I think you still didn't address gp's statement? You cherry picked a handful of examples but failed to provide data indicting this is truly a systemic issue. Or at least an issue that is specifically worse than non-trans rape/sexual assault that occurs at correctional facilities. So basically absent that sort of data, the gender issue of the assailant is irrelevant - rape and sexual assault are a serious problem at these facilities that in general need a solution to improve the situation. If you put all your effort into stopping rape-by-trans and somehow you are able to make it go away, you still have rape-by-non-trans to deal with which is a much larger issue.
