"The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it": In yet unprecedented problems created by woke culture, a transwoman shifted out of women’s prison in USA because ‘she’ impregnated two female prisoners

As per New Jersey policy of lodging convicts in prison as per their assumed gender, Demi Minor was kept in a women's jail even though 'she' had not undergone gender change, allowing 'her' to have sex with two female prisoners who became pregnant

In yet another example of unprecedented problems created by the woke culture in the west, a transwoman had to shift from a women’s prison in the United States of America because ‘she’ had impregnated two women lodged in the same jail. The incident happened at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey, where the jail authorities confirmed that the prisoner has been shifted to prison meant for men.

While the jail authorities didn’t reveal the reason behind shifting a ‘transwoman’ to a men’s jail, the same prisoner had come into the limelight earlier this year for making two women pregnant. In April 2022, it was found that two women incarcerated at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility — the state’s only female prison — have become pregnant after having consensual sex with a transgender inmate. The so-called transwoman prisoner is identified as Demi Minor (age 27). The two women ‘she’ bad impregnated are identified as Dimitrius Minor and Latonia Bellamy.

The Department of Corrections (DOC) informed that Demi Minor was earlier lodged in Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women and now, ‘she’ has been moved to Garden State Youth Correctional Facility, a prison for young adult offenders in Burlington County.

According to a report by the NJ News, Dan Sperrazza, a Department of Corrections spokesman told that Minor was sent to the facility’s most vulnerable section, where ‘she’ is currently the only ‘female’ prisoner on the premises. Sperrazza said he couldn’t comment on the DOC’s particular housing measures in Minor’s case due to privacy restrictions. According to DOC, Minor is serving a 30-year term for manslaughter and will be eligible for release in 2037.

‘She’ and ‘her’ counsel did not give any comment on the issue. However, according to a July 5 post on Minor’s website, DOC authorities forcibly pulled ‘her’ from Edna Mahan and assaulted ‘her’ while taking her to Garden State Youth Correctional Facility. This transfer was done three months after Minor impregnated two women during consensual sexual relationships in the women’s jail. The DOC stated that it cannot comment on the accusations but is investigating things.

On ‘her’ website, ‘she’ admitted that she had consensual sex with the two biological female prisoners, and alleged that they were separated after the two women became pregnant. Notably, consensual sex is not allowed in the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women.

An official statement regarding this read, “New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) cannot comment on any active investigations. The Department has zero tolerance for abuse, and the safety and security of the incarcerated population and staff are of critical importance.”

DOC spokesperson Dan Sperrazza also told, “The department is currently reviewing the policy for housing transgender incarcerated persons to implement minor modifications. The decisions related to an incarcerated person’s housing are made within the parameters of the settlement agreement which requires consideration of gender identity and the health and safety of the individual.”

When Demi Minor was sent to jail, she was a 16-year-old boy who was found guilty of murder and carjacking. Demetrius Minor had killed his foster father, 69-year-old Theotis Butts, in July 2011. He had pleaded guilty to the crime, along with a carjacking case in the same year. As a result, he was awarded a 30-year jail sentence. Demetrius Minor started to transition to a woman in jail in 2020, and thereafter ‘she’ was transferred from a male prison to Edna Mahan. She also changed her name from Demetrius to Demi to reflect her new assumed gender.

It is notable that while Demi Minor is a transwoman, she was able to impregnate two biological women. It means that ‘she’ is essentially a man identifying ‘himself’ as a woman but has not yet undergone any sex change surgery or treatment. Due to pressure from the LGBTQ+ movement, in several countries across the world and many states in the USA, trans people are allowed to assume a different gender without any physical or medical procedure to change their gender. This has created problems that were not seen earlier. Now men claiming to be women, without any physical change, can use women’s restrooms, are lodged in women’s prisons in case of conflict with the law, etc.

In 2021, New Jersey adopted a new policy under which it was decided that transgender convicted will be lodged in jails as per their chosen gender identity. Demi Minor was kept in the women’s prison under this policy. However, the state is already having second thoughts about this decision, as the New Jersey Department of Correction said that it intends to review and change the policy. The policy came up for review because it was implemented for only one year starting in June last year. While the nature of the change in the policy is now known yet, unions of prison officers are demanding that only those trans inmates should be allocated to jail based on their chosen gender those who have undergone gender reassignment procedures.

