Australian serial killer Paul Denyer recently filed a request for information about Australia’s policy on sex changes for inmates, and the misogynist killer may be looking to have a sex change in order to be reassigned to a woman’s prison. But the government the government denied his request and is looking to block future Freedom of Information requests by Denyer.
Denyer was convicted of killing three women in the early 1990s, and told police that he committed the crimes because he hated women.
He has previously asked to wear women’s makeup, but has been blocked from doing so by prison officials. In that case, taxpayer-funded Legal Aid organization helped Denyer file a gender identity discrimination complaint against the government, but that claim was ultimately rejected.
