TRANSGENDER sex fiend Isla Bryson has been jailed for eight years over the double rape ‘she’ committed as a man named Adam Graham.
The perv was sentenced this morning at the High Court in Edinburgh after having been found guilty of sex attacks on two vulnerable mums.
Bryson, 31, was handed an 11 years extended sentence, eight of which will be spent in custody and then an extension of three years on licence when she is released.
Judge Lord Scott told Bryson: "Your vulnerability is no excuse for what you did to these two women."
He said Bryson, of Clydebank, preyed on his vulnerable victims and raped then in their own homes where they should have felt safe.
Bryson posed a high risk of reoffending and would need to be supervised upon release.
she had been due to learn her fate at the High Court in Stirling, the closest court to female prison Cornton Vale where the beast was originally sent after her January conviction.
But the court switch to the capital came after Bryson was transferred to man's jail Saughton in Edinburgh after a public outcry forced a u-turn by jail bosses.
We were first to reveal Bryson was on trial at the High Court in Glasgow over claims she raped two vulnerable mum’s with ‘her penis’.
A five-day trial heard Bryson preyed on the victims in 2016 and 2019 while living as a man – but began living as a woman after being charged with the sex attacks.

During the trial, Advocate Depute John Keenan KC revealed Bryson was in the process of starting surgery to complete gender reassignment.
He revealed a letter from the predator's GP from last August confirmed Bryson was "receiving maximum recommended doses of spironolactone and finasteride" – a hormone prescription from Glasgow's sexual health service, the Sandyford Clinic.
The court heard the sex fiend was also offered an appointment at the clinic within the next year to be prescribed further hormone treatment.
But before Bryson began to transition, one of his victims told how she met Adam Graham – a "muscular" man – after initially hooking up on the dating site Badoo in 2016.
The woman said she began chatting with him "daily and nightly" before he moved into her home in Clydebank where at first the accused was a "loving and caring person".
But she said the relationship took a sinister twist after her family raised concerns about the relationship.
She recalled: "My family realised it before I could because I love head over heels."
Recalling her ordeal she said: "He knew people that could cause an attack or harm my family if I had said anything.
"I was more scared and sick to the stomach.”
The woman's sister also told jurors Bryson – who she also knew as Adam Graham – had a facial tattoo like boxer Mike Tyson.
Asked by Mr Keenan to describe Bryson’s appearance in 2016, she said: "His head was bald. He had a Mike Tyson tattoo on the side of his face. He was stocky, but not overly."
Edward Targowski KC, defending, said: "It's not a straightforward case as the Crown would make out of women being preyed on by a man."
Addressing Bryson after the guilty verdict, judge Lord Scott said: "Ms Bryson, you have been convicted of two extremely serious charges, this being charges of rape.
"A significant custodial sentence is inevitable."
We told how Nicola Sturgeon's final weeks before her resignation bombshell had been dominated by the gender self-ID row and the Isla Bryson scandal.
Last month's decision to place the trans double rapist in all female jail Cornton Vale before a U-turn sparked a backlash.
And the fallout has seen the First Minister repeatedly refuse to say if she believes Bryson is a man or a woman.
The scandal came after Holyrood backed self-ID in December.
