More on “Jessica Marie” Hann from March 2019:

Desert Hot Springs, California. Jason Michael Hann was convicted of senselessly murdering his infant daughter and son, and abandoning their bodies in storage units. At the time of his arrest, he was found to be subjecting a third infant, his son, to life-threatening harm. Now on death row, the 45-year-old serial baby killer says he identifies as a woman, and is demanding that the state of California approve him for gender-affirming surgery to supplement the bras, makeup and hair-styling tools he is permitted to use.

In 1999, Mr Hann was living in Vermont with Krissy Lynn Werntz, the mother of his children, when he beat their infant son, two-month-old Jason, to death. Two years later, he killed the couple’s daughter, ten-month-old Montana, with a blow to the head while the family was residing in California.

The murders were discovered in 2002, a year after the murder of his daughter. Mr Hann had quit paying rent on a storage trailer in Arkansas in which he had stashed Montana’s small body. When the contents of the unit were auctioned off, the auction winner discovered the child’s remains, which were wrapped in plastic and duct tape and enclosed in a Tupperware-like storage container.

I guess that’s what you do when you kill your baby? A two month old baby doesn’t take up much space, so a plastic refrigerator box will be just fine. It’s a good idea to keep paying the storage fee though.

When law enforcement went to arrest the couple, who were now living in a motel in Portland, Maine, they discovered that Mr Hann and Ms Werntz had a one-month-old son who was already showing serious signs of abuse, including a dozen broken ribs, retinal hemorrhaging, bleeding under the skin and internal injuries.

A day after the couple’s arrest, authorities discovered Jason’s plastic-wrapped body in a storage unit in Lake Havasu, Arizona.

Whatever. Anyway, he’s a laydee now, so he gets to make a laydee do his strip searches. You can’t expect him to let a man do it can you?!

    She stayed with him for two years after he murdered their first child? That can’t have been much fun. :-(

    And had at least 2 more children with him…I guess that’s why they arrested her, too.

    She provided them so that he could kill them. Interesting setup.

    There was a time, in The Criminal Code of Canada, when “Infanticide” could be committed only by the *woman* who whelped the babby.

    There must have been a mistake somewhere. I have been repeatedly informed that trans women simply aren’t a threat. Who do i see to have this corrected?

    Ugh, what an episode of of Storage Wars that must have been.

    The mind boggles.

    Also,

    As of March 13, the death penalty is suspended in the state of California. On Wednesday, Governor Gavin Newsom denounced the death penalty system as “ineffective, irreversible and immoral,” and signed an executive order granting a reprieve to all 737 inmates who are on death row in the state. The reprieve will last as long as the governor holds office.

    “Death Row” doesn’t mean what it used to, apparently. I guess now it means “Special Protection.” If California wanted to hasten this fellow’s demise, they would just release him into the general population.

    Sounds like a horrific fetish to me.

    Maybe this guy can run for governor of California, too!

    I hope it was clear that I didn’t mean “interesting setup” entirely literally.

    I think it’s more likely that the wife was completely cowed/terrified and believed his promises that “it won’t happen again.” He may even have believed them himself.

    And he may also believe he is, and has always been, a woman. While predators constantly lie to others, they can also lie to themselves. I never assume criminals like Hanns must be faking it. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter.

    Yes, of course.

    Yes. Exactly. It doesn’t matter. I think that some of the tamer Gender Critical people don’t get this, or maybe they are just afraid to say it. So they say things like: “Yes, of course, a small number of people really do experience gender dysphoria, and those people really are trans, and should be treated as the opposite sex. When I argue against letting transpeople identify into opposite-sex space [OK, really they mean letting men into female space], I mean the whole host of other trans people, the ones that don’t really experience dysphoria.”

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen stuff like that. But, as Sastra said, no, it doesn’t work that way; it shouldn’t matter if you “really” “identifiy as” the opposite sex or not.
