Texas Judge Upholds Right Of Incarcerated Women to Be Housed Away From “Trans-Identifying” Men
Among those men were at least four sex offenders; a murderer; and a violent, armed bank robber whose goal was to overthrow the United States government.
Under the reality-denying concept of “transgender,” which was enshrined in federal regulation in 2012, more and more incarcerated men have been permitted to opt into women’s prisons based on self-identification. There have been some legal challenges to this, but, until now, these efforts have not yet been successful.
In the wake of President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) on Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, two women incarcerated at the sole women’s medical center in the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) system filed suit. This EO included a provision requiring federal agencies to “ensure that males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers.” Due to the DC district court issuing Preliminary Injunctions on behalf of male inmates demanding to continue to be housed in women’s prison, the EO has not been implemented.
In their Complaint, the two female inmates, Rhonda Fleming and Miriam Crystal Herrera, identified at least nine men housed in their facility, FMC Carswell. Citing to court decisions and media reports, the women asserted that among those men were at least four sex offenders (“a sexual offender convicted of attempted enticement to engage in sexual activity” “a repeat sexual offender whose prior victims include a nine-year-old boy and seventeen-year-old girl” “a convicted sex offender” “raped a seventy-five-year-old woman and pleaded guilty to kidnapping and indecent acts with a child”); a murderer; and a violent, armed bank robber whose goal was to overthrow the United States government on behalf of the “Aryan Republican Army.”
The women’s Complaint includes photographs of some of the men.
The women describe they understood that only one of the men had undergone genital surgery and they assert specific ongoing activity by the men such as being stared at while in the showers; being subjected to exhibitionism and to verbal, physical and sexual assault. They claim that one man has “sex with a woman who reportedly suffers from mental illness” and another “continues to sexually harass female inmates and officers.” They also allege that the men (and some staff sympathetic to the men) target women who object to being housed with them. The targeting includes physical intimidation, “accidental” unwanted bodily contact, false accusations of misconduct and verbal threats.
In their Complaint the women sought, among other relief, Declaratory Judgment that the federal regulation permitting men to be housed with women based on “transgender” status violates the Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Being incarcerated with men infringes on their right to bodily privacy, subjects them to cruel and unusual punishment, and violates their right to freely exercise their religion.
They also sought a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) preventing BOP from “housing any male inmate (meaning any person who is biologically male, regardless of gender identity) within the general population of any housing unit where either Plaintiff is presently or will be confined” and from “permitting any male inmate to enter or remain in any female-only privacy area (including showers, restrooms, changing areas, or dormitory spaces) to which either Plaintiff has access, so that Plaintiffs are not exposed to male inmates while showering, toileting, dressing or sleeping.”
A Texas district court judge found the women met their burden of proof and were entitled to a TRO granting them those two provisions of relief.
The judge ordered a hearing in December on BOP’s defense that the women had not exhausted administrative relief as required under Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This is also a defense BOP raised in the claims filed by the male inmates in DC district court. The court’s preliminary injunctions there in favor of the men are currently under appellate review.

Dear God, maybe the women should castrate these bastards in the shower
We don’t have a justice system anymore and women have literate lost their rights and minds
I agree that women castrating the fake women would be appropriate. However, they are men and are much stronger physically – so it is unlikely to be a viable prospect
Like 10 women could hold him down while one does the deed
So you are advocating / embracing the surgical acceleration the man’s delusions of being a woman. How evil !
sarc lol – not sure if sarc or lol or both is the correct
Remember it’s the democrats who are pushing these ideas. It has to stop.
I’m not aware of any female Dem that has risen in objection to this practice of housing men (wannabe women) with women in a women’s prison. It’s also interesting that Dem women are never forced to defend their silence and tacit approval.
If I were facing time in the big house, I’d dye my hair blonde and start walking around on all fours. Thus, identifying as a Golden Lab, I would demand to be housed in the local dog pound with hopes of being adopted by a nice family.
and if not adopted by nice family you get the following.
1. adopted by a local laboratory
and subject to tests.
2. put down.
Truly, that gives one paws.
Which reminds me of the anecdote I heard (2nd hand, admittedly) about a young Hispanic man who was facing a long stretch of incarceration in California.
He underwent breast augumentation before he went into prison; not because he was transgender, but because he thought a nice pair of boobies would ensure his protection by some high-status male while he was in the joint (no pun intended)
Richard Speck took female hormones for the same reason
There video of him and a black man having sex in prison
He was very popular
Just so disgusting
Dolce – that reminds me of my sparring partner from my high school golden glove days. 139lb twice state champ. Went to prison for 2-3 years. Small pretty white boy was the perfect prison bride – or so they thought. He was accousted his first week by the ring leader and his gang. He put the ring leader down very quickly, then went to the second gang member who proceeded to back off. He got left alone the rest of his term.
why?
the applauses light up when “justice” is done inside of these prisons
who better to facilitate that “justice” than a male
So men’s prisons, women’s prisons and actual women’s prisons.
Or we could just put men in men’s prison and women in women’s prisons and ignore the whiners.
