Sex swap prisoners can have bras / make-up
I have no problem with this, but what happens to people who are convicted as males and then want to change gender ?
Prison officers have been ordered to allow transsexual prisoners access to padded bras and make-up.
A detailed new policy document drawn up by Kenneth Clarke's Ministry of Justice sets out the rights of sex change inmates, saying they must be allowed to purchase "gender appropriate" clothing from a home shopping catalogue.
Jail warders, who are already required to address inmates by courtesy titles such as Mister, must call transsexual prisoners "Miss" or "Ms" under the new mandatory guidelines, which come into effect later this month.
The document also offers advice on other problematic issues when dealing with transsexual prisoners – such as access to prison showers – and urges officers to contact the Ministry of Justice's dedicated "gender recognition policy team" if they have questions about the policy.
The 20-page guidebook, issued to prison governors last week, says: "An establishment must permit prisoners who consider themselves transsexual and wish to begin gender reassignment to live permanently in their acquired gender."
It says that concessions which must be made "include allowing prisoners to dress in clothes appropriate to their acquired gender and adopting appropriate names and modes of address".

His extremely hairy arms and legs in a dress always got a chuckle out of me.
Klinger rofl................I loved that show. Especially when he was all dolled up and he was smoking a massive cigar.
britexpat--I would claim that chopping violated my religion (a rare sect), so they would have to leave me alone.
I think that you would one day have to have the chop also :O)
If I were given life imprisonment, I would definitely claim that my state of mind did not match my body (woman in a man's body) and insist on dressing like a woman like Klinger on MASH so that they would move me to the women's prison.
I think the shower room; which is already a soapy nightmare - may just get worse :-O
So, if a prisoner is thinking of going through gender transition. Wouldn't supplying him with bras and lipstick or calling him "miss" cause him more problems with his fellow inmates.
cabbage..kinda would take some of the fun out of it..;)
What'd I miss?
It is a pity that forums can't be locked lol Invitation only forums- that's the way to go.
cabbage, wait for the pious to move in...;)
Welcome to the calm debate lol
I thought that to; maybe they should have a prison for men that are now women and women who are now men;-/
So they have woman's body now? Or just partially?
Because if they have a woman's body, should they not go to a woman's prison?
Maybe they should have tranny prisons...:/
Well done! Was looking for a change of subject lol :-)
If they change gender do they then get transferred to the appropriate prison?
