"I SWEAR I'M A WOMAN!"

#In D.C., three corrections officers are being fired after classifying a woman inmate as a man. Virginia Grace Soto is a white Hispanic woman from the Dominican Republic. (No word yet on whether she is a legal U.S. resident.) The corrections reports describe her as "androgynous in nature." But even after a strip search and a shower with male inmates ... they couldn't tell she was a woman?

Looks like there's more to this story.

Turns out that this was not the first time Soto was arrested. She'd been arrested twice since April and both times the officers classified her as a man. It began during her first arrest for prostitution.

Although she told the officers she was a woman, she was booked as a man after an interview with the city's Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit.

She was arrested again in July on drug-related charges. Since she was already in the system, they assumed that she was still a "man."

After her arraignment, she was brought back to the men's receiving unit at the jail. At this point she was strip searched by two jail officers ... who apparently failed to notice that she was a woman because she held a hand over her genitals. Assuming that she was a he, the corrections officers falsely assumed that there was no hiding place behind those hands.

I've read a statement by one of the prison guards who conducted the strip-search and it all began to make sense. "I didn't see nothing," said one of the jail officers, "but I was still thinking male." Clearly the government hired the best and the brightest.

Finally she was taken to an examination room where it took a doctor to officially pronounce Soto a woman.

iClearly the government hired the best and the brightest.Well, at least they don't seem to be of the "third sex" or they would have paid more attention to the man while he/she/it was in the shower.

Not only has she been hit. Looks as though she has been "grilled."

Mary Cheney probably gets this problem all the time.
