But fellow cons in the female-only wing reckon Baker took on his new identity purely to get special treatment from jail bosses.

And they say they’re sick of the “arrogant” fiend whining about how tough it is behind bars.

A source said: “Baker’s been treated really well since he’s decided to live as a woman but he won’t stop complaining."

The source added: “He claims people hate him because he’s transgender but they have no issue with that.

“Prisoners doubt his real intentions. And his arrogance is a ticking time bomb. The girls won’t put up with it much longer. He was working in the hairdressers but had to be moved as they thought someone might turn the scissors on him.”

Self-pitying Baker — who now goes by the name Alex Stewart — moaned about being transgender in jail paper Inside Time.

He wrote: “To transition in society is hard enough, but to do it in prison is even harder.”

The fiend was pursuing a sex swap when he knifed John at least 16 times at his flat in Bonhill, Dunbartonshire, in 2012. It came just hours after they met on a gay dating site.

Baker was caged for a minimum of 19 years.

He claimed to have acted in self defence but was convicted of murder and attempting to cover up his crime.

At the High Court in Glasgow, Baker was told he must serve at least 19 years in jail before being eligible for parole.

Judge Lord Boyd told Baker he was guilty of a "wicked and brutal" attack.

The judge said: "As for the reason for this, it is only you who will know. John Weir did nothing which remotely justified what happened to him that night."

The Scottish Prison Service last night refused to comment.
