Another superb choice. Thank goodness for the Alicia Beckmann’s of the world. FYI, an excellent site, and worthwhile to follow on Twitter, is Keep Prisons Single Sex USA, an offshoot of Keep Prisons Single Sex in the UK: https://usa.kpssinfo.org/

Unrelated, but does anyone have contact or website info for Roar Women NYC? They have what look to be good posters v Prop 1 that can be download, but I can’t find a link anywhere. Here’s the tweet where I saw this: https://twitter.com/RoarWomenNYC/status/1836971154495414687

This is really shocking . Is rape and sexual harrassment now part of the punishment ? I am UK based and have not (yet) heard of this happening here but we always follow the US so I guess it is just a matter of time - or maybe it is secret to protect the trans prisoners ?

This originated with the UK, not the US.

Look up the horror-shows Katie Dolatowski, Barbie Kardashian & Karen Smith. They're some of the very WORST, and they made the news years ago.

Look up Harryetta Johnson, Andrew George, Sophie Eastwood, Alex Stewart, Susan Cuthbert, Sarah Baker, Rachelle Mikhnevich and Paris Bregazzi.

Look up Trans Crime UK: https://transcrimeuk.com/

Look up Keep Prisons Single Sex UK: https://www.crimeandjustice.org.uk/resources/womens-prisons-should-be-single-sex

Look up Reddux: https://reduxx.info

Americans are not responsible for teaching Brits how to be terrible people. Brits already know.

I feel like saying that I am not really British ! I am half Asian and would not be here if it were not for my mother's romantic ideas about England - shared unfortunately by many born in the old Empire , sigh .

Please do not blame America for what's wrong with the UK.

The British are to blame for their own problems.

No, it’s been happening here in UK for years. Keep Prisons Single Sex https://kpssinfo.org/ was set up to campaign against this cruel and unusual punishment of women prisoners and there’s also a US organisation of the same name.

Actually I had heard of some cases but there is also a lot of keeping quiet about dodgy things in prisons eg the absence of toilet facilities in some prisons leading to untreatable levels of hepatitis etc . I think a lot of what goes on might be protected by the 'Official Secrets Act ' which covers a multitude of horrors . The UK isn't a truth respecting country and we are all subjects and not citizens so don't have many rights .

Kudos to Ms. Dansky for "deadnaming" the four male prisoners.

If the policy of placing men who "identify as" women in women's prisons were put to a popular vote in the states where this is being done, would a majority of the voters approve? It is difficult to believe they would. Any fence-sitters would be surely repelled by the magnitude and nature of the men's crimes.

I hope sex realist activists are mounting legal and political challenges to this disgraceful practice. Adult men generally make quite repulsive women. That and the repugnance over the presence of male prisoners in women's facilities make this a much less appealing cause for nice bougie trans allies than "Trans Kids!®"

Prisons are another front in the genderist assault on sex where society suffers when gatekeeping is abolished. In an ideal world, any male inmate who identifies as a female and seeks a transfer to a women's prison would need to be evaluated by qualified experts in order to determine whether the claim is persistent, insistent and consistent over time or whether it is a ploy to move to a less harsh environment and, perhaps, to gain access to potential victims.

Thank you once again for highlighting this issue.

Bravo to Alicia. This takes courage. I just brought this topic up on a live recently on Tik Tok. Most people still don't know this is happening, and or don't believe it.Many support it because they think the men have to be surgically altered. They don't know that you can be fully intact, bearded and bulge- ready to enter the female prison. Kamala Harris pretty much denied it on national television when Trump mentioned it. I googled, male to female in prisons U.N. human rights violation, and it doesn't readily come up. It almost looks like the U.N. supports this now. It mentioned how the U.S. is the only country on Earth to allow this "right."The right to rape women supported by the government, only in the U.S. The Handmaiden party demands women be subservient to men and submit to all thier needs. F*** Tim Walz!

It's not ALMOST the case, it IS the case that the U.N. is 100% on board with trans ideology.

To care about "the safety of women" is transphobic, unless men are included in the "woman" category.

So they’ve abandoned the Nelson Mandela rules? Those are far right now? I wrote a letter to UN women. Being critical of a new mandated belief system is our right.
