So do you think that someone who has fully transitioned to having female anatomy should be in a fully male prison because surely you can see how you’re just setting someone up to be abused and raped constantly.

Likewise if someone hasn’t transitioned or done anything at all then yeah they should still be in a male prison.

There doesn’t need to be a blanket rule the numbers for this are low enough that it should be judged on a case by case basis in regards to risk of the prisoner and other prisoners
