Spoiler: The inmate was sent there despite not having had gender reassignment surgery. It is claimed she was visibly aroused when she allegedly assaulted the first inmate. She was originally sent on remand to New Hall women’s prison after a judge heard how she had been living as a female for more than two years. The alleged attacks will reignite the debate over whether transgender prisoners should be sent to women’s jails before they have had surgery. The latest figures show there were 125 transgender prisoners in England and Wales at the end of March 2017, up from 70 a year earlier. At the moment transgender women can only legally change their gender on their birth certificate if they have been medically diagnosed with gender dysphoria and have lived as a woman for two years. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/680443...orkshire-jail/ Last edited by Niamh.; 18-07-2018 at 09:55 AM.

This person has foregone the right to be referred to as "she". If they're going to put people with penises in a women's jail, they need to be separated.

Prisons need to be segregated by sex otherwise you're putting women at risk so imo transwomen shouldn't be put in womens prisons unless they've had the surgery(and vice versa but it's obviously a bigger issue here for women than men)

No that's true. But this person has entered a women's jail while still having a penis. I'm sorry but that will not do. Women's safety needs to be a priority and this case is proof of that.

i think if they have had surgery been living as a woman for years and had a letter proving they had gender dysphoria i don't see the problem but if you haven't had surgery it isn't fair on the other jailmates and this is coming from a trans person myself

i just know what people say and what people are like especially towards others who may be different from themselves and are minorities as a lot of the time people see one persons bad actions as a portrayal of everyone within that minority group i guess i just wanted to shut it down before it started

I think I read/heard somewhere that transwomen assault women at the same proportionate rate as other males do?
Maybe Vicky might know more about that because it seems to be in her wheelhouse. I think I got it from a Magdalen Berns video, who said it as if everyone knows, and I never chased it up. |

While I think incidents like this are rare and don't reflect trans people as a whole (let's face it, I think you're more likely to be assaulted by the someone who was born the same gender in a prison rather than a trans person), I have to disagree with the idea of someone who hasn't had gender reassignment going to a prison of their desired gender. It's dangerous for them and it's potentially dangerous for people around them.

Like anything these incidents are rare, but they are the incidents that make the news unfortunately, that said it should be a red flag to anyone thinking self identification is a good idea!

The problem with this kind of thing isn't only the penis. Men are bigger and stronger than women. Even had he had the surgery he is still going to be bigger and stronger and capable of significant harm should tempers flare or should he have the motivation to do harm. It just isn't as simple as genital removal.
It doesn't matter if it's rare. Four women were still harmed by this person.

There should be no male people in the female population, and vice versa. Solitary, or a trans wing in a few prisons would be the solution, not putting people with penises (along with the general strength and size adantage that males would have over females) in with females. Is it really a surprise to people that putting a male person, who is in there for rape anyway, in with females ends like this?!
Come the **** on... Quote:
I also think transmen would not be safe in with the general male population. Even if they are post operative, its just too dangerous, and the current rules are totally wrong. In my opinion.

The solution is not to put these male people who would be targeted in the female population. its to make male prisons safer for all male people. And if needed, segregate those who are in danger, or those causing the trouble
