Woman who killed random shopper in supermarket gets life

ALFRED, Maine (AP) — A woman who stabbed a random shopper to death in the ice cream aisle of a supermarket was sentenced Monday to life in prison.

Connor MacCalister had told police she was angry with life and had gone to the store to kill "several random people." According to court records, she acknowledged being "off (her) meds" when she killed 59-year-old Wendy Boudreau in August at a Shaw's supermarket in Saco, where they both lived.

MacCalister, 31, entered her guilty plea in October over the objection of her lawyer, who wanted to use an insanity defense. MacCalister was sentenced in York County Superior Court in Alfred, where several members of Boudreau's family and friends spoke prior to sentencing about the horror of grappling with the sudden death of their loved one.

"Those poignant moments, when I realize she is really gone, are paralyzing," said Jessie Boudreau, Wendy's daughter, who added that MacCalister's "actions cracked the very foundation of our family and the Saco community."

I saw the article and thought the timing was rather striking giving that Michelle and Barry are hosting a “special movie night” tonight.

"MacCalister is a transgender man who was born Tanisha Hopkins. She asked to be referred to as a woman in her recent court appearances. An exam report stated that she wants to be placed in a female jail and that she has stopped taking testosterone."

I give up.

What plumbing was this thing born with?

What "gender" did/does it want to be?

Maybe I'm being denser than normal tonight, but I can't figure any of this out from the information in this article.

Thanks in advance.

Funny, she doesn’t look like a Tanisha.

Am I correct in understanding that this individual is a chick that spent some time drugging herself with artificial hormones and pretending to be a dude?

Was this a case of “’roid rage”?

She needs to be locked up for the rest of her life.

I’m very confused but it’s nothing compared with this she who’s now he but is actually physically still a she. Hasn’t she/he the right to express her/his gender as he/she wants to? Obviously not guilty as he/she kill a straight mother of five who might have look at him in a look he/she felt was strange.

Highlights as best I can decipher:

Born female.
Became transgender going to male.
Unhappy, miserable jerk goes to grocery store to kill.
Kills a woman buying groceries.
Gets arrested.
Going to jail soon.
Now wants out of male prison to be female in female prison to avoid rape?

Did I get it right?

I think you've got it right: an actual female, did the hormonal derangement /cross-dressing thing for awhile to pass for a male. Now wants to go back to female.

It is honestly scary to realize that the people in power think hormonal derangement is a proper "treatment" for "gender dysphoria." This person is seriously mentally ill.

MacCalister is a transgender man who was born Tanisha Hopkins

I think I'm beginning to see the problem but it took reading the entire article to get to it in the last paragraph.

I know of two of these Female to Males. They both lost their jobs because of out of control anger. I think it was the testosterone injections.
