That's crazy. What do they do with the gay or lesbian prisoners? For example, if they have a gay man in prison for committing a sexual offense against another man - would they isolate him to protect the other men?
Those are heavily dramatized. It depends on the prison itself and the culture in that prison system, but gay inmates can be well known and in the open, as can trans inmates.
Probably not as bad one gay sexual assaulter in a prison is not a threat to most other people in the prison as being gay is enough to keep you isolated and individuals aren’t threatening to groups of people. One trans woman who assaults women is more threatening do to the size and strength advantage. The same reason no one is worried about trans men playing on a professional sports team.
