"Our schedules were awash with race awareness days, diversity weeks and
asylum seminars. We had training days on transsexuals - how often is the
average immigration case officer going to meet a transsexual?"
It's not so ludicrous as it sounds, though, since on the -- doubtless
rare -- occasions immigration officers and others *do* encounter a
transsexual in the course of their duties, they're going to run into all
sorts of problems with (e.g) the validity of birth certificates and
validity of marriages contracted before and after a sex-change op
No difficulty at all. For a start, there is no such thing as a 'sex
change'. And further, there could simply be a policy that people who
are so mixed up should not be allowed into our homeland.

if for some reason the transsexual is to be detained, whether s/he
should go to a men's or a women's prison.
Again, no difficulty at all, since it is not possible to change sex.
