Of Pronouns and Sentences

More than half of people change their names at least once in their lives, and many of the rest are known by nicknames or what have you. So Tara Hudson is Tara Hudson. I have no problem with that.

But I have every possible problem with the suggestion that a violent offender with male genitalia might be sent to a women's prison.

And as female prisoners, even those in an institution deemed appropriate to Hudson's offence, are entitled to protection from prison rape, so, too, are male prisoners.

If it is not just part of doing the time for the crime in the first case, then nor is it in the second.
