The flaw in their logic you point out is at the heart of all their activism. They claim they are not men and regardless of that being true or not true (and it just isn't true biologically even for those who might make it appear that way via castration and surgery) that does not make them women and does not deal with the very reasons female prisons exist. Also, female prisoners are always harassed and often raped by guards. Prisons in and of themselves are not really solutions to anything, and this only makes it worse for women in prison.

Especially considering, that around 80-90% of female prisoners (depending on country) are in prisons for non-violent crimes. In UK huge amount of female prisoners are women who not paid their TV license or their house rent. And then those peaceful women will get in their prison cell murderer and rapist who is physically stronger just because he said he is now temporarily a woman.
