Biological men who identify as women are now officially allowed to transfer into women’s correctional institutions if they request to do so.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) made the policy clear in a directive from the Commissioner on Wednesday that the transfers would take place regardless of the inmate’s anatomical sex.
The document – Commissioner’s Directive 100 Gender Diverse Offenders – lays out the transfer process and also mandates gender diversity training to staff and correctional officers.
“After completing the intake assessment process, offenders will be placed according to their gender identity or expression in a men’s or a women’s institution, if that is their preference, regardless of their sex (i.e., anatomy) or the gender/sex marker on their identification documents,” the directive states.
