Am I alone in worrying that this may lead to more people identifying as women being allowed access to women's prisons as a result of this?

The statistics of suicide in prison are soaring, this is obviously an issue that needs addressing, but I can't help but fear that Swift's death will be used by trans lobbyists to endanger women only safe spaces.

Link for more info and see how it is already being spun by the MSM

Transwomen aren't women, they are transwomen.

There should be a unit for trans prisoners.

Women in prison are more likely to have been victims of abuse it's not right that they should be forced to share space with a male bodied person, no matter how they identify.

But they aren't women. That is a scientific fact.

Trans women are women tho and should not be in men's prisons. They are not going to put a man that has never lived as a woman, expressed wanting to transition, or undergone a ton of therapy into a women's prison. Trans women are more likely to have harm done to them, then them to pose a threat to women.

I saw the Guardian article on this and they said Swift had requested to be transferred to an annexe where there were other trans prisoners, rather than to a women's prison.

But yes, I agree it is worrying that it could be spun by those who would support that demand.
