Double rapist Isla Bryson claims to be the victim of a hate crime because jail staff are preventing the trans prisoner from wearing make-up.

The sex offender has also received an apology after complaining about being “misgendered” and being called “son” by a female member of staff.

Bryson is one of Scotland’s most high profile prisoners because of a political storm caused by the rapist’s initial imprisonment in women’s prison, Corton Vale.

Born male, Adam Graham, it was claimed the controversy contributed to the resignation of Nicola Sturgeon last year as first minister as she was unable to clarify her view on the rapist being a man or a woman.
