As we all know, gender is a social construct. It has nothing to do with millions of years of evolution. It has nothing to do with millennia of social mores. Its a personal decision. If you were born with boy parts but you decide youre actually a girl, presto, youre a girl. If youre a boy who just happens to have girl parts, same deal. Nobody can tell you who you really are.
And anybody who disagrees with any of the above is something called a transphobe.
Which means this one could get a little bit tricky. Kaitlan Collins reports:
Caitlyn Jenner might face a manslaughter charge because of a February car wreck he was involved in that left one woman dead
Detective Richard Curry said theres nothing really egregious about the case, so Jenner is looking at a 50/50 chance of being charged.
So its a coin toss. What happens if Jenner is charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison? Will he go to a mens prison or a womens prison?
If you say it should be a mens prison, isnt that transphobic? If Vanity Fair and E! and everybody else say hes a woman, why should the prison system say any different?
If you say it should be a womens prison, what sort of precedent will that set? Whats to keep subsequent male convicts from declaring themselves female as well and demanding to go to girl jail?
I dunno, its a tough one. Maybe we should start building trans-only prisons. Otherwise, the potential for misgendering and deadnaming and other such microaggressions is too great. Criminals have feelings, too.
They usually don’t have the balls to go that far! /s;)
He’s a lesbian right?
Irrelevant. The real question is how much will Jenner get paid for another stinking season of re-ality teevee? Mo' dram-mer and all that. (BARF!)
I think in most states....he’d be charged with manslaughter and do a minimum of five years in prison. In California, with the right lawyers and mental health people....you might not be charged, and in his case....I can’t see him doing more than eighteen months max.
For the dead lady’s family....sue him...go for every penny he has and that’s the only way to get real justice out of the system.
That's actually true.
Um, so dumb question. Girly prison or manly prison? Is there a girly man prison? No, really, seriously...how is the penal system going to accommodate this if it plays out to prison?
What about hormone treatments? Do taxpayer’s foot the bill for that?
He essentially killed her.
Well, yes, but...he’s so courageous, so...
verdict-misdemeanor...
Either way, he will be VERY poplar in prison, if u know what I mean.
Yeah...he’ll probably BRANCH out and meet lots of people; let’s hope his BARK is worse than his bite; and when he LEAVES, maybe the poor SAP will have figured out who he really is...
