Former UK cabinet minister who oversaw prisons in 2018–19 says female prison officers were raped by trans women with penises who were housed in women’s prisons.

Female prison officers have been raped by male-bodied inmates who self-identify as trans women, a former Minister has revealed.

The disclosure was made by Rory Stewart, the ex-Tory Cabinet Minister who oversaw prisons in 2018 and 2019 and who is now running as an independent candidate for Mayor of London.
