A prison guard called him "son." 

That crime against humanity earned a double rapist a sniveling apology from the prison governor, who apparently is afraid that in Scotland, misgendering a transgender person is a hate crime.

We live in bizarre times. 

Adam Graham, the double-rapist in question, helped bring down Scottish PM Nicola Sturgeon, who insisted that he be put in a women's prison. The outrage was so intense that it helped lead to her stepping down, and Graham wound up in a male prison despite claiming to be a woman. 

A prison governor has apologised to double rapist Isla Bryson after the trans sex offender complained after being called 'son'.  

The trans sex offender, named Adam Graham until 2020, was convicted of raping two women prior to transitioning.

Bryson was initially put in female-only prison Cornton Vale but was later placed within the male prison HMP Edinburgh, in what was an embarrassing U-turn for former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. 

Now, writing from a cell, Bryson has written a grumbling letter to the Sunday Mail claiming to be a victim of 'transphobia' within the prison.

The rapist also moaned of being a hate crime victim after prison guards banned the offender from wearing makeup.  The 32-year-old from Clydebank, who bragged about having a female voice and breasts.

Long gone are the days when civilized people were indifferent to the fact that a brutal double rapist was upset by the words of prison guards. Now, using the wrong pronouns or not putting out mascara for their use is a potential hate crime, and prison wardens are required to write out sniveling apologies. 

And newspapers avoid "deadnaming" them, as if using their real names is cruel and unusual punishment. 

Natalie Beal, governor of HMP Glenochil, reportedly wrote a letter to Bryson apologising that one of her staff had called the sexual predator 'son' by mistake, adding that the officer might not have realised Bryson was trans.

It is not the first time that Bryson has hit out at the prison for being 'transphobic.

In July the offender said in another letter: 'I'm not doing too good because of abuse from the staff members, all because I am transgender, and other prisoners too.

'This jail is full of transphobic people. The police are involved because of the abuse to do with my gender. People won't stop being transphobic.'

HE IS A RAPIST. No doubt he and countless other prisoners are having a laugh at the expense of everybody else. It is probably the most entertaining thing they have going right now--yanking the chains of the woke Scottish government and the prison system.

I am old fashioned; I think rapists deserve whatever punishment that is meted out to them. It's beyond absurd that a man who denied the very humanity of his victims can make the prison system pirouette at his whim. Whinging about pronouns and makeup gets him a written apology? 

How about a week in the hole?
