Well, Thomas, that is very interesting about Richard Speck. It definitely shows that he is sexually ambivalent, and that he MAY have taken hormones so that his breasts got larger. Some men who are overweight or aging do get slightly saggy breasts, however, especially if they do not exercise, so it would be hard to prove he took hormones. Even if he did, hormonal therapy is not expensive. However, he also refers to his black male lover as his "bitch". In prison terminology, this would indicate that he was dominant in the sexual relationship, penetrating the black man. And there is absolutely nothing to suggest that Speck has had any sort of sex change operation at all. So no, to me that is not proof in any way. I will say that it is thoroughly disgusting that he could kill all of those women and have a wonderful time in prison, having plenty of sex and drugs, however. Personally, I believe in the death penalty, and would support it wholeheartedly if I could be assured that poor and minority criminals are not being treated more harshly, statistically speaking, than white ones are. I think it needs to be really fairly administered.
