This is really important work and I hope it goes nationwide. My mum is on a same sex unit as she gets very agitated by being with the opposite sex and I’m aware that this is not uncommon. I would hope a trans woman would be given the same consideration if that’s what they needed. Anyone who has struggled with gender or sexual identity must have their specific needs met and I’m sure that does not happen sadly at the moment. Keep up the good work.
