The trans sex offender, named Adam Graham until 2020, was convicted of raping two women prior to transitioning. Bryson was initially put in female-only prison Cornton Vale but was later placed within the male prison HMP Edinburgh, in what was an embarrassing U-turn for former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. Now Bryson, who is one of Scotland's most high profile prisoners, has written a grumbling letter from her cell to the Sunday Mail claiming that she is a victim of 'transphobia' within the prison. The 32-year-old from Clydebank, who bragged that she now has a female voice and breasts, claimed she had been 'misgendered' by a female member of staff who called the sex offender 'son'. Double rapist Isla Bryson has claimed she is a victim of a hate crime after prison guards banned her from wearing makeup. The trans sex offender, named Adam Graham until 2020, was convicted of raping two women prior to transitioning Bryson said in the handwritten letter: 'I'm just dealing with transphobia from staff. 'I was told from a staff member in Edinburgh that the MSP has been telling governors to treat trans women that come into the SPS like men. It's disgusting and a hate crime.' First Minister Humza Yousaf introduced a new hate crime law earlier this month that could see individuals convicted for misgendering a person online. Bryson added: 'They refuse to put any female toiletries or makeup out. I am on blockers just now. I have boobs. I don't sound like a man anymore.' Natalie Beal, governor of HMP Glenochil, reportedly wrote a letter to Bryson apologising that one of her staff had called the sexual predator 'son' by mistake, adding that the officer might not have realised Bryson was trans. It is not the first time that Bryson has hit out at the prison for being 'transphobic. In July she said in another letter: 'I'm not doing too good because of abuse from the staff members, all because I am transgender, and other prisoners too. 'This jail is full of transphobic people. The police are involved because of the abuse to do with 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 licence in February 2023.

The rapist said she had began transitioning at the age of 29 but Bryson's estranged wife Shonna Graham, 31, previouly told MailOnline her former partner's transition was a 'sham for attention'. She said he was 'bull******** the authorities' to avoid a male prison. Critics said the rapist was a threat to female inmates.
