Sofie Löwenmark wrote that the debate in Scotland about biological men in women's prisons had been ongoing after several controversial placements, and that the case of Adam Graham, who later used the name Isla Bryson, was decisive. She stated that Graham had raped two women on two occasions and began identifying as a woman during the legal process. After a conviction, he was placed in a women's prison, but was moved to a men's prison after two days due to strong reactions, she wrote. Löwenmark wrote that already granted transfers to women's prisons were then stopped, new applications were paused, and the rules were tightened. According to her, people she described as biological men with a history of violent or sexual crimes against women were effectively excluded from women's prisons. She also referred to the fact that the UK Supreme Court ruled in 2025 that the term woman in the Equality Act referred to biological women. Bryson was sentenced to eight years in prison and three years of supervision after serving the sentence, Löwenmark wrote. She stated that the judge assessed the risk of reoffending as high, that Bryson was registered for life in the register of violent and sexual offenders, and that he was still serving the sentence in a men's facility. #Kvinnoanstalt #BiologiskaMän #Rättssystemet (translated)
