I remember, many many years ago, reading a quote from Barbra Streisand that said something along the lines of her greatest fear was being injured, laying there in the street, and people standing around and taking pictures and telling each other it was Barbara Streisand and not helping her. The point being everyone would look but not help.
That's how I feel about the women who are being forced to be incarcerated with men.
From the women being leered at, threatened, harassed, assaulted while they sleep in their bunks or while they shower, to being groped, spit on, threatened and raped. It's as if society is standing around, watching this, talking about it, and then turning their backs and walking away.
I have lost so many women followers on Twitter because they were silenced for speaking out about their experiences in prison with biological males. I have a glimmer of hope with Elon Musk taking over Twitter, but that doesn't help anyone today or even tomorrow.
I shouldn't be surprised that these women have been silenced, but I am. Perhaps I am still naive in my belief in human rights for women, but not having them is not something I will ever get used to.
I am currently reading several stories about women inmates that have had a Form 115 written up on them. This is a discipline report that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation uses for serious rule violations. The violations consisted of misgendering a male prisoner as "he", stating they felt uncomfortable sharing a 10x15 cell with a man, to reporting being physically or verbally assaulted.
It would be nice if the Department of Corrections used as much diligence in supporting women as they do with protecting the predators and abusers they have forced them to live with.
We are seeing the immediate effects on these women but there is also the long-term effect of dealing with past trauma and transgressions, to building a new future with hopeful optimism and a support system. A system that forces you to be housed with an abuser is a system that has already determined that you will fail and that is where they are putting their time, energy, and work towards.
Making sure women fail and are kept silent. Evil is never pleasant to see or talk about but what is being done to these women is evil.
Many of the males in women's prisons are convicted sex offenders who know how to work the system. There are no repercussions or punishment for them abusing the women or taunting the women and it doesn't help that the ACLU is covering their costs.
Maybe the fact that a CDCR lieutenant was one of 19 arrested in human trafficking would be a good place to start looking.
Three people were arrested for trying to contact juveniles for lewd purposes through social media and dating apps. One of those arrested was a lieutenant with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Lt. Jose Donaciano Valdez allegedly tried to meet with a 13-year-old girl at a hotel but the girl turned out to be an undercover officer. CDCR told 17 news that Valdez has been placed on administrative leave.

Let's start by looking at the people running these facilities. Let's put body cameras on all the staff and put everything out in the open. Let us see what is going on there 24/7 and see the truth. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
You don't need to look too far for the people behind the attempted genocide of women. You just have to find out who benefits and it's always the predator.
This is the face of an 84-year-old man who is now identifying as a female. He has lived his life as a male and has never undergone hormone therapy, counseling, or any type of sex reassignment surgery. He has never even dressed as a woman or had any of his legal documents changed. He identified as a male until he was recently arrested and suddenly, he says he is a woman and the entire judicial system is playing along.
This is the face of a man named Harvey Marcelin who is a male serial killer of women who will now be housed with women as he serves out his sentence for the murder and butchering of Susan Leyden. Her remains were found in his home.
He murdered her 1 week after being released from prison.
This is a man who was last seen with Susan Leyden as she was entering his home with a colorful bag on 2/27/2022.
On 3/3/2022 a woman's torso was discovered in a garbage bag on a busy street in New York.
On 3/8/2022 a leg was discovered a few blocks from where the torso was found. A search of his home turned up a human head and electric saws. A severed leg was found 4 blocks from his home.
He was found sitting on Leyden's severed leg in a store while in a wheelchair.
Harvey has been a busy boy.
He blamed his crimes on "Youth and poor judgment."
While in custody in 2001 he was found having oral sex with another inmate. Nothing was done. No penalty and no punishment.
He has spent more than 50 years in jail.
“I have problems with women,” said HarveyMarcelin, & proved it by killing 3 of them. Then he magically became one. Now, this serial killer, this violent, hateful misogynist, will be held in a woman's prison. Because what men want, men get. And fuck the safety of women."
This tweet succinctly summarized my exact feelings about this and all the other predators, not only being allowed to prey on women but actually encouraged to do so.
When Oren Yaniv, the Director of Communication at Brooklyn's District Attorney's office was asked if he would be incarcerated in a female correctional facility, he said "To the best of my knowledge, yes."
When Yaniv was asked about the precautions to be taken to protect inmates and his concern about their safety, his response was "I'm sure they are taking precautions now."
Does he not know and understand the law? The facility CANNOT treat Harvey any differently than the women already incarcerated. That would be discrimination against poor Harvey and hurt his feelings. Once a man says he's a woman, everything changes. He has to not only be referred to by their preferred pronouns, but you also cannot do anything to treat them differently from any biological female. He will be allowed to shower with women, sleep in the same cell as women, and as we have learned in California if there is a complaint against him, the person filing the complaint will be disciplined. Women inmates have been disciplined when they reported being assaulted because they said "he" instead of "she" when referring to the man who attacked them.
He's sure. He doesn't know, but he's sure it will all be just fine. I wonder if he would feel that way if he cared about a female inmate that would be housed near or with Harvey. Maybe then he would find out and do all he could do to protect the women. But he's sure.
But Yaniv has taken extra care to use the pronoun of "she" when referring to Harvey. He said he wanted to make sure to show Harvey the proper respect.
Read that again - The DA's office's highest priority is showing a serial killer of women the proper respect.
Men's feelings are more important than the safety of women and our mental health.
STOP REFERRING TO HARVEY AS "SHE!" EVERY SINGLE TIME ANYONE DOES THAT, YOU ARE GIVING VALIDITY AND POWER TO HIM AND TO ALL MEN THAT PRETEND TO BE WOMEN IN ORDER TO PREY ON US. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It chips away at our rights, our identity, who we are, and our safety. Just like water dripping on a rock, you may not be able to see the damage, but it's there. Every. Single. Drop. It matters.
The BBC was forced to admit and edit the alleged "female" killer as a biological male. We should ALL do that. Enough is enough. You cannot change your biological sex and let's stop pretending that you can.

We have had a fight on our hands and it's time to push back and not accept the loss of ourselves. I find the insanity impossible to understand but I can see it and refuse to agree to it, no matter what.
I was asked if this was a hill I was willing to die on and I didn't have a second of hesitation when I said "YES!"
If you would like more information, feel free to message me and let me know what I can do to help. If we all speak up and take action, we can turn this around.
