UK to Ban Transgender Convicts with ‘Male Genitalia’ From Female Prisons
Breitbart ^ | January 26, 2023 | Kurt Zindulka

The UK government has announced that it is set to considerably reform its policy on transgender prisoners so that inmates with “male genitalia”, or who were convicted of sexual offences, will be prohibited from being placed in women’s prisons.

Following a review initiated by the short-lived administration of former PM Liz Truss, who was unceremoniously kicked out of office by her own party in October for attempting to institute a set of mild free-market reforms, the Conservative government announced on Wednesday that it is prepared to change its policy on housing transgender inmates.

Under the proposed framework, biologically male transgender women will be prohibited from being placed in female-only prisons if they still have “male genitalia” or have been convicted of a sexual offence. There will be a carveout, however, for government ministers to decide to exempt an individual from the general policy under “only the most truly exceptional cases”.

“The safety of all prisoners is paramount. These changes will ensure a sensitive and common-sense approach to meeting the needs of women in custody, while we continue to ensure that transgender prisoners are appropriately supported in whichever estate they are located in,” the government said in a release on Wednesday.

The government did not say exactly when the new policy will be implemented, saying that it will publish guidance “shortly” upon which the change will be instituted by the Prison Service.

Finally, a rare bit of common sense dealing with the trans insane.

It doesn’t happen very often, does it?
