This was published in 2011, so, the latter.

Edit- it appeared that you were implying that prisons are playing catchup, which isn't really the case. You're moving goalposts, now, and obfuscating. It's cool tho, maybe I misinterpreted...

What in that article suggests the recent review started 12 years ago? Why engage in such a transparent deception? Let me save you any further bs.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/09/trans-prisoners-in-scotland-to-be-first-sent-to-jails-matching-their-birth-gender

> All transgender offenders entering the Scottish prison system will first be sent to jails that match their birth gender, in a reversal of the Scottish Prison Service’s (SPS) previous inclusive policy.

> The announcement came in an urgent review into the handling of the case of Isla Bryson, a transgender double rapist who was initially sent to a female prison, resulting in a public outcry.

> While it does not appear to be a blanket ban on trans prisoners ever being accommodated in prisons that match their acquired gender, the new protocol supersedes previous guidelines, developed with the Scottish Trans Alliance. These stated that any transgender person taken into custody should be held in a prison that matches the gender they were living in within the community, pending a full risk assessment.

> After the Bryson case, the SPS announced a full case review for every transgender person currently in prison custody will be completed.

You should have taken a page from /u/Saltire_Blue 's book and run away once it was clear the game was up.
