Thea Cox, a burglar caught stealing make-up and women’s clothes has been spared a prison sentence after a judge decided she had endured “a rotten life” as a transsexual.
Cox, 54, was originally given a suspended 12-week prison sentence for having an offensive weapon with her as she carried out four burglaries last year.
She returned to the same student flats this summer and carried out two further raids – on each occasion while wearing an electronic tag.
The court heard that Cox carried out her raids while "vulnerable" and suffering from severe anxiety.
Outside court the burglar, who was christened Timothy, blamed her life of crime on the public’s reaction to her change of sex 26 years ago.
“I have had a remarkable amount of abuse. I’ve been hit with sticks and stones and had a hand put up my skirt to check on my gender.
The court heard that Cox used a library card to open the locks of her victims’ flats. As well as stealing clothes and toiletries, she made off with alcohol and food.
Thea has obviously been through a hard time, where she has been forced to steal essentials such as food and toiletries instead of expensive gadgets, what type of post op care is given to these men and women who put themselves through this type of operation?
what jobs can they have where they are not going to be open for abuse from the ignorant members of the general public?
This was a desperate transexual who now has to re-build their life around the stigma of other people's prejudices, so how do you do that in a society where you need to work if you want to eat and clothe yourself properly and wear a bit of make up?
