I an on here to start a thread on this topic - it's disgraceful.
There is a petition to try to stop males being transferred to the female estate - apologies if someone has already posted it.

People outside the US can sign.
Effectively judges are sentencing many women to X years of rape and intimidation.
This is the comment I added.
"Prisoners should housed in regard to their BIOLOGICAL SEX, not their gender identity, which is not identifiable, quantifiable or verifiable.
So many women in the prison system are vulnerable, and a huge proportion have been victims of abusive men in the past - it is shameful and unspeakably cruel to force them to share cells and facilities with genitally intact men who claim to be women (and usually "lesbians").
It adds an extra, unacceptable layer of punishment to incarceration."
