This is the reason why trans men decide to stay in a woman’s prison. The people in a woman’s prison are treated better and I don’t deny there’s some form of sexual assault, there is less than the men’s prisons. One big difference between a men and women’s prison is you being asked to do something by the COs instead of being told. For example, if an officer says to get out your cell, they will wait for you to get out in a women’s prison. In a men’s prison, if you take too long you’ll get escorted out by other officers.
And before people go “oh then people from the men’s prison can just declare themselves to be trans and then come and rape all the women”. Yeah no. There’s a rigious application process to transfer into a woman’s prison as a trans person. You also get free hormones, which is nice.
