And was mentored by another transwoman behind bars who was trying to secure clemency on the grounds of mental health or something similar. Almost like they were trying to pull a scam using gender identity instead of mental health issues.

You may actually be right because the article I read said that they tried to blame dysphoria for the murder - so they may have been trying to use it as an insanity defence.

I have a feeling that this is going to be something that happens more often in future.

Well it's worked plenty of times so that will encourage it.

That's just unfair.

It could have easily also been "they prison bitched so hard they decided to become a woman".

Almost certainly that's the case. It's very common you see it happen a lot. Someone just comes out as transgender after they get arrested.

Frankly I don't give a fuck if they feel like they should wear a men's orange jumpsuit or a women's orange jumpsuit, as long as it fits.

I don't see how we can argue for them receiving hormone treatments or surgery while on death row though, even if we assume that "if they don't get it they'll kill themselves" emotional terroristic argument as valid, they're on death row, so what if they kill themselves?
