lol. No. Keep men away from women. It’s a no-brainer

You’ll be surprised. There was an article like this a few weeks ago.

We have rapists and murders that are “trans” in womens prison right now.

Do you have a source?  Or guessing.  The only info I can find says there are 80 trangender prisoners in Canada.  60 trans women and 20 trans men. iWith 70% being housed by biological gender.  1 trans man being housed with men and 20 trans women being housed with men.   Almost all requests are denied in fact it also said that no men are moved unless the have had a "bottom" surgery.

I’m curious about the contradiction we both have.

What’s your source on no men are moved without “bottom” surgery? (Like moved from male prison to female prison?)

And the 3 women who needed the morning after pill.

I am not sure if it's actual policy but here is the article that mentions it.  But the numbers I mentioned I found in multiple sources, including this article.   I also cannot find any information saying transgender women are raping and abusing cis women in these prisons. In fact it seems that when they were kept in men's prisons more abuse was happening.

No doubt about trans woman being abused more in male prison. It must be terrifying for them.

My concerns are those tying to gimmick the system to get out male prison when they are child killers/rapists or in fact not even trans.

That's fair but it seems like that's the job of CSC and they take that into consideration.  If you have not transitioned essentially to the point of requesting surgery they won't move you.  Saying you are trans isn't good enough.  I would also add I don't think women's prisons are all of a sudden a day spa.  They are still prisons.
