Transgender rapist jailed for eight years
BBC ^ | Feb 28 | BBC

A double rapist who changed gender while waiting to stand trial has been jailed for eight years.

Isla Bryson attacked two women in Clydebank and Glasgow in 2016 and 2019 while known as Adam Graham.

The judge said Bryson posed a high risk of reoffending and would be supervised for three years after release.

The case sparked a heated debate over whether Bryson should be housed in a male or a female prison after transitioning from a man to a woman.

Bryson, 31, was initially remanded to a women's jail after being found guilty, but was then moved to a men's facility.

This followed concerns about the safety of any women held alongside a transgender sex offender in a female jail.

The case ultimately led to an urgent review and a change in policy which will see all newly-convicted or remanded transgender prisoners initially placed in jails according to their birth sex.

Passing sentence, Lord Scott told Bryson: "You see yourself as the victim in this case. But you are not."

The judge said reports suggested Bryson had a set of neuro-developmental disorders.

"Your vulnerability is no excuse at all for what you did to these two women in 2016 and 2019," he said.

"Regardless of your own vulnerability, in a period of just under three years, you raped two women who can both be regarded as vulnerable."

Lord Scott said Bryson had preyed on his victims because of their vulnerability and raped them in their own homes.

Oh come on. He only “changed genders” to avoid big boy prison where he would undoubtedly receive much of what he dished out. Plus, he’s a rapist, so he wants access to women. Anyone who condones any of this for a minute is a damned fool.

You know it’s bad when having the common sense not to lock women in a cell with a convicted rapist makes the news.

“The case sparked a heated debate over whether Bryson should be housed in a male or a female prison after transitioning from a man to a woman”

And THAT’S the whole idea......throw a monkey wrench into what to do with HIM hoping to get put into a cushy women’s prison where HE will have a whole new fresh crop of potential rape targets.

“who changed gender “

Wrong. No one can change gender. Change it to “who deluded itself into thinking that it was the other sex.”

Some of them are mentally ill (which sadly it's basically illegal to treat them for now) but not in this case. The dude put on a wig and bought himself a ticket to an easier place to serve out his sentence, and probably add to his victim list.

What a pathetic headline. Can’t tell if it’s a tranny doing the raping or getting raped.
