I didn’t say anything about which was worse. The point I was making is that as soon as they discovered they were dealing with a trans man, they immediately understood that this female person needed to be in a female prison. This is standard policy. And no trans activists object. But the same logic isn't applied to trans women.
Prison sucks. I'm not surprised to hear about bullying based on gender identity or on skin colour or on any other characteristic. We probably agree that this needs to be dealt with. But it's separate from the question of whether prisons should continue to be sex segregated. Which, again, is required by the Geneva convention.
