A New York Jail Forced a Trans Woman Into a Men’s Facility
ACLU.org ^ | 9/3/2019 | Simon McCormack and Bobby Hogson

Posted on 09/12/2019 12:25:42 PM PDT by simpson96

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.

I’m enjoying old movies more and more because people were sane back then and you had normal man/woman relationships

I do something similar after watching raging modern feminists. I watch interviews from the 1950s with Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn or Bridget Bardot. Knowing French for Bardot helps, but its not necessary!

ACLU has been silent about the FIB spying on Americans because they question the “Russia Russia Russia” narrative.

Is this the same ACLU that fought against Al Gores attempts to improve airline security in the 1990s that as a result allowed 4 airlines to be easily hijacked on Sept. 11th 2001 resulting in more than 3000 deaths? Oh yes it is.

Got to wonder how long that guy was locked up that ‘fell in love with it’ upon first sight?

Oh yes, notice the norm is to mention the ‘its’ were vets.

Besides the fact that he is a man, no matter what he says, notice the convoluted language the writers have to use “...a fellow incarcerated person”—who would use such a phrase? The political correctness is very strong with these two writers.

It wanted men or it wouldn’t be dressed in faux leather boots. One would think it would have enjoyed being in the men’s facility.

Can’t find its arrest record.

Because... it’s a man. A homosexual man. Plenty of that in men’s prisons.

Since gender is a grammatical term, go ahead and change your gender. Sex never changes (except maybe through reincarnation).
