More than 60 per cent of transgender prisoners behind bars in Scotland only began transitioning after they were locked up, it has emerged.

Data obtained under Freedom of Information laws state there were, at the start of last month, 19 transgender prisoners in custody, 12 of whom (63 per cent) are recorded as beginning their transition “after their date of admission”.

There were seven trans women - biological men identifying as female - being allowed to serve their sentences in the women’s estate, despite the public and political outcry this year over transgender double rapist Isla Bryson.

The 31-year-old only began transitioning from male to female in 2020 after being charged with raping two women.
