can't you all just make a constructive comment and move on. When you post and reply over and fucking over, it makes it obvious you are lonely, pathetic and unhappy. People post and a complete stranger replies. The original poster takes exception to the (get this...the complete stranger again.....) It's fucking annoying.

Look, you started all this insulting and and name calling to begin with and I have

NEVER disrespected you and, no, all doctors aren't what I described earlier

but at the same time it's difficult to determine which group of doctors genuinely care about human life as a whole, their skill and profession, and the ones who simply do not.

@jesscaralsen

If anybody, ANYBODY, ANYBODY AT ALL, made a mistake it's YOU !!

You wanna be a woman so bad you feel the need to inject that poison

in your body ?? There's no telling what's in that stuff !!!! Did you STOP

for one hot second to THINK about that. And oh yeah, just so that you

know, doctors DO NOT TELL YOU the side effects of hormones and

other kinds of medicine until you find out the hard way. AND THAT'S

A FACT JACK !!! That's some reality for your ass !!!

@jesscaralsen

And you're nothing but a little poot-butt who claims to have all this medical knowledge but you're

too busy crying and complaining about straight people like me who keeps it real and deals in

truth about manipulating nature, which is what you are doing and advocating. It's not my fault

that you feel the way do. You're a so-called woman trapped in a man's body who is full of hate

and you claim that God made a mistake ??? LOL.

@jesscaralsen

And by the way, even if what you say is true the oath that the doctors took is still hypocritical

because if one does not have medical insurance in some cases there is not a doctor in america

that will touch you but then they took an oath to care for the sick and injured .Trust me I know this !!

And even if you have medical insurance, you better pray it doesn't run out or they'll send

you into some nursing home. you into some

nursing home !!

@jesscaralsen

And here is something else FOOL !! If you know so much about medical science amongst

transgender people why don't you become a freaking doctor since you know so much !!
