This is Tara Hudson, she is beautiful.

She is also a guy. Tara, a 26 year old British transgender woman, was recently convicted and sent to prison for twelve weeks after admitting assault. Tara was sent to Her Majesty's Prison Bristol... an all-male prison.



140,000 people signed petitions, on her behalf, claiming that she had been placed in danger of sexual assault by Her Majesty's Government. Tara said in a BBC Radio interview, she was even put in a cell with an inmate, convicted of rape?

Tara had previously lost an appeal against her sentence, but the judge asked that consideration be given, as to where she served the remainder of her term. Fortunately for her, she was eventually moved.

I listened to Tara's interview, last week, on BBC Radio. Of course, the guys at work were laughing, especially when she stated that she was a bleached blonde, with very large augmented breasts. (She also said that she was bullied, into exposing them, for the warped gratification of her fellow inmates).

However, Tara also confirmed, to my relief, that not all of the male inmates abused her so. Some befriended her, helping her during her stay at HMP Bristol. To be honest, her story brought a tear to my eye... just from one human being to another.

And then, amidst the laughter and jeers... I smiled. I smiled because not many of you, realise this do you? We were all born female. Yep... you actually started out as a female. Dude.

Granted, you were conceived, as either male or female... but that wasn't fully determined until after five to six weeks passed by, during your stay, on the inside of your mom.

It is in fact, only then that the Y-chromosome, (male gene), arrives on the scene and takes over, imposing the attributes of a male. It then takes a further sixty days until testosterone kicks in, the hormone that starts the genetic activity in your balls and in the majority of cases, at least... your brain?

And for some strange reason, in the case of Tara Hudson (and many like her)... the dominant Y-chromosome simply refuses to activate, leaving the female attributes to persist in the body of a male.

Along my journey, crossing the bridge, I have often noticed this. Many of those, who shout the loudest, do so because they are not entirely sure of themselves in some way, or another? In my case however, I am entirely sure of myself, when I say this, to you...

This is Tara Hudson, she is beautiful.
