Nicola Sturgeon may regret repeating the mantra “trans women are women”
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskIn January a male rapist was placed in a women’s prison in Scotland. Isla Bryson, who changed his name from Adam Graham after being arrested , may have transitioned in the hope of a softer sentence, or to access potential victims, or both. But Scotland’s embrace of self-made it possible: since 2014 the Scottish Prison Service has allowed prisoners to be housed with members of the sex with which they identify .
Campaigners for women’s rights point out that though most trans women pose no threat to women, there is no evidence that they pose less of a threat than other men. Most have not undergone sex-reassignment surgery. Many are heterosexual. Given that less than 2% of reported rapes lead to a conviction, claims that the prison service can weed out predatory males bear little scrutiny.
A majority of them have been victims of domestic violence. One former female convict has described how she was “shaking with fear” when she was forced to share a shower block with trans women in a Scottish jail. Where then should trans prisoners be placed? The question mostly relates to trans women, since most trans inmates are natal males . Some trans women are themselves too vulnerable to be housed with males.
