Question.

Do women have sex in prison?

This tied in good with last night discussion, a pre-op trans-woman is being transferred out of a women’s prison for having sex with the other inmates.

Transgender murderer is moved from women's jail 'because he kept having sex with other inmates'

It has been revealed that a pre-op transsexual locked up in a Scottish women's jail for a torture-killing has been moved to a different prison, after claims he was having sex with female inmates.

Murderer Paris Green (22), who was previously known as Peter Laing, was sentenced to 18 years in Cornton Vale women’s prison, in Stirling, on the basis that he is transgendered.

However, it has emerged that Green has been moved amid reports that he had sex with other convicts there.

So what is the problem (beside misgendering her)?

Somehow I don’t think that other women in the prison do not have sex with other inmates. The article doesn’t say that she forced herself on the other inmates, it sounds like the sex was mutual, so what makes this any different?

Will now she be raped in the men’s prison where I suppose she is going to be sent or will she be put in solitary confinement?

I visit prisoners in the US Federal Prison system. Prisoners are not allowed to have sex with ANYONE. Those caught doing so will be separated. Contrary to popular belief, homosexual rape is virtually nonexistent in the federal prison system. There are plenty of "volunteers".

Those volunteers have a knife in their back. I have friends who are rape counseling who said,
Of course the women inmates have sex in prison, whether there's a trans woman there or not. (Same with men inmates.) At ___________ we're working with the Dept of Corrections to help them implement the standards of the federal Prison Rape Elimination Act. And the staff of the DOC tell us that prisoners don't have sex because "they're not allowed". So if they can't even talk to us openly & honestly about sex in their facilities, how can we have a productive conversation about how to address sexual violence?"

Yes, there is also consensual sex between inmates. Which was what Paris Green was having and that was my point other inmates just get punished for having sex while the trans-woman gets transferred to another prison.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
