436:, a transgender woman convicted of stalking a 13-year-old girl, who had successfully applied to be transferred to a women's facility, the Scottish Prison Service announced on 29 January 2023 that it would pause the movement of all transgender prisoners while it carried out an "urgent review" into all of the transgender cases within its prisons. On 9 February the review concluded, and it was announced that transgender people sent to prison in Scotland would initially be housed according to their sex at birth, after which an assessment would be carried out to determine whether it would be suitable to accommodate them in a men's or women's facility. On the Bryson case, the report said that the Scottish Prison Service's procedures had been followed, but that the SPS had received "conflicting and limited information" about Bryson beyond the immediate convictions, and recommended a "shared justice process" for the future admission of transgender people to prison. The report also said that Bryson did not have any contact with the other prisoners during her time at Cornton Vale, and therefore did not pose a risk to them. 155:", that Bryson was "very forceful and intimidating", with Bryson's "words and name-calling" bringing two course lecturers to tears.

A third coursemate also recounted that the course's students "had next to nothing on" when they "all did the one-day spray tanning course" with Bryson; with coursemates having "all accepted for who she wanted to be"; and spoke of "utter shock" when learning of Bryson's conviction. 114:

Bryson's estranged wife said in 2023 that there was no indication during their relationship that Bryson wanted to become a woman, and further accused Bryson of stabbing her and trying to rape her. Bryson's estranged wife also said in 2023 that she had been trying to end the marriage with Bryson for seven years, but was unable to locate Bryson. As of February 2023, Bryson was undergoing hormonal treatment, and had yet to undergo gender-affirming surgery.
399:. Sturgeon confirmed that Bryson would not be allowed to serve her sentence at Cornton Vale: "There is no automatic right for a trans woman convicted of a crime to serve their sentence in a female prison even if they have a gender recognition certificate.
