Do your friends, family, associates find it hard to believe that there are males in women's prisons and jails in 🇺🇸?
Do they have assumptions about what sort of males these might be?
Here's some data. 1/14
Incarcerated women in Minnesota will now be forced to share showers, toilets and sleeping quarters with this man. He won't be the last. Minnesota agreed to change its policies as part of this settlement. BUT that's not all... 1/
Yet again a murderously violent man who targeted women is being housed in a women's prison. Why is this particular placement so maddening and what can we do? 1/

Incarcerated males identifying as "trans" are significantly disproportionately likely to be in for "sex offenses."

This is how our media talks about a young woman reporting, anonymously, due to fear of retaliation, her coach ignoring the concerns of multiple female teammates who are uncomfortable because this male swimmer "still has male body parts" & "there's a decent amount of nudity." 1/5
NY State Assembly has reintroduced Bill from last legislative session to allow males to opt into women's prison based on self-declared "gender identity" only this time…it's even worse. Let’s walk through some low lights. 1/
🚨 As of July 1, 2022, "gender identity" is on path to being enshrined in New York State Constitution. This would make it impermissible to "discriminate" a/k/a *segregate* on the basis of sex. This would include placement in prison housing based on self-declared gender ID. 🚨 1/

NYT has rejected every opinion piece submitted by KPSS over the years. In Feb 2023, we were on their sidewalk for hours with this truck and no reporter reached out.
Meanwhile, more and more men have been moved to women's prisons based on "gender identity."
One year ago today, KPSS asked
@nytimes
about its failure to report on the nationwide shame of male inmates being housed with incarcerated women based on "gender identity."
They still haven't reported, while women are forced to share showers, toilets & sleeping quarters with men.
SOME GOOD NEWS! A FEDERAL INJUNCTION HAS BEEN ISSUED.

Let’s walk through the cross-sex prison housing bill being contemplated in New York State. It may not seem possible, but it seems to be the most outlandish bill yet proposed in the States. Here’s the link: 1/16

NO NEW CROSS-SEX PRISON HOUSING LAW IN MARYLAND!

See KPSS's oral & written testimonies ⬇️ against the law.
48% of federal male inmates identifying as "trans" are imprisoned for a "sex offense." (Prior tweet) This compares to fewer than 12% of the general population (all men and all women) of federal inmates. FOUR TIMES THE RATE. 10/14
In no universe is it a human right for males - however they identify - to shower, sleep and use toilet facilities with and next to vulnerable traumatized women. 14b/14

ACLU is now issuing subpoenas on a *whistleblower* and, until there was pushback, on her communications with a journalist.
Outside of the medical industry, has any organization fallen further from its mission?
Strange evening. The ACLU of Missouri subpoenaed Jamie Reed, demanding (among other stuff) all her communications w/me. I emailed them saying (politely) wtf, you're the ACLU. Got a call from a lawyer there saying it was a mistake -- "It's a big team." Okay.
In response to a FOIA request, KPSS has received a current (Aug 19, 2023) Transgender Inmate Report from 🇺🇸 Bureau of Prisons.

Welcome to our new account campaigning for the rights of women in prison in the USA to be held in prisons that are single-sex.
Our first page on California is up on our website:
Even were these males not disproportionately sex offenders, even if their crimes were not violent, even if they were castrated, even if they were not attracted to women, males do not belong in women's intimate spaces. It is distressing and harmful to women. 14a/14
It is despicable to call women's distress at being unwantingly exposed to male genitalia "cruel." You can read here about the potential legal implications given what the female athletes are reported to have been subjected to: 5/5
86% of women in jail have experienced pre-incarceration sexual violence. This is an already traumatized population. The U.S. is placing genitally intact, female-attracted, violent, sexually-offending criminal males in women's prisons and jails. 13/14
Under 15% of trans-identifying males have undergone genital surgery. There are males with fully intact genitalia in women's prisons and jails throughout the United States. 6/14
Here's the article
@SInow
is referring to when it suggests young women's reports are "cruel" b/c they are upset at being unwantingly exposed to male genitalia. There's nothing cruel in here: 3/5
This is a man, The biggest giveaway isn’t the wig or voice or anything to do with appearance. It’s when the real woman suddenly has to modulate herself in order to prevent potential violence.
Here's this revolting article, if you can bear it, disparaging young women for reporting they are uncomfortable with being forced to share a locker room with someone with male genitalia. 2/5
Really appreciate coverage of this issue, but this: "Interestingly, no one that we're aware of has taken a close forensic look at where the money is coming from and where it's going" is odd given that

Men shouldn't be in women's prisons and jail, even those who claim girly-feelings.
Birth certificates, passports, drivers' licenses are government documents which shouldn't be altered because someone has embraced sex-stereotypes.
@Serena_Partrick
A late 1980s 🇺🇸 television show called Designing Women had an entire episode (in which a character had been mugged) encouraging women not to care about hurting men's feelings if we felt unsafe.
Almost 40 years later women are subjected to this. It's incredible.
This language would dismantle any rights to single-sex spaces controlled by businesses (bathrooms, locker rooms in restaurants, gyms, spas, etc.) or by government (schools, gvt buildings, prisons, etc.) should anyone seek to enter them based on self-declared "gender identity." 4/
It is not a human right for males to be housed in women's prisons.
It *is* a violation of Rule 11(a) of the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners to house men in women's prison units.

