Forced sex reassignment? No. That would be a huge step backwards, and not only that but it would be a huge breach of human & transgender rights.

If people could be taken to a separate prison based on their "differences" it would be one prison per person.
As it is, this prisoner was male and therefore in a male prison.

We are talking gender here. The UK officially recognises two, and so we are not having a 'one prison per person' type situation here. That is quite an exaggeration.
People are discriminated in prison for a number of reasons. I agree with you. We need to prevent that - and one of the ways we can do this is to place prisoners in the correct prisons so they can at least feel comfortable with their own body & self-esteem, I don't doubt issues with prejudice & harassment will still arise but it would be much worse with her in a male prison.
