ILLINOIS - The headlines all over the state this week are as vomit-inducing as the actual situation.
Check this out:
Chicago Reader: "Trans woman Strawberry Hampton reports continued assaults while detained at men’s prisons"
WGN: "Illinois transgender inmate gets rare transfer to female prison"
Blavity: "Illinois Inmate Strawberry Hampton Finally Transferred To Women's Prison After Long Legal Battle"
BuzzFeed: "The Plight of Trans Women in Prison"
New York Times: "Transgender Woman Cites Attacks and Abuse in Men's Prison"
Of course, all of those are left-leaning libwhack sites that are ginning up the current battle cry for "inclusiveness," while the rest of us hard-working, sensible slobs are actually funding the nonsense generating the headlines.
The bottom line is this: Deon Hampton, 27, is a man who "thinks" he's a woman. In this sick world in which we live these days, that's calls "trans," as in "transsexual." As in a condition that as recently as when Deon was born, it was considered a mental illness for which there was really no treatment except to just let the thing be the thing it wanted to be, and too bad for the thing if people made fun of it/he/she/whatever.
Fast-forward to 2018, and all of a sudden, this particular illness is a protected class, with all the attendant "special treatment" that comes with it. Guy thinks he's a girl, dresses like one, still has guy's junk? Gets to go in the girl's bathroom/locker room/whatever, freaking people out...and opening the way for predators to "pretend they're women (in their brains) too!" so they can go in the restroom with YOUR daughters/granddaughters/little sisters, etc. It's a fraud that's been perpetrated upon the public since the second term of Obama, and it's an obamanation that should never have happened, but here we are.
And now, the biggest fraud of all has been perpetrated upon the people of Illinois, because now, yours-mine-and-our tax dollars are paying for it. Because Deon, now known as "Strawberry" for whatever reason, is sitting in Logan Correctional Center for Women in Lincoln, Illinois, with women, as it's a women's prison. Note I did not say "other women," because Deon isn't a woman. Like I said - and like most of mainstream media is ignoring, because they don't want to hurt anyone's widdle feewings - he's a man who WANTS to be a woman. He has never had gender reassignment surgery; he's "thought he was a female" since the age of 5 (ye gads); and has been taking hormones to change his appearance since 2016.
How he managed to get all this done and still get into a life of crime seems beyond many, but he did: He's a Cook County crim with a 2009 Class X Home Invasion Causing Injury conviction, a Class 2 Burglary conviction that same year, and a 2014 Class 1 Residential Burglary conviction (maybe he was looking for some pretty dresses and bling to go with some new heels, who knows.) And for the past several years now, he's been transferred around and around Illinois men's prisons - including Lawrence Correctional Center - because he claims he's mistreated and abused in all of them. He whines that he's been called "fag, gay, thing and it" (um...because he IS), whines because the inmates and COs make fun of him and in a couple of locales, forced him to commit sexual acts (it's prison...where is this NOT the norm...?) and he even tried to commit suicide at one point. Which is sad, but, you know...so is prison. Don't commit a crime, and you won't end up there. You can do all the drag shows you want and behave similarly with the guys of your choice as a free man....thing...tranny...whatever. What's so different about being locked up, right, except breathing free air...? Everything else is pretty much the same.
Except Deon prevailed with his whining, and now, he's sitting in prison with a bunch of women, some of them quite butch, and those ones don't take too kindly to a man who wants to be a woman. These are women who look, act, think and sound like men. Does Deon believe that his "Strawberry" persona is going to now win friends and influence people there?
Who knows. We'll have to see if he whines some more and gets sent somewhere else. The clearest likelihood here is that he just doesn't want to be in prison, and he's using his mental illness to the full regarding that. And apparently he can't be put into the care of the Department of Human Services, where he'd be a little safer...because that's where Illinois Department of Corrections puts their people with mental illnesses...and now, being a tranny doesn't qualify you as having a mental illness...so you can see the state's conundrum here. Which they've brought upon themselves.
The fact that he's still listed as "male" (see above) in his inmate profile is at least heartening where IDOC is concerned. Apparently some of the COs and others who were involved in his "abuse" are having to undergo "sensitivity training" so as to offset some of the behaviors displayed toward the mentally-ill Deon. Another fine expenditure of your tax dollars.
So let's get this straight here: Deon Hampton is a man. He started "living as" a girl at age 5 and no one stopped him. He became a hardened criminal at age 21 and his punishment didn't take. He's taken female hormones for the past couple of years and has altered his appearance so as to look like a female, but didn't stop his criminal conduct, and is now boohooing because his fellow inmates have about as much sympathy for him as I, and a couple of million other people, truth be told, do. And we, the taxpayers of Illinois, are now paying for his male rear to sit in a women's prison.
And people wonder why there's a mass exodus out of Illinois. At this rate, all that's going to be left here are the freaks and those who support them....and maybe that's a good idea, since they're destined for failure, as there really are very, very few, and maybe, just maybe, they'll all self-destruct and leave something of the Land of Lincoln for those of us leaving to come back to someday.
