Violence against women and girls is gendered not sexed, full women's liberation cannot happen without acceptance of trans, intersex, and nonbinary people. Sexists hate "gender ideology" which is just code for "feminism" because feminism calls-out how natalist gender roles are policed onto genitalia.

As a feminist, it’s just SO EXHAUSTING that I have to investigate EVERYTHING that seems remotely supportive of women, to make sure that it’s not a Trojan horse being used by ‘gender critical’ transphobes to sneak in anti-trans hate under the guise of “protecting women”! 😫

There are also currently no trans women (or any trans people) in prison in Northern Ireland and haven't been for a while.
You have to understand that the TUV are of course deeply concerned about trans women being in women's prisons - because, of course, in their view the only women who belong in prison are those who have abortions or who sleep with other women.