This demand intensified after the Demi Minor episode. William Sullivan, president of New Jersey Policemen’s Benevolent Association Local 105, which represents correctional police, said the union would prefer that transgender prisoner who is housed in women’s facilities should be taking gender transition medication. However, civil liberty groups are insisting on the continuance of the current policy, saying that keeping convicts based on their gender at birth could lead to discrimination, harassment, and violence.

Minor said that she was targeted by correctional officers

Minor, 27, complains that she was misgendered and abused by guards during the transfer and was even placed on suicide watch after she tried to hang herself while she was being transferred to GSCF. 

In a post on her Justice 4 Demi blog, Minor claimed that she was targeted by correctional officers, with one of them mocking her when she asked to be stripped and searched by a woman. In a separate post, she claimed she was beaten during the transfer.  

She said she was briefly held at New Jersey State Prison, where guards allegedly called her 'a he' over 30 times. 

Minor's case gained notoriety in April when the New Jersey Department of Corrections revealed that he had impregnated two fellow inmates at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility. 

The inmate also said that while she was allowed to keep her make-up, she knows wearing it 'is a death wish.' 

'I have accepted that I am in a male facility but I have not accepted nor will I ever agree to or accept that I am anything other than a woman who happens to be transgender,' Minor wrote. 

In a scathing blog post, Minor accused guards of mistreating her and threatening her. 

On one occasion, one guard told her 'I don't give a f*** what you do ….there is no camera here ... everyone here is man including you,' Minor alleged. 

Minor was briefly in the custody of the New Jersey State Prison, where she said other concerning incidents took place. 

'[The department of corrections] has violated my right to be safe and free from sexual harassment, by putting me in one of the most violent youths Correctional facilities,' Minor wrote. 

'While living here at GYSC, I have found myself under attack by young inmates who are immature and just plain ignorant towards a person like me.' 

Minor pleaded guilty to manslaughter and carjacking when she appeared in a New Jersey courtroom as a 16-year-old. She is serving a 30-year jail sentence

Minor said she has been removed from Edna Mahan 'as a punishment for what occurred over two months ago. 

'They have violated my right to be safe and free from sexual harassment, by putting me in one of the most violent youth correctional facilities,' she alleged.'

The trans inmate said she was also being attacked by 'ignorant' younger inmates,  

She said: 'On Saturday, I was in medication line when an inmate cut in front of me and said ''I am not standing behind no fag'.' The inmate th[e]n spit directly in my direction.' 

She accused the DOC of causing her irreparable psychological damage by exposing her to those triggering situations.  

'I don't know what it's like to live as a man, and I refuse to ever revert to such habits or behavior,' Minor wrote. 

Minor also complained that the facility has no air conditioning or cable and does not allow video visits or LGBTQ groups. 

' ... yet they said that I am here for safety no please understand that I am here for punishment, just the sad part is this punishment may kill me,' Minor complained. 

'Mentally I have not been myself and I am losing my essence. Demi, who wants to wear make-up and hang out with her friends is not permitted here. 

Minor was removed from Edna Mahan after it emerged that she had impregnated two inmates. 

The 800-inmate Mahan facility began housing transgender women – including those that have yet to undergo gender reassignment surgery – last year after a lawsuit brought by an inmate and the ACLU. It now has 27 trans prisoners.

A source familiar with the prison told DailyMail.com that cell doors are left open during recreation time, so inmates can theoretically use those periods to sneak into each other’s cells or slip into a bathroom for quickie sex. 

Minor was just 16 when she broke into Theotis Butts's home in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. 

Butts had taken her in as a foster child, but Minor was no longer living with him, according to a report at the time on NJ.com

She stabbed Butts, 69, several times and then fled to New York where she was arrested.  

She was also convicted of carjacking. She approached a couple – whose infant son was in their Pontiac Grand Prix at the time – and pointed a Glock .45 in the woman's face. The couple got their baby out of the car before Minor sped away with it.

Minor started to transition into a woman in 2020 and was transferred out of the male prison system to Mahan. 

Since being incarcerated, Minor has tried to turn her life around, becoming something of a jailhouse lawyer advocating for other prisoners, and representing her unit on the inmate liaison committee.
