The case sparked a heated debate over whether Bryson should be housed in a male or a female prison
A transgender woman, found guilty of raping two women before transitioning, has been jailed for eight years.
Isla Bryson was convicted last month of raping the women, one in Clydebank in 2016 and one in Glasgow in 2019, after meeting them online.
The 31-year-old committed the offences while still a man known as Adam Graham.
The case sparked a heated debate over whether Bryson should be housed in a male or a female prison after transitioning from a man to a woman.
Bryson was initially remanded to a women's jail after being found guilty, but was then moved to a men's facility, following concerns about the safety of women being held alongside a transgender sex offender.

An urgent review later led to a policy change meaning all newly-convicted or remanded transgender prisoners will initially be placed in jails according to their birth sex.
During the trial, prosecutors said Bryson, from Clydebank, had "preyed" on vulnerable women who he met online.
Bryson made the decision to transition from a man to a woman while awaiting trial.
The case is thought to be the first time a trans woman has been convicted of raping women in Scotland.
