Turkey, DAF - Meydan #23 - "Pink Prisons' State of Trans
Policy" - Narcissus Sen (tr) [machine translation]

Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag, the last one off against LGBT individuals in April 
"Independent Prison" project was announced that he maintained, had created a new agenda. 
---- Today, this project will relax you a little bit for LGBTI individuals living in 
isolation in solitary confinement in prisons, such as male and female wards that the 
remains can not be trans are kept in solitary confinement and as advocates saying they can 
not go along with the other prisoners, even ventilation; this project has LGBTI -We for 
individuals in all areas-which was to marginalize and isolate opposed to saying it would 
strengthen. Tens of thousands of people participated in the survey, project a positive 
ministers head height difference (about 4%) had completed ahead. Months passed ...

Pink Prison

In November, Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag, Izmir's Aliaga, "Turkey's first transgender 
women in prison" announced that he would set up. Prepared by the Ministry of Justice said 
it was a matter of approving the bill on the parliamentary sub-committee at the moment.

Even the previous government of the State Minister for Women and Family Affairs 
"homosexuality is a disease," said state, nor did he become a time of much trans think, 
"pink prison" has decided to open? Trans physical in prison with the establishment of a 
separate prison - psychological - that prevent sexual abuse really believe or think they 
can convince me of?

Just 14 years ago, this time of year by the state "Operation Return to Life" moment of 
realization prison massacre was still fresh in the name; pink prison "Trans to treatment 
Operation" Who will do such a guarantee?

This "trans stands for" what will be the bottom?

Prisons, captivity, though sufficiently negative closure, under another asshole is spoken 
in the days of the project we are sure will further be, a law went well. "Is this land 
trans prisoners have enough to fill the prisons to be opened in Aliaga?" States asking 
yourself the question, the answer is found a way to positively translator. New "hay?s?zca 
movements law" respects, will find many excuses to close comfortably trance. A kind of new 
laws that were removed for the new prison. Crime was created, prisons planned, diagnosis 
trances. A new "offender profile" has been created, you're done.

There is a story we are familiar with from a period of Kemal Sunal movies. The location is 
a remote village in Kurdistan, especially when pre-80. The villagers want to come to the 
state of the village. State means, electrical means water; hospitals, schools , roads nor 
means though. Then one day the state revenues. Then, military papers, tax debts, bills, 
obligations ... The State recognizes the village, but do not recognize the fan.

A hapishaneyl to be established in Izmir, the state does not count the years, murdered by 
a sort of trance "promote". To marginalization suffered in prison "resolve" has designed a 
special prison for trans. As was the case with Kemal Sunal films, this time introducing 
trance state, but they did not recognize the fan.
