Apparently 6 years is too long after they were convicted of assaulting their 4 year old stepson over a two year period.

Also in the appeal the courts should have taken into account that prison is so hard when you’re trans.

"The trial heard that the offender was male at birth but started to recognise an issue with gender identity around the time of the offences."

of course they did Hmm once they realised they would be a target in a man's prison so instead they moved them to a prison that only houses 26 inmates and one there is already a TW - the lovely lady who tried to gouge out her social worker's eyes while she was driving.
Ideal cell-mates I would say.

Shameful

Horrifying. That poor little child. I cannot believe this is recorded as a crime committed by a woman.

Meant to add that they’re housed with the women in Limerick (of course) and they are reported not to have any surgery or be on hormones.
