Transgender life within California prison - BBC2 tonight @ 9

[T Oracle]

I saw something like this on TV, also in California. There was a very "gg" looking latina woman who wore baggy prison issue clothes, but you could still see her shape. She was married to a dude in the prison. He looked to be tinier then her actually, which I was shocked by.

Without spoiling eveything by revealing all, this was one of the most interesting progs I've seen in months.

A black guy in for a murder he claims he did not commit. 50 to life. 19 years old. Confident that San Quentin is much safer than his home neighbourhod.

A white guy in for 451 years to be followed by 11 life sentences (and he didn't kill anyone). 'Out' within a tiny cage for a max of 1 hour per day, the rest indoors in 6ft by 8ft. He's comfortable with it because he is clothed/fed/housed for life.

And the TS situation. There's a hierarchy. First, if you are gay, best to admit it on day one. If you don't, you are in deep shit. If you do, it helps if you are happy to wear make-up, in which case you get advances from the other inmates, and a certain level of protection.

The TS people seemed to be one rung up. More respected. More desired. Gang leaders came out higher on the hierarchy, but that requires heavy duty bodybuilding for 25 hours a day.

There is one heck of a lot more, so I can thoroughly recommend the prog.

Caught the program too. T Oracle, didn't the "Debra" TS looked a lot like an older version of Jewel from back in the ShemaleCentral days?

It's a HOBBY not a lifestyle!
