   There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  It's nothing   
   but bullshit liberal evasion of mental illness.   
      
   HARTFORD, Conn. –  A troubled transgender girl whose   
   imprisonment in Connecticut without criminal charges raised an   
   outcry among her advocates escaped from custody Tuesday, state   
   officials said.   
      
   The teenager has been moved several times since a judge in April   
   ordered her to be imprisoned at the request of the Department of   
   Children and Families, who said she was too violent to remain in   
   their custody.   
      
   The teenager, most recently held at a facility for delinquent   
   boys, escaped while attending her first day at a therapeutic   
   program, according to an agency statement. It said police and   
   department staff were working to locate her.   
      
   "We are hopeful we can quickly find her so that we can continue   
   to engage her in the treatment programs that can help her heal   
   from the many traumas she has experienced," the agency said.   
      
   The teenager has suffered sexual abuse and has a range of mental   
   health needs, according to her attorney. The child advocate's   
   office says her life has been marked by years of institutional   
   or hospital care. The agency has identified her only generically   
   as Jane Doe.   
      
   Since April, she has been relocated to several different   
   detention facilities amid allegations she assaulted others and   
   an outcry from supporters over the conditions of her confinement.   
      
   In May, she was moved from a mental health unit to another   
   building at York Correctional Institution in East Lyme, where   
   advocates had complained she was subject to solitary confinement   
   that was damaging to her mental state. The Department of   
   Children and Families denied she was in solitary confinement.   
      
   In June, she was moved to the Albert J. Solnit Children's   
   Psychiatric Center, a Children and Families-run facility in   
   Middletown.   
      
   In July, she was moved to Connecticut's juvenile home for boys   
   after she was accused of assaulting another youth and a staff   
   member. She was in a single room separated from the other   
   residents at the Children's Psychiatric Center, the state's only   
   secure facility for delinquent boys.
