Campaigners say Hudson faces "extreme danger of abuse, sexual violence, and even death".

A Change.org petition calling for Hudson to be moved has been signed by thousands of people. The petition description says people like Hudson are "paying a high price" at the hands of an outdated judicial system, "simply for being who they are".

One of the campaigners, Ceri Jenkins, said she created the petition so Hudson didn't feel "alone" and knew people were in her corner.

"Trans and other LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender) people are fighting a constant battle against oppressive systems and ideologies, and this can be so exhausting and disheartening," she said. "They need allies to step up to the plate, to help raise their voices, and to lift them to a place where they can be heard for themselves."
