Makayla Sandve, who began identifying as a woman a month after incarceration, is filing for a transfer to a women's prison after a request was denied due to an "extensive criminal record." The BC Tribunal called this "biological determinism."

Among items listed in the human rights complaint by trans-identifying inmate Makayla Sandve is the refusal of a female prison guard to perform a body search.
"Sandve requested a female guard to perform a search but the female corrections officer said, 'eww, I’m not doing it.'"
"Sandve requested a female guard to perform a search but the female corrections officer said, 'eww, I’m not doing it.'"
Another purported human rights violation is the refusal to provide Sandve with the women's prison uniform, and "feeling ugly without clothing needed to express her gender."
Sandve was denied transfer to a women's prison several times due to a violent and extensive criminal record.
"To infer, without evidence, that Ms. Sandve should be treated as a male dangerous to female inmates engages in questionable biological determinism,” the Tribunal said.
