This is a real question meant to provoke dialog and thought. Do you think a transgendered woman is personally safer in a women's prison if they still have biologically male "parts"?

They say they can't comment due to pending litigation. The person I talked to was cordial. I told him I wasn't looking for a response and that I just wanted to express my thoughts on the situation.

The only issue I have with this, is if a transgendered male was sent to prison, he'd be sent to a male prison then. I'm not ok with that since I have a transgendered son. He would be in as much risk, if not more bcuz of his sexual organs. Soooo, I have issues with this proposal.
