This is why I raised the topic -because I was uncomfortable with the concept of her being in a women's prison -as a convicted rapist of women- but also felt there was no way she would be safe in a men's prison. 

Involves a much larger topic.  For example, universities once classified students only as male and female. Are now having trouble with new requirements.  (Industry requirements; not legal ones.)  That may list up to nine (if I remember) different gender classifications.  This is even affecting how professors address their students.  That topic, as explained to me by numerous people in this industry, was so complex that I still do not grasp it.

Something as simple as a transgender woman on a girl's baseball team.  Is that acceptable?  Currently any answer is valid.

Re: So what do we all think about the rapist who transitioned whilst await

Not entirely sure how my discomfort -as a woman- about a person convicted of violently sexually attacking women as a man being housed with women makes me a fascist, although I do understand that as a woman my place is not to be having opinions or attempting discussion because I'm too fucking stupid to know. 

I'd be less uncomfortable if she'd had the chop, but it doesn't seem that that is the case.  But now I'll step back and wait until I'm told what to think.  I'd make all y'all a sammich, but apparently covid has caused arsenic shortages

If he/she still has cock and balls them they belong in a male prison, good luck to them.

An exception may be voluntary acceptance of chemical castration (at their own risk and closely monitored for effectiveness).  It's used by some countries like Canada and some US states like California. Just sayin', since I haven't seen it mentioned yet though well into the discussion:

If they were desperate enough to be housed in a women's prison to go through that, I'd be more OK with it.

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

We stand behind our recent obsessed-seeming torrent of articles and essays on trans people, which we believe faithfully depicts their lived experiences as weird and gross. We remain dedicated to finding the angles that best frame the basic rights of the gender-nonconforming as up for debate, and we will use these same angles over and over again in hopes that this repetition makes them suffer.

Our critics accuse us of transphobia and are trying to murder us online, with their online mobs. They want to destroy our right to free speech and have us arrested by all the police.

For more evidence of our time-honored journalistic commitment to endangering lives, please see our previous coverage of gay people, immigrants, Black people, and women.

Research shows that trans people are over four times more likely than cisgender people to be the victim of a violent crime. We salute our colleagues across the media who are working tirelessly to make that number even higher.
