The decision was made after a newspaper investigation in which women at the institution described sexual abuse and said they feared the person. Correctional officers and the union had also sounded the alarm, according to Expressen.
Department Director Susanne Wedin has now confirmed the decision to relocate the person.
We have applied the exception available to us so that the person in this case is no longer placed in a women's institution, she tells Expressen.
The case has sparked debate about the new gender identity law.
