Thanks for watching, everyone! We appreciate these women for being true to themselves and brave enough to share their stories. Let's have a conversation about it and please keep your comments respectful.💋
How about they stay out of prison in the first place. Don’t do the crime and there’s no problem. I’ve never been arrested because I haven’t committed any crimes. Do you want to know why? Because I don’t want to go to prison! It’s not at at all taxing or difficult to be law abiding. 🤷🏽♀️
How are they giving gender reassignment in prison. When transgender women on the outside of prison cant even afford the procedure. Tax payer dollar at work
When I can't personally relate to something, I try to put myself in that person's shoes so that I'm not being judgemental or closed minded. I can't imagine being beat into acting like a boy. Your parents are supposed to be your first line of defense in this world. I saw beautiful spirits and resilient people in this video. I hope they serve their time and come out into a world that's a little more tolerant.
The comments are kind of disappointing. We have one of the worst prison systems because we focus on punishment and not rehabilitation as well. This was actually refreshing. They did do wrong but they deserve to be given an opportunity to change and better themselves too.
They all seemed like such nice ladies, it made me wonder how they could be in prison in the first place. I do think that it is of paramount importance that prisons should be safe. Incarceration is the punishment, not rape or assault. It bothers me when people lash out and say : "You know what will happen to you in prison. " The prison is enough.
I've always wanted to be female, if I'm honest. I doubt very much that I'd ever go for surgery though. It would break my heart to be ostracised like some trans people are. I fear that people wouldn't see me as a woman, that they'd avoid me because I don't look like a biological woman does. I fear that instead of looking like a woman, I'd look like a freak because I have some pretty masculine features. Good for these women though, I'm glad they got awarded the humanity to be their true selves. I hope they find peace in their lives, in and out of prison.
I understand this is prison. But, on the human side let these ladies be who they want to be. They should have their safe space and be supported. Live & let live! ☺️💐🌈💞🌸🌹
Honestly do as you like. We can all live on this planet, it is only when “certain people” project their views on others. Is when a problem arises. If America was just truthful and up front we wouldn’t have so much hate!! That’s Factz though
I appreciate this piece. Wasn't aware how painful life, people can be toward transgender individuals. Everyone should have a sense of self, acceptance, love.
I really appreciate this story and getting more insight on what life is like for transgender women in prison. I think we should hear more about these women's stories (how they ended in prison, their stories with their identity, life in prison, etc). I liked hearing about Jazzie's story and Yekaterina Wesa Patience's story
This helped me understand a lil bit more about transgender people not everything but a lil better. Because my mind has been geared one way and it has always confused me.
It comes down to what you love so keep on loving people cause it ain't over till it's over just remember there are no mistakes only lessons we always learning something stay strong and be safe love Miss Suzy
California prisons and correctional officers are breaking the California Penal Code when they house transgender women in with male inmates. California Penal Code, Section 422.56 (c) states that: "(c) “Gender” means sex, and includes a person’s gender identity and gender expression. “Gender expression” means a person’s gender-related appearance and behavior whether or not stereotypically associated with the person’s assigned sex at birth." Thus when transgender women are housed with men in a California prison, and since the law also states that persons are to be housed with persons of the same sex, the Penal Code is being broken by the correctional officers. Why aren't the correctional officers being prosecuted for their flagrant violation of the law??
I’m trans and and what I notice from some of them is they’re behavior and body language is so man like. How did they know they were trans when they lacked femininity in they’re behavior. Excuse my ignorance like I said I’m trans so I’m not coming from a bad place just wondering.
We need to give them their own prisons. Five or six states could share there closed prisons all over USA which could be used. I been an inmate and I'm 100 percent straight and I think it's weird when straight gays do gay stuff and use prison as an excuse, to me they gay but I always respect everyone. Prison I was at had transgender women and I would call them She but alotnof guys would call them other dergortery names. My "neighbor" she was transgender and she would borrow items and always pay back plus extra on canteen day. She was nice and I would see all type of males who should be preaching on yard and then paying her on canteen day.......I wonder why.lol... I also saw a Tran woman lay out 2 southsiders
just imagine getting hated for wanting to live your life by people who don’t agree.. the people who don’t agree can literally leave them alone , but instead y’all just try to make their life hard when it doesn’t have to be ...
I would love to hear about their crimes too. I feel for anyone who lives in fear but if ur in fear because u landed urself in jail/prison...Idk how much sympathy I can have.
Being Transgender myself if I did a crime enough to have to go to prison I would think since I am legally female I would go to a woman's prison. That may not be the case. I know I would have to do the time for whatever I did. I can see how CIS Gendered people who have no sympathy for Transgender people in Prison do not understand at all what struggles they all had just to be themselves. I made my decision 2 1/2 years ago to Transition to female. I chose to live my life the way I wanted to and stop hiding and or fighting the loss of possible everything just to have the chance to be myself. I don't ask for your pity, but until you are in a Transgender persons situation you will always be upset with them. Wait till your friend close to you comes out Transgender, how would you feel then being so against it. Will you mind change then or will you drop them like a hot potato like your doing to these woman. Definitely was an eye opener and I would even be willing to reach out to one of them and see about arranging a meet up with the group so I can understand first hand how difficult life is. For my own perspective of how life is in and out of prison. This moved me and all the haters out there who take the time to read this and respond thank you in advance for taking the time to respond and share your hate. This is 2020, times have changed, get over it.
Why do transgender women live in a man's prison? That's crazy!!! Every transgender woman I've ever saw actually acted female so why put them in this position. Put them in the woman's prison but put them together. There is a way around it. I feel sorry for them...

