BEING TRANSGENDER IN PRISON

I would suggest that there are few people who do not have at least a modicum of sympathy and/or understanding for individuals now denominated as transgender......  "adjective denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity does not conform unambiguously to conventional notions of male or female gender."   It would seem that the law has not yet caught up with the many anomalies that can be exposed in such circumstances.  Magistrates in Bath, presumably acting on the advice of their legal advisor, sentenced Tara Hudson to a period of custody   in a male prison on the basis that presumably she is registered on her birth certificate as male. What truly awful days and nights await her under Her Majesty`s pleasure  can only be guessed. This is a situation which should be rectified ASAP if not sooner.
