If we are going to make male prisons safer, we can make female prisons safer too. Should we for instance put gay male sex offenders in male prisons? the answer is clearly 'yes' but we have a duty of care to other male prisoners.

Well yes, as they are male
Even if a rapist raped a male person, they should not be in with females, as they are not female. Equally if a woman raped a man, or another woman..they should still be in with the women as they are female. if they are a danger to those around them, segregate them. Don't shift them to the prison of the opposite sex, thats insane! Its not to do with sexuality, its to do with sex.
There are a fair few transwomen in female prisons. Something like 100 in the country.
What is interesting (though makes total sense really) is that there are no transmen fighting to be in with the men. Its always transwomen wanting to be with the women.
