    So solitary confinement basically? I doubt the prisons are bursting with transgender inmates.

    Their safety would be a big issue in this kind of thing aye but I dunno if you can solve it by just throwing transgender into what ever prison suits them.

    She identifies as a woman and has went through considerable surgery to have organs that resemble female ones. Surely better, and safer, for her to be in a female jail, no? :39:

    I can understand the law's position though, unless you legally change your gender they treat you according to your birth one.

    What's stopping anyone from getting transferred to a female prison? If gender is optional then how will prisons determine the right from the wrong if everybody claimed to be a woman? Physically "she" is a man. I think that prisons are segregated by * and not gender, so this shouldn't be an issue.

    Well she's in jail for assault, not very lady-like is it and she wants to be moved to a female slammer?

    Nice * though, for a bloke

    at the same time, if she/he is moved to a female prison, this is no guarantee of safety either, they may take the seem issues to said person as a male jail would.

    Surely at 12 weeks (probably won't be that long anyway) he/she could be kept in solitary but with regular visitation and exercise rights? Sorted.

    Must say, some job by the doc

    I don't think she should be in prison at all. She's a changed man!

    It must have been a serious assault to be put in prison. I think she should be put in a woman's prison as I think very high risk of rape. Difficult on these situations but I just think on how she looks will really be a huge risk of violence and rape.

    Having gone through surgery to become a woman I think he should be treated as one and sent to a female prison. This isn't just a man in drag.

    She was born a man, but identifies as a woman. So she is a woman with a man's body and is undergoing the process of correcting that. Something not very many people understand and classify as delusional and strange. So she will have a lot more to fear in a man's prison, than just being raped, even though as a woman, you can still be raped by another woman in or be the victim of a hate crime, just the same.

    She committed a crime, but unfortunately is registered legally as a man - so she was legally placed in a man's prison. A friend of mine is going through a similar scenario and it is taking * ages to receive changed paperwork, so I imagine she may serve the majority of her time in that male prison.

    Serious question. Are transgender woman still as strong as the man they once were?

    When a man (to woman) has gender reassignment surgery, his hormones are placed on the same level as a (biological) woman, so he loses a lot of his natural strength he would have had as a man.

    That being said, there's nothing stopping her from gaining it back and then some. We've all heard of Ronda Rousey. :50:

    You realise gender and biological * are not the same thing. Gender is mental and doesn't always correspond to a person's biological *.

    For this woman to go to a men's prison would be ridiculous. If she is pre op then I can understand why people might be wary of her going to a female prison but the alternative of sending a woman to an all male prison is surely more horrifying?
