the point of the prison service the point of the prison service is to make sure that people serve then the convicted the deprivation of liberty is the punishment when you're in prison whether you're a man or a woman or trans woman or trans man , you a man or a woman or trans woman or trans man , you are a man or a woman or trans woman or trans man , you are should be or trans man, you are should be safe from violence, from other and from anybody else on the prison estate and is where there's been this massive confusion that the there hasn't been a proper of how to make in this case safe whether it is the rapist whether it's the women in the jail, because i don't think it's going to be easy being a trans woman and a trans woman and a convicted rapist in a male prison in scotland. the safety of the prisoners is really important, but it seems that for nicholas sturgeon this became an issue defending her legislation , which is she knows is flawed because if she believed her was fine, she'd say, see you in the supreme court to the uk. she hasn't. she's she's turned into this reason why we

. -- allowing the prison service operationally to give effect to what i have just said. >> it comes afterament passed legislation making it people to change their legally recognized sex. scotland's gender reform bill changed the process to get a gender recognition certificate. that legally recognizes a person's gender is not the birth but is there acquiredt gender. it can impact constitutional inequalities lawl. this is what sophie grace chapel told me at the open university. >> the correct understanding of what it does is not an identity document, it does not prove your whatever gender you are inquiring. the equality act means trans people are recognized as having acquired the gender they want to transition into. the short answer is yes. as an aside, there is a real danger in this debate that we lose sight of the people who are most at the eye of the storm, the convicted rapist's victims. there is a lot of talk about how important it is to recognize safety of women in absolute priority, and in this debate, it doesn't seem those two people -- it has to be harangued us. -- horrendous. >> i

the scottish prison service said the decision on where transgender prisoners are housed is taken on abe in a women's prison. i think it should be really clear cut. if someone poses a danger to women, has committed crimes against women, they should not be being housed among women prisoners. i think that's just should be straightforward, and i think most people would agree with that. the equality act already provides for recognising that there is a difference between gender and whether, however, that's legally recognized and also biological sex and provides for there to be safe spaces for biological women and prisons is one of the cases that's been highlighted as part of that. so i think this has been something that's been a long, you know, had those arrangements in place in the law and it's right that there should be. it is possible to have a framework that both supports those who are vulnerable, who are trans, and also makes sure there are protections for women in these sorts of circumstances. a record number of people switched banks in the last three months of last year. cost of livi
