You are assuming that any sort of medical transition is required in order to get a GRC. This is not the case. Transition can be social only so males who have had no surgery and no hormone treatment can get a GRC and, as I understand this thread, will then by default be placed in the women's estate.
THIS is what we have been banging on about for so long!! THIS is why women should NOT ever be compelled to just budge up, make room, ‘be kind.’
Further to this, even if the relevant individual has had surgery (the vast majority don’t) or taken/takes hormones, or has done any number of social things to apparently ‘live as a woman’ the Law MUST, in order to protect those vulnerable, not just in prison but in any setting, be clear that biological fact remains, that sex is the only reliable and constant standard. Sex segregation must persist, without exception.
Sorry, I know this might not the the right thread for this, but it vexes me that so many people still don’t understand the reality of what we’re dealing with and what it means in real terms, in real life, for all women and girls, and children.
