A transgender woman who was held in an Ontario male correctional facility was moved to the corresponding female facility Tuesday night after an Internet uproar over her misgendering and detainment over a visa issue.

On sex-segregated institutions like correctional facilities and hospitals, the OHRC [Ontario Human Rights Commission] says the standing practice allows "post-operative male to female transsexuals to stay in women's correctional facilities" but in other situations it's a case-by-case basis.
