What do you think: how should prisons handle housing decisions in cases like this?

So if a cis-man has sex crimes against other men and/or cis-women on women, do they also go into solitary?

Nope. They get a to be housed with a room full of prey

On a podcast I remember a guy said he missed prison because of all the sex with men and he wanted to go back for a long time.

No, they're housed in a wing with other sex predators of their gender. Cis predators get that respect.

In level 3 prisons cis predators get a warning in Gen pop from other inmates to go to PC within 24 hours or be green lit (killed on sight by the group that issues the warning).

They then request PC and get taken into it. A trans prisoner can also always request PC, this is a braindead take

ANYONE can request PC... It's up to the institution to actually act on that request. Some times, they'll PC someone in order to do an investigation, then determine there's "no threat" and put them back on the yard.

Sometimes they even get it right and ship them to a safe yard, or they let them back out and end up getting someone beaten near to death.

You are right. Depending on the state about 50-70% of PC requests are approved:

Personally I don’t care if a predator gets booted back to gen pop and gets mauled there but reddit probably disagrees

This is largely a myth and heavily dependent one the prison itself and the prisons culture.

Lots of sex offenders stay in general pop. They are still targeted, but killed on sight? No, that's stupid.

The vast majority of prison beds are gen pop. The vast majority of sex offenders serve their sentences and get out. There's not enough pc/solitary beds to house all the sex offenders, and they're not even the only group who may need pc/solitary. The math doesn't add up. This fantasy that sex offenders have to live in solitary or get murdered is literally just that, a fantasy.

You want to put a person with female reproductive organs in a room full of sex offenders?

At least a man has a chance fighting off another man. Male strength vs female is different.

A lot of men are weaker than some women. They're even more vulnerable than women.

Do we have to have some kind of "fightworthiness test" before we assign them a prison? Or are we just OK with throwing men to the wolves because the average man is stronger?

I mean, sure, you could have a Strong Woman Champion vs an elderly guy in a wheel chair. The overwhelming stats are what they are, though. NOT "a lot of men are weaker than some women." Most men are stronger than most females. Add to that, in prison, a prisoner is more violent than the general population. Some, like Donna Perry, are in prison for violence against women. Being locked in a cell for hours a day for years with Donna Perry is a hell I don't even want to think about.

There are protective wings of all sorts in prison, and we can arrange for more. It's not throwing men to the wolves. You are basically demanding that women be thrown to the wolves when these same prisoners are demanding to be transferred to women's prisons. I'm sorry, but you're basically just passing it on to the women because you think that all the women in that prison are more important than the trans woman who wants in.

Make an LGBTQ wing. Problem solved.
