Disclaimer: The purpose of this site is simply to document. This site does not encourage or condone discrimination against trans men and women. It is in no way intended to demonize trans men and trans women any more than reporting on any other types of violence demonize women or men. Presentation of research data is simply that, presentation of research data.
The following is a list of trans women who are seeking sex reassignment surgery, have been granted sex reassignment surgery and trans women who have been placed in women’s prisons. There will be some overlap between lists. Not all trans women who have been placed in women’s prisons have undergone sex reassignment surgery. Therefore, the categories interested in relocation, pre-op, post-op and granted sex reassignment surgery, but awaiting placement have been used.
