Yes, something like that did happen.  A rapist who had no history of
being trans, but claimed he was trans, was housed for one night in a
separate cell within the 'estate' of a womens' prison while they decided
what to do with him.  He had no contact with any of the female inmates
and the next day was transferred to a mens' prison when they decided his
claim was bogus.

Don't believe everything you read in the British press.

I agree - but you have the wrong target.  It was utter lunacy on the
part of the prison authorities who were so stupid they didn't realise
what a meal the gutter press would make of it.

Just have a look at the OT heading that started this discussion, you
wrote it.  This is only one small branch that followed on from that.
