After reading a few posts about trans women and prisons. I'm interested to know if there are trans men in male prisons? Do they get to choose between male or female prisons?

I'm not sure what relevant someone's account of being in prison in Georgia, USA has to the discussion here, which is about prisons in the UK Confused

No, there are currently none. I'm not sure if there ever have been any, however.

Of course there have been
Probably are at present but many trans people apparently feel so unsafe that they de-transition so statistics are unreliable

But am sure you are right, that was not meant to sound like I didn't believe you!

Thanks Vicky. FPFW has most accurate info.

Someone on here posted a FOI (I think it was) recently which said there were none.

The government guidelines say they get to choose but are unlikely to choose the male estate (funny that).

Think Govt were also saying they have no figures on how many female born trans there are in either estate.

The Fair Play For Women site has lots of info and research on this. Unlike the MoJ apparently.
