Did the ACLU push to put transmen in male prisons?

No?

Not sure about any of this, but one of the problems, at least in the UK, has been that transgender female prisoners have attacked weaker female prisoners:

Perhaps this is not as common with weaker transgender male prisoners in male prisons, though they may victims, along with other male prisoners, of attacks, which are common in the for-profit prisons in the US.

You mean that after being transferred to female facilities, male prisoners who identify as transgender have attacked weaker female prisoners, right?

The term "transgender female prisoners" would be female inmates who identify as men.

I am using the Daily Mail reference - which is 'transgender female' that "transitioned" from male to "female". Eg:

It follows cases of transgender female prisoners sexually assaulting fellow inmates. In 2018, Karen White - who was born a man but was placed in women's prison HMP New Hall after telling authorities of his identification as a woman - sexually assaulted two female inmates

Take it up with them
