Ah I didn't realise that tbh. With Ian Huntley's case though, the article suggests that he wants to undergo a full sex change procedure, if he doesn't need to do that in order to move to a women's prison then it's probably a genuine case otherwise surely he wouldn't go that far?

A while back there was a petition (which I signed at the time) about moving a transgender prisoner to female prison. I was under the impression SRS had been undergone. Came out later that it had not been, and that the person was actually convicted of violence against females, had a history of it.. and was also working as an escort and using 'her' penis for money before going to jail which kind of goes against the whole dysphoric notion. So yeah...I did think this but its obviously not true.

I don't think he will get a sex change. But you no longer (if you ever did need to..) have to have SRS to be 'legally' a woman and shifted to female jail.

My heart bleeds, for the actual victim.
