A CONVICTED drug dealer has been granted permission to change his name and wear women's clothes in prison.

William Wallace, 35, told jail bosses he wanted to wear a dress and be called Cassie when he returns to Noranside open prison after Christmas.

Now Wallace, who is serving five years for dealing, has been given the go-ahead to become a transsexual behind bars.

He is thought to be the first Scottish prisoner to be given the right be a transsexual while serving a jail sentence.

to become a transsexual

My opinion is you are or you are not. Permission to be does not cause it to happen or lack of permission would mean it don't exist.  Oi, I need to get past this.

Yeah, if you're going to note with irritation everytime the general press don't get it right over something to do with transgender or transsexual issues ,it'll be a toss up whether the anger induced stroke or the rage induced anyurism gets you first...

Your right on that to a point.

I'm not talking about being misgendered. It is more of total ignorance and spreading wrong information making acceptance even  harder than it need be.

I wasn't talking about misgendering either
