True story. I got lucky. The last time I saw him, he confronted me outside a building and tried to get me to leave and have coffee with him. I didn't know then, but he had two dead bodies in his basement.

There were 458 dangerous offenders as of April 2011 in Canada. Guess how many of those were female?! Hint: under 5 I know of 5 dangerous offenders off the top of my head who identify as women right now.

So I knew trans prisoners in women's prisons was a problem, but I didn't realize how many women were directly impacted as a result. In the last two days, I've been contacted by 20 women across Canada. They are thanking me for asking them questions. No one else bothered. 😭

So 50% of the transfer requests in Canada are from sex offenders. The stats from the USA and the UK show the same thing. Are men pretending to be trans, or are trans women disproportionately sex offenders? Which one is it?

Angela Valentino born Wayne Bruce Stovka, incarcerated in Grand Valley Prison for Women, threatened me. AV is out in 4 months & I have that amount of time to remove what I've said online or AV will sue me. AV has more money & friends than me & I will regret it apparently.

I had a conversation with an ex-guard who used to lock me up. 🤦‍♀️🤣 She says they were forced to strip males who identified as women even when they had erections. How many women are stripping these males against their will for fear of losing their jobs?

It made the 6 pm news, but they didn't use my interview and didn't mention why we wanted the policy changed.
