You'd have thought common sense would prevail. Ok one thing we can't ignore is that she has been found guilty of a crime and that shouldn't get lost and that seems to be a common theme on social media but it's coupled with "so she deserves it" which is not the issue. Apart from a piece of paper saying she is a "man" she is to all intents and purposes a woman. And should be in a woman's prison. That's the issue.

Absolutely, I'm all for ensuring that people are punished for crimes committed, however the extra danger they have put this girl in by being in an inappropriate prison is unjust.
She lost her appeal against her sentence (maybe rightly considering the crime) however it has just been announced that she will be transferred to a women's prison in South Gloucestershire.

Hooray. Common sense prevails. Probably this clause in the transgender sentencing rules:
Some transgender people will be "sufficiently advanced in the gender reassignment process" that they could be placed "in the estate of their acquired gender, even if the law does not yet recognise they are of their acquired gender"
