Rose Doe, a former inmate at New York’s Rikers Island women’s prison, was harassed and raped by a male inmate in 2022. In her lawsuit against the New York Department of Corrections, she alleged that the perpetrator told a cellmate that he was “transgender” just so he could have access to women. The number of sex crimes that led to his imprisonment should have been evidence enough of what was likely to happen.

Ms. Doe’s story is not unique. In 2020, Tomika Johnson, who was in an abusive marriage before her imprisonment, was forced to live with a male serial rapist, Richard Masproch, at a women’s facility in central California. When she pointed out the increasing incidence of inmate-only incidents, including rape, at the prison, she was told to “give her a chance.” She believes that “California has shocked her again.”

More than 20 years ago, President George W. Bush signed the Prison Rape Elimination Act. Its goal was to eliminate inmate rape. Just this week, a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee, chaired by Cory Booker, D-N.J., held a hearing to assess the state of sexual assault since the law was passed.

But the hearing seemed to largely avoid the elephant in the room: the sharp rise in sexual assaults on female prisoners forced to share cramped spaces with men who identify as women—including men in prison for sexual assault.

The battles to preserve the natural distinction between men and women in the law have raged from coast to coast for more than a decade. Fortunately, in some cases, states have passed favorable laws to protect women’s athletics or restrict the use of irreversible drugs and surgeries for minors in sexual distress.

But women in local, state, and federal prisons are the most silent and ignored in our public discussions. As a result, they remain highly vulnerable and unusual.

The men who seek to enter women’s prisons are not a random sample. Of the 161 biological men incarcerated in the Wisconsin Department of Corrections who identify as transgender, 50.3 percent have been convicted of at least one count of sexual assault or sexual abuse.
There are 2,186 incarcerated people who identify as transgender, nonbinary, or intersex in California. A third of the biological males in this group who seek to transfer to women’s prisons are convicted sex offenders.
None of this should come as a surprise, as there are innate biological differences between men and women. We know that men are, on average, larger, stronger, and more violent than women. We also know that men commit nearly all rapes.
That’s why we have separate prisons for men and women in the first place. This separation is even more important, not less important, when it comes to males incarcerated for violent sex crimes.
But political elites in Congress have manipulated the Rape Prevention Act, in the name of justice, to ensure that trans male prisoners are treated as women. But the measure of justice that the clown world is characterized by trumps the safety and privacy of female prisoners. This manipulation of the twenty-year-old civil rights law violates the intentions of its authors and the women it was designed to protect.

When it comes to prison, prisoners have no choice about where they live, or where their privacy is curtailed. As a result, Congress should revisit the Prison Rape Elimination Act to ensure that prisons are once again governed by law, order, and common sense.

Women should not be sacrificed on the altar of gender ideology simply because they are behind bars.
