Bio-Mom.

 "I'm the biological mother, this is my wife."  How hard is that?  Says everything an outsider to the family needs to know, without pretending away the science.  They'll wonder, if you have more than one, if the children share the same donor, but won't ask.

People are naturally curious.  #BraveNewWorld  #ScienceAndHonesty

Meanwhile, in the women's jail, two inmates have allegedly been impregnated by a third...  (Think about it:  if true, somebody was scientifically misclassified... with consequences.  Keep thinking if you weren't good at biological science... It'll come to ya.) 

Years ago, a separate cell -- to protect the intact transgender from the male population -- was the preferred treatment in many smaller counties -- I remember interviewing a local jailer about this up in Barron.  (Something about isolating an alligator for the alligator's protection too... he told me.  I never used the quote.)

But I guess that idea of separate, but functionally equal facilities, went south when the not-yet-transman/then BigGirl in high school demanded equal access to the boys john.  And won in court for the "right" to be treated like their head told them, not their current reproductive parts.

So... pregnant "men" and male inseminators housed with the female inmates.  This is not social progress, people.  (Best case scenario?  The pregnant ladies are lesbians who found a cheap sperm donor.)

The correctional facility began to house transgender women - including those that have yet to undergo gender reassignment surgery - last year.

That came as part of a settlement following a lawsuit brought by a trans woman and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Jersey. 

ACLU legal director Jeanne LoCicero defended on Tuesday the policy, saying it ensured the rights of trans prisoners were not violated. 

'[It's] in line with New Jersey's strong anti-discrimination laws that prevent discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender identity,' she told local news outlet
