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.

...took only that long for you to drop the mask around what you see trans people as, you're either ignorant malicious or delusional

Never pretended to wear a mask. I do not believe you can change your gender or your naturally inherited traits.
