I think most trans women want to be with women because they feel they are a woman. I also think most trans men would feel very intimidated in a male prison because regardless of how well their transitions gone, they will still be vulnerable to male predators.

But they are not a woman, regardless of what they think they are.

I think they mainly want in with the women as they know a female prison is likely to be safer and 'easier', and in some cases for access to more victims tbh. British Association of Gender Identity Specialists agree with me too it seems. Cocnerns have already been raised on this issue.

Basically the only way to keep everyone as safe as possible, is to segregate the 'transwomen' who feel they should be in with the women for safety reasons. This keeps them safe, and also does not make the women unsafe.
