A transgender woman who has been incarcerated in a male jail without access to her hormone medication was refused bail in the Supreme Court on Friday.

Evie Amati spent three days in the male section of Silverwater Prison after she allegedly attacked three people with an axe at a convenience store in Enmore.

She was moved to Cessnock prison, where she also started in the male section before she was moved in with the women.

But her barrister Charles Waterstreet argued she should be released into the community as she was not receiving her hormone therapy and there was no endocrinologist at the prison.
