The opening paragraph about type I and II errors in the issue of prisons for trans women is very interesting. I had never thought about it that way.
The most obvious answer to me seems to be separate accomodation for them but I know that just brings a whole lot of other issues and questions about infrastructure, cost-benefit analyses, etc!
On transgender women: look at the genitalia. If they still have male genitalia, house them in male prisons. Make this rule widely known. Otherwise, let female prisoners in their target women's prison make an informed vote whether to accept them.
(You may be able to tell that I believe a plurality or majority of male-to-female "gender-transformed" convicted offenders are either autogynephiles, or sexual predators, taking advantage of a naively constructed system. Those who go all the way may be exceptions.)
Edit: yes, that graphic is very well done. Conveys more information more clearly in much less space than text or tables would have taken.

The idea of having the women in prison vote is interesting. Worth considering.
