"Over recent years the number of male prisoners identifying as transgender women has increased and some are now living in women’s prisons. What the majority of people don’t know is that most of these male prisoners have not gone through any ‘sex change surgery’ and
still have their penis. Some of them are in prison because they have committed sexual or violent crimes against women but they are still allowed to serve their time alongside women. Mistakes have already been made and last year two women prisoners were sexually assaulted by a male transgender prisoner. That prisoner, who had been convicted of rape, has now been moved into the male estate."
