Trans prisoner who impregnated two inmates at women's prison tried to remove testicle with razor
BURLINGTON COUNTY, NEW JERSEY: Demi Minor, a trangender inmate who impregnated two inmates at a women's prison, revealed that she ended up in the emergency room after she tried to remove her testicle with a razor.

The 27-year-old was moved from Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Union Township, NJ, to the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility in June. In her blog, Minor revealed that she started cutting again but in her head, she just wanted the pain to stop. The transgender prisoner is serving a 30-year sentence for stabbing her former foster father to death.

‘With a razor I begin making an incision to remove my testicle’
In her blog, Minor claimed that the staff at her new facility were unwilling to acknowledge or accommodate her gender identity. She said that she was mistreated at her new prison. "I began feel hopeless, and as if I was being ignored. I had already met with the central offices staff, who basically told me that I needed to prove to them that I was transgender," said Minor, adding, "I showed my medical records showing that I have been on hormones for years and awaiting gender affirming surgery (which they are delaying)."
Speaking about removing her testicle with a razor, Minor said, "I started cutting again, and with a razor I begin making an incision to remove my testicle. In my head, I just wanted the pain to stop. I just wanted out of this. THEY DON’T KNOW the hell that I am going through. Instead, if you have a penis, you deserve to be in a male prison."
She continued, "That is all central offices cares about. I have been diagnosed with gender dyphoria, and it makes me 5 times more likely to die by suicide. I hide these thoughts. I have often not told anyone how I truly feel, and how sometimes, I would rather not be here.” Minor was born a boy named Demetrius Minor. At 16, she broke into the home of her stepfather, Theotis Butts, in New Jersey. She reportedly stabbed her 69-year-old several times before fleeing to New York where she was arrested.
‘I went through many depressive nights’
In her blog, Minor further shared her plight about the struggles she had to face in the male prison saying she absolutely hates it. She added that she doesn’t want to think about the fight but that was the only thing keeping her alive. She also mentioned how she went through many depressive nights and often wanted to be loved. "Truthfully the one family that I had is at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility. It was a group of friends who helped me get through this pain, from being stuck in a body that I hate. I went through many depressive nights, and often wanted to be loved," she said, adding, "I simply never knew that it could have such devastating consequences. I blame myself, for the hatred that is now geared to my community, and those who I care about."
The transgender inmate further shared, "WHEN I BEGAN to bleed, I did not even think about dying. I just thought about finally having relief from the pain that I felt. Being here in a male prison, amplifies the harm that I once felt, from being called c**k sucker to being called fa**ot to be touched. I hate it all." She added, "Men come writing me letters asking for sexual things. I f***ing hate it. Yes, I do often think about giving up. I do think about not fighting this fight. Yet, this fight is the only reason why I am alive." "It’s the only thing that at times gives me the strength to push forward." she concluded.
