Ok, yall dont take this the wrong way, cause well..I love Stella to death and I have always appreciated her words...but, as the wife of a MP and a correctional officer, I gotta pipe in for a second. Unfortunantly, when it comes to any type of incarceration, even if its just a holding cell or anythiung. The governtment has to make a decision to put someone in a male cell, or a female cell. They dont have a third option yet. Maybe someday the governement will spend the money to build a third prision in each state, maybe not. Who knows. Until that time comes, they have to draw the line somewhere. Its a hard choice to make. Everyone I know in corrections hates having to make that decision, but unfortunanlty its one that still has to be made all the time. The Law draws the line at what ever is between a persons legs. They have to. They dont like it. It makes things difficult for everyone involved, but thats what happens. There has to be that line, and it has to stay that way for now. I have a feeling the problem didnt stem from what articles of clothing Stella was wearing, but the fact that her passports and paperwork state "female", when her anatomy still states "male", at least according to the guidelines set out by the governtment. Now, I have no idea what casued her to be put on the list to be held out, it could have been some custom workers personal grudge, it could have been her flight plan or the history of traveling to other countries lately. but once it was determined she needed to be held somewhere, things were going to get difficult. More than likely, the corrections officer who told her to put on male clothes, was probably in their own head trying to make things easier for her. They knew she was going to have to get placed with males, and for her to go in there dressed as a female might have casued problems...so somehow they thought they could fix that by giving her different clothes. I hope everything works out for her and please keep us updated.
