Excerpt

The judge has issued a ruling in Andrea Kelly’s motion to intervene against the ACLU’s attempts to prevent the lawful public disclosure of records about male transfers into Washington State female correctional facilities. Judge Thomas Rice, who expressed clear indications from the beginning of the case that he sympathizes with the ACLU’s attempts to protect males transferred into women’s prisons, denied the motion to intervene and removed Kelly from the lawsuit - but not before Ms. Kelly obtained critical information from the Department of Corrections as part of the DOC’s court filings in this lawsuit.

The court records revealed the answers to many of the questions our client sought to obtain from the Washington State Department of Corrections through her Public Records Act Request, and also corroborated whistle-blower reports from local radio station KIRO-FM that a serial rapist is now being housed in the Washington Correctional Center for Women. However, the judge also granted an injunction against the public release of the responsive documents.

These records confirm our suspicion that the ACLU of Washington is seeking to suppress public records requests which prove that male rapists are being housed with vulnerable women in Washington prisons, and that there are official complaints of sexual assault by these men from within the prison.

Wow. The lengths they went to to suppress this.

I know. It's quite astounding that the ACLU of all orgs is in favour of suppression.

Guess only the civil liberties of male people matter.

Sick, sick, sick. Who is looking out for the women in that prison?

Nobody apart from WoLF it seems. Who by the way have a garden for anyone interested.

It's one of those ironic names. They're in favour of civil liberty for some people, others not so much. It helps if you are stunning and brave.

Chase Strangio works for them.

Posting a related article on this thread. This is a shocking piece about exactly what MTF trans people in the US who have been featured in news articles as vulnerable victims done to be jailed for life.

KQED have released a series of articles and videos on the plight of these prisoners, and they're not alone - there's plenty of media interest in this specific demographic - 1% male of the prison population. Because of the sole focus on the prisoner and their side of the story, it's not possible to establish the crimes that have sent them down often for decades in high security. The prisoners use different names, normally without giving their born names.
I have sympathy for vulnerable people in prison. It is without doubt a place of violence, threat and, often, misery. But the endless focus on transwomen prisoners, rather than any other - young, effeminate, gay, or with learning or behavioural problems, or traumatised and mentally unwell, is vastly disproportionate to the numbers.

There's endless dismissal of women's concerns, with lines like this "One inmate, who is a trans man, expressed his response to these claims, which are founded in debunked myths that trans people access female spaces to prey on cisgender women"
Founded in debunked myths? Have they seen this blog?
The complaints from the cis women here are that these are men coming here and they’ve been traumatized by men and so they shouldn’t have to live with them,” Mychal Concepcion told the Los Angeles Times. “I have repeatedly said that they’re women” "
