Jena Faith’s experience in the Steuben County Jail was a living nightmare.
The military veteran spent four weeks in the jail awaiting trial last spring. She was initially housed in the jail’s women’s facility without incident, but things changed when officials suddenly transferred her to the men’s facility, despite the fact that she is a woman.
During the weeks that Jena spent as a woman in a men’s jail, she was routinely targeted with physical and verbal harassment from other incarcerated people and guards. On her first day in the men’s facility, a fellow incarcerated person started touching her body and blowing kisses at her, making her feel scared and uncomfortable. When Jena told him to stop, he said that he wanted to marry her, and he wrote her several letters claiming he was in love with her. Afraid, Jena showed the jail’s guards, but all they did was move her to another section of the men’s general population, where she was promptly targeted by another man.
She knew her new harasser to be violent, but even as he repeatedly hurled threatening transphobic slurs at her in the presence of guards, they did nothing beyond telling him to stop a single time. The guards also started calling her “mister” and “a man,” even though she explained to them that she was a transgender woman. Terrified, Jena spent the rest of her days in the men’s facility feeling sick and scared to leave her cell.
Jail officials also denied Jena her doctor-prescribed hormone therapy, even as they made sure to give her all of her other prescribed medications, which led to hot flashes, cold flashes, nausea, and stomach pain. Since she was released from jail, Jena continues to suffer through sleepless nights and night terrors because of what she went through.

But .. but ... he is a man. Belongs in the men’s facilities. All else is cuckoo.
“despite the fact that she is a woman.” Wrong.
We should not be coddling lunatic delusions. That dude is not now, nor will ever be a chick.
Too bad he didm’t get the living shyte kicked out of him.
Seriously, what did he expect? He was in jail, for cripes’ sake, not an Adlerian group session!
There... fixed it
despite the fact that she is a woman.

NO, HE’S A MAN PRETENDING TO BE A WOMAN.
Mental illnesss, just like this woman who wished she had been born blind. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-woman-who-put-drain-cleaner-in-her-eyes-wanted-to-be-blind_n_563af2cce4b0411d306fb1de
I’m watching the 1941 movie “Blood and Sand” with Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, and Rita Hayworth. I’m enjoying old movies more and more because people were sane back then and you had normal man/woman relationships (ven if this one appears to be a tale of an evil, conniving woman working to break up a happy marriage).

Jena continues to suffer through sleepless nights and night terrors because of what it brought upon itself...

Gut Got, that looks like Peter Boyle in wig.
Surgery or not the chromosomes don’t lie
Note to self:
If ever incarcerated, identify as a prison warden and immediately call aclu.
Has he had the surgery?
Transgender - no surgery
Transexual - surgery
Those photos alone are like a complete episode of “scared straight.”
Kids, do you want to be in jail with THIS?
Well, since he’s a man, it’s logical for him to be in a men’s prison.
LOL thats what I’m thinking.
Cruel and unusual punishment to all the other men in the facility.
“A New York Jail Forced a ‘Trans Woman’ {MAN} Into a Men’s Facility”
Thanks, needed some good news from that Obamahole part of the country today.
As will, sadly, major national institutions such as the press, the education system (especially K-12) and today's healthcare system.
The latter will offer solace and hold their hand while the patient "transitions" including M to F surgery and will otherwise counsel them on how to cope with familial and societal rejection.
Not a peep about whether, or how they might achieve normalcy.
