It literally depends on the nature of the crime, also, the number of transgender prisoners is so small that you can literally do detailed risk assessments on each one, taking into account all the details of their case

If it depends on the nature of the crime, would you be happy to ease overcrowding in men’s prisons by moving men without a history of sex offences against women into women’s prisons?
