This guy has quite a history, a history that I'm certain would have given the women's march people plenty of pause had he not been so stunning and brave. This article is a bit of a wild ride; it starts out detailing his journey from state prison to state mental hospital:

In 2007, Jorey Brewis, as he was known at the time, was locked up in a state prison, serving time for robbery.

Racked by discomfort with his male body, a condition known as gender identity disorder, Brewis made repeated attempts to kill himself.

The rare condition went untreated behind bars, and Brewis castrated himself in his cell. In 2007, he used nail clippers to cut out his testicles, records show.

Brewis was committed to the state hospital after being caught with prison contraband — a razor. He pleaded guilty except for insanity to the charge and landed at the psychiatric facility in December 2009.

This article has a lot more details about that if you have a strong stomach. The relevant part to me though was that this prison stint started in 2000. Here is a guy who was in prison for nine years for robbery and then a subsequent 2 years in the mental hospital, released from there just six years prior to getting involved with the women's march and somehow, these people thought to themselves, this is a good person to trust with large amounts of cash.
