Moving a 50-year-old transgender Martin Ponting to a women's prison after undergoing a sex change has raised uneasiness among the fellow convicts, with an inmate threatening to self-harm in order to stay away from Ponting. 

Ponting is not the first transgender rapist who has been transferred to a women's jail after a sex change. His victims feel humiliated and offended, saying that it feels like a kick in the teeth and a mockery to the people he offended.
