a transgender comedienne that was detained at the Toronto Airport
she believes that that happened because she overstayed her visa
when she was in Canada the last time now there's a British comedian by the name
of
every edits and she's been making headlines recently because not only was
she detained for eight hours
she used Twitter to talk about or write about everything that she experienced
and in the end they ended up putting her into a male jail
instead of putting her into a female joanne is a mention she's transgender
so I'm she started off with a series of tweets explain it she got detained
%uh wanna tweet said received word that I may be kept in solitary because I am
pre-operative
MTF predictable but still *** terrifying
and TF I i believe me is male to female
yep so you're clear on that so she's pre-operative I think you know what that
means
so that's what to everybody for a loop oh my god where do I where we put her
but her passport clearly indicate she's female
I in fact though there is a tweet about that initial
in touring entering officer is so in other about my depression keep switching
he/she my passport is female she says
right now look at the third guy who's making that mistake
I'm not on him like I people make that mistake all time they just not used to
interacting with people or transgender that much
I I'm not worried about that as much as I'm worried about how the
detained her for all this time yeah I did with yep so they again they detained
her for over eight hours
but I will note look the part story that I don't really understand is
her passport so she's a female she looks like a female
like why are they getting into the issue for genitals you know I feel like that's
a little invasive
boat definitely a man at one point need to a medical check
to basically she alludes to basically
checking her job she says in 10 literally going to jail actual jail
because they don't know what to do about my job he another one she says change
your plan again
will be moved soon to Maplehurst Correctional Facility an SS planners
before place
in mail were female cell so she's being assessed by a nurse
hmm many hey man pay cut it out
her past forces female let it go already right
with absolutely ridiculous I mean it I can imagine
having people examine my genitals and make decisions on which in jail I need
to go to
based on my gender identity and it's disgusting so originally they did placer
into an all-male facility
however I'm they got so much backlash for doing so that she was
later transferred to a female facility now
first the wall the quote issue with her being detained doesn't make sense to me
right let's say that the transgender element of the story didn't even exist
water wheel locking people away and why does she have to wait for a hearing
because she
overstayed her visa lil previously
I mean she's obviously not trying to get into the country illegally our
children's theater Reza
once you have to spend time in jail as a result about yet it to go top of a long
time to sort that out great she likes threat to society
raise an issue and look gives a couple guys are confused by her status
again a it's easy for me to say I'm not over sweating that
but I get that people are used to it and sometimes they are thrown for a loop
sometimes they mean harm so but most have my guess is they don't mean army
just don't know what to do
yeah I'd and and I wish they were more sensitive to it but but
a lot of people are right but to me when you actually put her in a male cell
jail cell your in endangering your place is that they got to be a really serious
issue
absolutely because I mean what happens in jails
no joke right and that's not be a radical
and sure you know I we've got a number of stories on
the unbelievable amount to rate there is
in presence now I don't know that it's going to happen in eight hours but she
doesn't know how to launch a sickness
stay there an you know she's
in a situation where he had no expectation go to Joes is not a criminal
right she was thrown into this hostile environment he know there's more
now this story's in Canada but in the US there's more men *** women *** in
the country
like what it was amazing place I've ever read big on prison *** alone yes
right so the ship a right to be concerned that they're putting her jail
in a situation like this where she
obviously looks female yeah of course got a right to be concerned so jiang
mention this happen in Canada right but it in the United States I mean it this
is just another example why it's so important to have laws
that protect transgender individuals because then you don't
meee should be in a situation where TSA agents are
police enforcement don't know how to handle a person because they are
understand that issue they don't understand what gender identity as
the difference between gender and sex like these are things that a lot of
people
are very ignorant about not to say that they're dumb it's just that there's a
lack of education about this topic
and so if there were more education if there were laws protecting these people
you wouldn't have to worry about throwing a woman into a male jail
gross disgusting I don't know I mean thankfully nothing
happened to her when she was there but it's conceivable that something bad
would happen to her and i'm glad that she got transferred to a female
facility
