Women's rights group seeks halt to transgender prisoners
In a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Women’s Liberation Front accused the state of violating the constitutional rights of incarcerated women by allowing men into their living quarters to “prey on women.” Since the law took effect on Jan. 1, WLF has received numerous complaints of assaulted, abused, and traumatized women at the hands of male inmates transferred into their prisons, WoLF Legal Director Lauren Adams said.
“We are working with a woman who was punched in the face so hard by a new transfer that she couldn’t chew for three days. He was taken away and released back in a different yard with no restrictions,” Adams said. “He was her cellmate. She had to sleep with him.”
Other women have been sexually abused in the past and must now contend with nude men sharing communal showers, Adams said.

It seems the group have released an updated statement around this:
At a recent CCWF Captains’ Meeting, one woman read a statement in which she pleaded for help and accused COs of ignoring their previous concerns about being housed with a serial rapist:

I've been noticing that these so called feminists hate trans women and men. They even got a film banned that only aired once in 1993 and it was Men Don't Tell. You can see it on YouTube. Only place you can watch it.

Are they feminists, or are they TERFs?

TERFs are radical feminists. I should have said radical.

TERFs are radical feminists. I should have said radical.
In this context I think the TE matters more than the R.
Not all feminists are trans-exclusionary and the ones who are can't be taken as though they're the norm.

Resentment is building here in the UK about the letting trans people pick the sex of prison they want to be in.
In 2016 Male-born trans prisoners were allowed to request a transfer to women's jails. Just one year later a convicted rapist (Karen White) who identified as a female and was put into a female prison raped two women and was later jailed for life. Not surprisingly there are plenty of people who are going to abuse such a right, especially people convicted of abusing others..............
What's that got to do with men being sent to women's prisons when they aren't even trans to begin with? Or being sent to women's prisons if they have a history of abusing women?
I would take accusations from this organization that these people aren't even trans with a grain of salt. They obviously have a bigger agenda that isn't just about "women's rights".

Exactly, how often did these people care about sexual assaults in prisons before they could tie it to their anti-trans agenda?

Oh. Well that answers he question I asked.

Reason is a scarcity, these days.
There are very few validly binary concepts, in life.
