The Scottish government has decided to move a transgender woman convicted of rape out of an all-female prison following concerns over the safety of other inmates. The decision comes weeks after the Scottish parliament passed a bill to make it easier for people to change their legal gender, drawing criticism from some women’s rights campaigners who argue that predatory men could use it to access single-sex spaces such as bathrooms.
