Sturgeon said the behaviour of a 'tiny minority' including convicted rapist Isla Bryson could not justify denying rights to transgender people
Nicola Sturgeon says she does not regret how she handled the issue of a rapist being placed in a women's prison, adding that the Scottish Prison Service had been dealing with trans prisoners “for years”.
Ms Strugeon said of the Isla Bryson situation: “These are tough issues, but they are issues fundamentally about basic human rights. There is no other group in society where we take the behaviour of a tiny minority and use it to deny rights to that group. “The threat to women is abusive and predatory men, not trans people. My regret was that I wasn’t able to take the debate and the discourse around it into a more rational place.”
