Probably not.In the meantime though this is undoubtedly going to cause alot of discomfort for people.Something needs to be done.Maybe dedicated wings of a prison/prisons.Supposing a transgender person walks into the shower with or is getting changed with men or women?It will cause problems either way.Some pervy men may do/say inappropriate things and women may feel very uncomfortable showering/changing with what is in biological terms still a man.That could lead to assaults on the transgender person from women and possibly even riots.This person will undoubtedly end up segregated for the majority of their sentence which is also unfair and potentially psychologically damaging.Only the worst of the worst are restricted human contact for safety reasons.A simple assault does not warrant that type of segregation.