But what did they do in order to be locked up tho?
Prison ain't a spa to accommodate anybody.
Right?
Taxpayers paying the bill for reassignment surgery. Not appropriate.
Reg. women's prison don't even get to wear make up and work out with actual gym equipment..
Good for them. Wonder if their victims are getting the same sympathy and psychological help.
Victims? They are probably in there for drugs and other BS charges
LOL
Why do you assume they all had victims
How about not going to prison,
This is a crazy world. Lol.
Prison is tough for everyone...why are they now acting like the world owes them.One doesn't just slip & fall into jail!
How about they stay out of prison in the first place. Don’t do the crime and there’s no problem. I’ve never been arrested because I haven’t committed any crimes. Do you want to know why? Because I don’t want to go to prison! It’s not at at all taxing or difficult to be law abiding. 🤷🏽♀️
Do they even have makeup in womens prison??
Prison is punishment period
How are they giving gender reassignment in prison. When transgender women on the outside of prison cant even afford the procedure. Tax payer dollar at work
Buddy reminds me of key from key and peele
Everyone has a right to be protected
It doesn't matter where you are in life.

Do women get makeup? I would think so but I hear so much about them creating their own makeup
They need to have their own prison, so they can be safe; period!
What a scary existence....
The comments are kind of disappointing. We have one of the worst prison systems because we focus on punishment and not rehabilitation as well. This was actually refreshing. They did do wrong but they deserve to be given an opportunity to change and better themselves too.
They should built a new wing to accommodate transgenders. That way no one is put in these uncomfortable situations.
They in prison not on vacation.
Jail isn't supposed to be a spa it's for punishment not to make you comfortable. Da fuk lol
They already do that in some prisons
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"transgenders" isn't a word. It's transgender people.
Never seen a prison like that before. Wish i could go to a free exercise class.
So why don't they separate them
Trans women locked up with straight men?! Lawd 😳
Some look like a natural born women. I don’t think there’s anything wrong of someone chooses to be male/female. Doesn’t bother me.
Its the trembling in the singing at the beginning for me.
America!
*United States of _Murica_
You should never go to jail or prison for drug charges just sayin
Why the light skinned tall one look like Kegan Michele Keeye when he dress as a woman
Awww I hope they are well protected as a Transwoman I can imagine how vulnerable they are
I was born a female
I identify as
an elephant.
I just love elephants so much I want people to call me elephant
(No disrespect to trans people.)
Why they should not be in a womans prison
They all seemed like such nice ladies, it made me wonder how they could be in prison in the first place.

How committing a crime in prison is even possible? Why is this allowed?
All i could do is think is thats sad...as a str8 man...to me i view it like a hormonal defect i dont judge i got kids....

They should have safety
Also children convicted as adults....
Every citizen deserves safety. Rape is bad.
They seem to have great spirits
THEY MUST BE IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY????? IF NOT THEY GONE!
Lol
I never get to see other trans women enough in any form of media, so thank you for this.
To all my girls,
Walk with your head up high.
Love
Ms Jaida Merlot
Remember your beautiful you have people that believes in you accept you
I work here .. they are great people❤

Older Trans women are the kindest and most wise human beings you'll ever meet.
they deserve to live happy too just like anyone in this world
Wow! Never thought about this before. I thought they would be in a women prison if they had sex change surgery.
Here all these Cali Prison channels, THIS doesn't exist smh...All those dudes be lying

I happy for them no judgement here
just imagine getting hated for wanting to live your life by people who don’t agree.. the people who don’t agree can literally leave them alone , but instead y’all just try to make their life hard when it doesn’t have to be ...

do they need pen pals
They should be in women’s prison in my opinion
They look good to.
Should we, as as society, forego identifying our children as male or female at birth to allow them to choose for themselves once they're of age?
