News & Current events Incarcerated criminals who are Trans, should have absolute right to HORMONE THERAPY 🏳️‍⚧️. However we should discuss the White supremacist hatred.

A 19 year old trans teenager, (who self identified himself as a neo-nazi and white supremacist), planned a mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois. He was quite racist to Indians, and displayed sadistic pleasure while describing his plan to shoot Indians. He drove to the temple with an AR rifle, 300 rounds of ammunition, and body armor.

Paporakis's rifle jammed during the attempt. He fled the scene and sent a video and text message to a co-worker explaining that the gun failed to fire and that he intended to fix it and retry. The co-worker alerted the authorities, leading to his arrest. Police and the FBI found an eight-page manifesto titled “Why I fought: A.K.A.: (Aurora Shooter's Manifesto)” containing white supremacist and anti-Indian sentiments, and items featuring Nazi symbols.

However, we believe that transgender rights are human rights. So despite the hateful act, we should uphold his right to HRT in prison. The judge ordered that Paporakis continue receiving gender-transition hormone injections while in jail, alongside medical treatment for ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

This person might be a trans woman, not man. I'm not American or do any kind of work in law so I'm not sure how to verify if this is the correct healthcare order. But if it's correct, the hormone treatment is estradiol, not testosterone

Does anyone know a way to verify this one way or the other? They're a horrid piece of trash regardless, but I feel to misgender one trans person due to their actions is to misgender us all

I was wondering pronouns because Fox News would definitely misgender someone if they knew.