Booo. You're no beacon of light for woman and girls whose single sex spaces no longer exist. Or for children and vulnerable young people whose body integrity will be invaded.
Every other state law on prison housing has simply pretended as though women would not have any concerns. In NY, they figured out that women might have "complaints" and have built into the law that WOMEN’S SAFETY, COMFORT AND DIGNITY MUST BE ACTIVELY DISREGARDED. 8b/16
Please let NYS legislature know what you think of resolution for constitutional amendment which would enshrine "gender identity" in law, permitting anyone access to previously single-sex spaces based on self-declared gender identity: 6/6

There are males in women's prisons and jails in 🇺🇸 largely due to regulations under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, known as PREA Standards. While the Act itself did not contemplate cross-sex housing, the Standards (at 28 CFR 115.42(c)) almost casually reference it: 2/14
WHAT CAN YOU DO?

What if a male inmate does not present a “current danger of committing gender-based violence,” but engages in misconduct towards female inmates, like sexual harassment? Does this Bill allow him to be returned to the men’s prison on this basis?
No.
8/
It *should* be enough to simply say: "they're male, that's why they need to stay out."
However, people not immersed in the issue sometimes need data before they understand it. That's okay. We'll find and share all the data we can; it's horrifying and persuasive.
Almost 50% of trans-identified male inmates in federal custody are in prison for sex offences. This is compared to just 11% of non-transgender male inmates.
One man currently coded as 'female' by the B.O.P was convicted for sexually abusing two toddlers.
The key provision of Bill introduced yesterday in NY State legislature remains the same: inmates are to be PRESUMPTIVELY housed in correctional facility which most closely aligns with their “gender identity” regardless of their sex. 2/
It is not a human right to demand that people lie about biological reality and it is not a human right for criminal males to elect to share showers, toilets and sleeping quarters with vulnerable incarcerated women and girls.
#KeepPrisonsSingleSex
Trans women have the right to recognition of their self-identified gender – but in most countries, this is not available or subject to abusive restrictions. Making even everyday tasks difficult & potentially dangerous. Let’s demand change!
#StandUp4HumanRights
#TransWomenAreWomen
Under Bill pending in NY State legislature, inmates can claim a “gender identity” at any time rendering them eligible for cross-sex housing placement and can opt in and opt out and opt in and opt out of cross sex housing. 4/
In the 1 year since ⬇️, it became public another incarcerated ♀️ reported being raped by a ♂️ inmate at Rikers Island in NYC & NYS reintroduced legislation which would presume prison housing based on "gender identity" rather than sex.
And still
@nytimes
has not reported on this.
Next step to passage:
1. pass another session of the state legislature;
2. voter referendum.
We've a lot of work to do sharing w fellow citizens what it means to codify "gender identity" in law.
In the meantime, pls let the NYS legislature know what you think ... 5/
60+% of trans-identifying males say they are sexually attracted to women. (And this from a survey of males not trying to declare an unverifiable non-disprovable identity to opt into women's prison.) 7/14 transequalityorg./sites/default/files/docs/usts/USTS-Full-Report-Dec17.pdf

First, the story, which many of you know, but some do not: In Nov 2016, widely-platformed "trans" activist Dana Rivers (formerly known as David Warfield) was arrested, covered in blood and gasoline, leaving the East Oakland, California home of Patricia Wright & Charlotte Reed. 2/
What's happened in 🇺🇸 prisons in the last few months?
As more & more males have been placed in women's prisons, predictably, there have been more reports of rapes, assaults, pregnancies, threats.

•Biology
•Sexual orientation

This is what is at stake with the so-called Equality Act in the U.S.
This rapist/murderer will have a right to be housed in a women's prison and the state will be subject to a discrimination lawsuit if it tries to keep him out.
PREA Standards (at 28 CFR 115.42(g)) also forbid having dedicated or segregated units for trans-identifying inmates. More aggressive litigation and enforcement has meant that informal such units have been disbanded: 3/14
Should this Bill pending in the NY legislature pass will we be able to track the impact of male inmates housed in women’s correctional facilities?
We will not.
We will not be able to learn the sex of those transferred based on "gender identity." 10/

Only basis under Bill for denying cross-sex housing:
“clear and convincing evidence” (high probability standard) of “current danger” (not history, pattern, past crimes) of committing “gender-based” (nobody knows what “gender” means here) “violence” (harassment not sufficient). 7/
Under Bill pending in NY State legislature, correctional departments are forbidden from requiring any documentation supporting claims of “gender identity.” 5/

It's no secret that NOW actively works against the interests of women. We're not the only organization in this situation ⬇️, but this⬆️ level of depravity is truly something to see.
Attorneys General from 20 states filed a lawsuit challenging this guidance, which is not technically law or reg, but which was presented as the agencies' final interpretations of law, subjecting governed entities to pot'l loss of fed funds and lawsuits if they did not comply. 4/
What if someone is denied cross sex housing placement? This Bill pending in NY legislature permits a grievance and allows an inmate to go to court to force the transfer and can obtain money damages and attorney fees. There is no downside to trying this. 9/
We are turning the world upside down for these fetishistic, narcissistic, high-chasing, covetous, violent men.
All our laws, our culture, our norms. This is insane.
This violent lunatic is likely to end up in a women's prison (if he's even incarcerated for more than a few days).
Eligibility for such cross-sex housing under Bill pending in NY State legislature includes:
•Gender identity different than assigned sex at birth
•Diagnosis of gender dysphoria
•Self-identifies as transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary or intersex
