While I don't think that men with working penises have a place in a woman's prison, and I have no idea on this persons penis status, I think that putting someone who looks like this in a male prison is just asking for trouble.

That is a heartening response.

Turning yourself into a parody of a woman doesn't give you a (literal) get out of jail free card for carrying out a violent attack. If you don't want to go to a male prison, perhaps don't go around headbutting people.

Also, is this the person who demanded to be moved to a women's prison despite having a '7 inch surprise'?

They state Hudson “is as a matter of biological fact a man” and add that the term “transwoman” has no legal significance. They say they have adopted female pronouns when referring to Hudson only “out of respect for her wishes

That’s someone who is socially and genetically male, committed eight offenses including battery and was regarded as worryingly violent. Nah, not seeing the case for moving them to a women’s facility, other than a cosmetic one.

Well for starters if Tara Hudson doesn't want to be subjected to abuse in a male prison they could try staying out of prison by not partaking in violent behaviour? But that's by the by I suppose.

Tara does (or did at least) have a penis - wasn't she the one with the 'seven inch surprise'?

I don't know why there can't just be a trans wing in male prisons? Or just a trans prison? I really don't get it?

One thing I am sure of though is that people like Tara Hudson have no business being in female prisons.

They forgot to mention Tara's history of violent crime and peddling of their seven-inch surprise on sex sites.

I think a specific trans facility is the only answer really, Queen.

That individual could be put into the vulnerable prisoners' wing of a male prison.

They really need to open a facility for trans people.

I find the ministry of justice stance most heartening.
