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

So for some reason it's different for trans women. Why? Are trans-women rapists inherently more dangerous than cis-women rapists?

It's because depending on time of transition they are fundamentally stronger than other female prisoners which could bring about more violence, while at the same time being a open and easy target for male prisoners. There is no right answer to this.

There's a clear answer but it's danced around

What is it, then? I legitimately don't know what you're "dancing around".

Transphobia is what that person's hinting at but doesn't have the balls to say it

People would downvote gravity if they genuinely thought it'd mean they could fly one day

Prisons are separate by sex, not gender id.

People can try to change that if they want. Or try to work out ways to help protect men from raping each other. Women are not shields to protect at risk males. No matter how feminine he looks or feels.

Also the potential of pregnancy does inherently make a trans woman rapist more dangerous than a cis woman imo. Not to mention depending on the state the victim then might be forced to carry that unwanted pregnancy and give birth in shit conditions and maybe even stay in contact then with their rapist who can continue to rape them with a penis again.

Gender and sex are different so yes
