This sounds like a urban legend or an isolated incident portrayed to make the issue sound big and scary.
Prisons should be evaluating whether the person was genuinely living as a woman (and possibly taking hormone treatments, etc) before putting them into a women’s prison, and not just because they declared “I’m a woman now” after being convicted and sentenced.
Nobody making a fuss about trans people causing problems in prisons seems to give a single fuck about all the sexual assaults and rapes that happen between men or between women in prisons. It’s only when trans people come into the picture then all of a sudden prison rape becomes a big issue.

- MrOwen 3y agoI think you still didn't address gp's statement? You cherry picked a handful of examples but failed to provide data indicting this is truly a systemic issue. Or at least an issue that is specifically worse than non-trans rape/sexual assault that occurs at correctional facilities. So basically absent that sort of data, the gender issue of the assailant is irrelevant - rape and sexual assault are a serious problem at these facilities that in general need a solution to improve the situation. If you put all your effort into stopping rape-by-trans and somehow you are able to make it go away, you still have rape-by-non-trans to deal with which is a much larger issue.
