A court case unfolds as three inmates clash over allegations of transphobia and abuse in prison, revealing deep tensions and personal struggles.
They say another inmate, Jayney Sutherley, has been bullying them for years. Sutherley, who also has a violent past, is accused of calling them hurtful names.
Stewart, who has been living as a woman since 2016, shared her emotional struggles in court. She described feeling suicidal due to Sutherley’s taunts.
It all started back in 2019 when Sutherley moved to their wing. Stewart recalled how Sutherley would often use offensive terms and misgender her, which really hurt.
Stewart and Fee became a couple in late 2019, but Sutherley continued her harassment. Stewart said Sutherley would mock them, calling them “the trannie and the beast.”
Things got worse during a karaoke night when Sutherley made a comment about Stewart singing a Shania Twain song, which felt like a jab at her identity.
In court, Stewart explained how Sutherley’s comments made her feel belittled and angry. She tried to brush it off, but it was tough.
Another inmate, Lynnette Greenop, testified that she never saw Sutherley make transphobic remarks. The trial is ongoing, and it’s clear there’s a lot of tension among these women.
Fee is serving a long sentence for her role in a tragic case, while Sutherley is also facing serious charges. It’s a complicated situation that’s still unfolding.
