No absolutely no clemency. Being transgender does not make you a protected class. You do the crime, you pay the price. He raped a 14 yo, raped and stabbed to death his ex-girlfriend as she left work. This was pre-meditated. Because you were abused, does not nullify your abusing, raping and murdering others. This person is irredeemable. Becoming transgender and confined to a female prison puts other inmates at grave risk of assault by someone with male sexual orders and male strength. He should get the death penalty, no leniency. His execution is no where near as barbaric as his rape of a 14 yo and the rape and stabbing murder of his ex.
