A TRANSSEXUAL prisoner is hitting back at prison authorities who refuse to let him wear women's clothing.
Adelaide Remand Centre inmate Leslie "Krista" Richards has complained to the Commissioner for Equal Opportunity and the Ombudsman, alleging discrimination by being placed in a male prison.
Correctional Services has refused to let Richards, 61, wear women's clothing since being arrested in May last year - despite the fact he was allowed to wear a dress and make-up when an inmate at Mobilong Prison between 1994 and 1998.

Huh. Fascinating. I always think of Australia as some far off fairy tale...
Things change all the time. Gotta fight in prison, that's the impression I get.
