A man’s feelings of having a female “gender identity” is a belief. The concept of “gender identity” cannot be allowed to replace the reality of sex in law. For women and girls, any legislation needs to prioritise safeguarding protection and privacy on the basis of our sex.

Any new policy on transgender prisoners must ensure that any changes to the Prison Rules do not negatively impact on the safety and other needs of women in prisons, including women prisoners and women Prison Officers and officials.
