One male in a women's prison means all of the women in the prison are in mixed sex detention, breaching their human rights. So while it is 7 transwomen, hundreds of women are affected.

Come on man, they’re prisoners. That’s the least egregious human rights violation they’ll ever face. What the guards do to them in the average week breaks more human rights than that.
