Officials soften objections to DP bill, trans prisoner rule

Corrections officials had noted the change was needed because the city's Human Rights Act could be interpreted to force city prison authorities to assign male-to-female transgender inmates — including those transitioning from one gender to the other — to female living quarters in the D.C. jail. Prison officials feared doing so would create a potential danger for female inmates, who could be subjected to sexual harassment or assault by female trans inmates who have male sex organs.

Where they have placed fully post-operative, legally female transwomen before?

I read that they have generally placed transpeople by their current  external genitals however one post-op woman was placed as ''mistake'' to men's side. Also one normal woman who looked very masculine.
