Bryson said in the handwritten letter: ‘I’m just dealing with staff transphobia.
‘A member of staff in Edinburgh told me that the MSP has been telling governors to treat trans women entering the SPS as men. “It’s disgusting and a hate crime.”
Prime Minister Humza Yousaf introduced a new hate crimes law earlier this month that could convict people for misgendering a person online.
Bryson added: “They refuse to take out any women’s toiletries or makeup. I’m taking blockers right now. I have boobs. I don’t look like a man anymore.
Natalie Beal, governor of HMP Glenochil, reportedly wrote a letter to Bryson apologizing that one of her staff had called the sexual predator “son”, adding that the officer may not have realized Bryson was trans.
This is not the first time Bryson has criticized the prison for being ‘transphobic’.
In July, the offender said in another letter: ‘I am not doing very well due to abuse from staff members, all because I am transgender, and so are other prisoners.
‘This prison is full of transphobic people. The police are involved because of the abuse related to my gender. “People won’t stop being transphobic.”
Bryson was sentenced to eight years in prison at the High Court in Edinburgh, with a further three years on license in February 2023. Pictured: Bryson after being sentenced to prison.

The rapist claimed to have started transitioning at the age of 29, but Bryson’s estranged wife Shonna Graham, 31, previously told MailOnline her ex-partner’s transition was an “attention-seeking sham”.
She said he was ‘pushing the authorities’ to avoid a male prison. Critics said the rapist was a threat to female inmates.
