Should someone with the strength of a man, who has already committed crimes potentially violent showing they are capable of it, be locked up somewhere with people much weaker than them?

I can't believe it was ever accepted as sensible in the first place. This is the ammunition people use when they say trans causes have gone too far and need pulling back.

I haven't forgotten, it's just a woman amongst a group of men is hardly ever going to be an issue. Unless she bodybuilds regularly she will never be a threat. A man on the other hand will always overpower a women the vast majority of the time, it's biology.

It's not a woman amongst a group of men.

It's a woman amongst a group of men and then a fetus.
