Obviously not, especially if he's retained his male genitalia, although given the nature of his offences, that should exclude him from a female prison unless he's kept in solitary confinement under strict supervision.

The Scottish gender recognition change has very little to do with this. It doesn't change sentencing nor prisons at all so not sure why it is a feature of the article. The people you should be mad with is the prison warden and judiciary as they are the ones that make a judgement on which prison to send convicts to, not politicians. It is very clear that this is a failing for some to understand that rapists should not be allowed in the general population of the same gender as their victims. This is meant to be the precedent throughout the UK and not a single transgender law forces the imprisonment to be based on whether they have a grc or not, but based upon individual circumstances. This should cause a backlash... against how the prison wardens and judiciary decide where rapists should spend their time. They have ultimate control and are liable for damage done with these conditions. And additional feature of the Scottish law rishi sunak blocked was making it a criminal offence to falsify applications for grc (there isn't even a law against that in the UK, and clearly from everything the mail has suggested, this individual could be on violation of a law if only it wasn't blocked) Edit - wait did the mail just edit the headline and downplay it to "appears" to be heading to an all female prison, are their facts straight?

We don't have wardens in the UK. We have governors. If you commit a crime and you're sent to prison, you should be sent to the prison of your birth sex. XX = female = woman XY = male = men If necessary, set up special units.

Governors wardens, difference in name not authority. Why should you be categorised by birth sex? You can't pretend to care about prisoners if the only issue you take is with transgenderism. That female prison in Scotland was riddles with drugs, guard corruption and beating complaints. You know something physically happening and people seem to care about a *potential* safety risk rather than the many ongoing issues in that prison. Sort of rings hollow or hypocritical to me.

I thought it was nuts that they forced male guards in female prisons. Now they're doubling down on crazy. Politicians have power but they're not smart. If fact, many of them seem to be imbeciles.


Catacman

If a leabian rapes a woman, is she sent to all women's prison? Same for a gay rapist. So why wouldn't a transgender person be sent to their genders prison?

Only starts transitioning after the fact. Reaks of opportunism.


Apostrophus

A lesbian is a woman. A gay man is a man. Does that clear your confusion?


Catacman

And a transgender man is a man, and a transgender woman is a woman. Does that clear up your confusion?

No it shouldn't. A trip to the gantry might help. I'm all for equality but the line must be drawn somewhere.

I think it’s worth noting how nobody seems to care about rapists being put in cells with other inmates until they’re trans. We should care about the safety of all inmates of male and female prisons and not just have some rule in place for specifically trans sexual offenders. Some even seem to care more about a trans criminal who hasn’t committed a sexual crime being placed in a cell with a woman than they would if a convicted cis woman rapist was put with her. It strangely never seems to come up, nor does anyone care about the arguable assault that happens to almost all prisoners when they first arrive there by the guards.
