Avery Edison, a male who identifies as a trans woman, was arrested at the airport and detained in a men’s prison in Canada in 2014 when trying to re-enter the country after previously overstaying on a student visa.
Edison, 25, chose to be detained for an inadmissibility hearing rather than immediately return to the UK and was allocated to a men’s detention facility due to being in possession of male genitalia.

Update July 2018
Here’s Edison trotting out something akin to the common domestic abuser’s line of ‘She made me do it. She made me so angry I had to hit her. It’s her fault. She deserved it.’
It is not women who are responsible for the “actual physical harm” done to individuals in the trans community. It is violent men.
You can find a very long list of the violent and sexually violent crimes that trans-identified male individuals have perpetrated against women and children in the UK here
Yeah, it’s a bit shocking to see trans women carrying bats and wearing shirts with fake TERF blood on them. That’s the point. It’s an extreme, but proportionate, response to the actual physical harm transphobic people are doing to the trans community.

So if you ever see a collection of screenshotted posts containing things like “fuck all TERFs to death”, bear in mind that this is a community which is constantly provoked by bigots who wear us down and take any aggressive response as proof we need the abuse.
