Trans women and prisons

The row over a trans woman sent to a women's prison has raised questions about where trans prisoners should be housed.

The Scottish Prison Service is under fire for sending a trans woman who raped two women to a female prison.

That has brought the ongoing battle about whether trans women should be in women's prisons to the top of the social media agenda. Some argue that men's prisons are not safe for trans women. But others say that biological males should never be in women's prisons.
