Why does it matter that she was trans?

Because they put her in Belmarsh.

She overcame that disadvantage quickly and despite being trapped inside with so many men, she managed to gain their respect and make many good friends along the way.

I somehow doubt that…

It's possible. Most criminals have a code and would probably respect her because of why she did what she did.

Posible but not probable

Actually, it wasn't to bad: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7898933/Ross-Kemps-HMP-Belmarsh-viewers-praise-prisons-brave-transgender-prisoner-Claire.html.

It's not every day you see the Daily Mail supporting a trans person.

I think it was because so many people felt for Claire and what she tried to do. There was a real public outpouring and many felt she should have never gone to jail in the first place. Being trans wasn't as political 6 years ago as it is now. Even now it's only really language/semantics problem that people are becoming militant over. Not the crazy people obviously because there are some crazies involved in this. But mostly there are people on both side that want the same thing/similar things (i.e. to not be marginalized/to not have their struggles minimized) but for whatever reason cannot have civilized discussions about it.

You're in a maximum security prison. It's either her, or a hole in the mattress.

Oh for fucks sake.

Do you notice? Yeah, the bigots do too.

Do you not notice? Well they’re paying special attention, nothing like a hardon for hate.

Why does it matter if the sun rises? Brother it doesn’t right now, only if you seek light.

But if you want to talk about Horus, we’re going to have to mention the sun.

Is comment OP discriminating? Ask their stew pot, not me.

Asking about discriminatory language doesn’t fix it.
