I completely agree @sashagabadon.

Agree

But does anyone know more about this?

In what way can it be challenged and by whom

Of course we have to treat transgender prisoners with respect,

'Respect' does not include 'right of access to non consenting vulnerable females' ffs.

It is perfectly possible to treat TQ+ male prisoners with respect without treating female prisoners as a resource those male prisoners have an entitlement to.

It would be nice if 'respect' was actually a form of treatment aspired to by government ministers in the treatment of female prisoners too. Because currently male people: the issue they want help with is limiting their freedom of choice and placing boundaries on the exercising of their chosen gender identity. Female people? They'd just like to not be forcibly subjected to being intimidated and assaulted by male prisoners please.

Freedom of self actualisation vs not being raped. Seriously. And in considering whether we perhaps ought to not let those women get raped, we have to wring our hands about whether protecting them disrespects male prisoners?

At what point is this screaming binary sexism going to dawn on these supposedly intelligent people? This is sex based thinking. Binary sex based thinking. No one anywhere in this situation believes these male people are women. Women don't get this kind of consideration!

This is the issue I feel most strongly about and the press rarely talk about it, it's an abomination that a male penis could rape and then be placed with vulnerable females. In America where children are been fathered, where is the safe guarding? It's madness.

Of course we have to treat transgender prisoners with respect,

Why is this nonsense line always parroted? Are they saying only trans prisoners should be treated with respect? What about other prisoners? Either treat all prisoners with respect or none of them, stop singling out one particular type of prisoner for respect.

This kind of thing is said by the type of person that at some point probably didn't treat trans people with respect, and is now having to make a point of doing so.

Respect away. Salute them, gold plate the facilities, drape the place with Pride Flags, gronda to the bloody aspidistra by all means. Just don't lock them in enclosed spaces with non consenting females. I'm positive that can be respectfully avoided.

And let's not forget that over 90% of male trans prisoners are accommodated in the male estate without problems - revealed in the recent HoL debate. So there was no need for a single male to have been transferred to women's prisons in the first place. GRC or not.

I agree a blanket ban on any and all male prisoners even those with a GRC from being placed in the female prison estate, no ifs, buts, maybes just a flat out NO. Separate wing(s) or buildings within the male prison estate is where they should go.

However, putting it the way Raab has whereby a named Government Minister has to personally sign it off, put their name to it publicly and justify it to the public could be a step that works. Ministers of whatever Party that is in Government are also MP's and would have to face their own constituents and the electorate at large and explain and justify why they did so, especially if the prisoner then went on to assault females within the female prison estate - I seriously can't imagine any of them willing to do that. The MSM would be like a dog with a bone about it too.
