German court rules cross-dressing prisoners okay

BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - Jailed transgender men and women in Germany will be able to wear whichever clothes they want after a court on Tuesday ruled that personal rights superseded security concerns when it comes to clothes.

An incarcerated transgender man first brought the suit to court because a state prison would not let him wear women's clothing as he had done before entering prison.

At least in the US, every prisoner I've seen wears a fairly unisex uniform.
Our biograhies are our own and we need to accept our own diversity without being ashamed that we're somehow not trans enough.
