Men in Women’s Jails

John Stonestreet, Radio Host and Director of the Colson Center

Washington State now allows convicted male felons who identify as female to move to women’s prisons. No surprise but tragic nonetheless, reports are already emerging of biological males abusing and sexually exploiting female inmates.

One convicted child molester was transferred to a Seattle women’s prison after claiming to be a woman and changing his name. He’s now accused of raping a developmentally disabled female inmate.

A former guard told National Review that this predator was one of six men transferred there during his tenure. Another was also a convicted child molester. And all inmates must do to make the switch is convince an administrative panel they’re transgender.

California passed a similar measure, and already nearly 300 inmates have requested transfers… all men, no women. Now, prisons are reportedly handing out birth control. Ideas have consequences, bad ideas have victims—in this case, victims who can’t escape.

Male Swimmer Breaks Women’s Records

John Stonestreet, Radio Host and Director of the Colson Center

To hear the NCAA tell the story, an average swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania became a nationally ranked superstar overnight. Check the receipts, and we learn Will Thomas only started breaking records and winning meets by comically huge margins when he began going by “Lia” Thomas this past year.

Similar incidents are increasingly happening in various sports at all levels, but swimming offers an especially clear picture of what it means when we allow men to compete against women. Success in swimming is heavily dependent on physiology. The length of the body, the body’s center of gravity, and even the placement of a person’s belly button can mean the difference between an average swimmer and a major competitor. A man can identify however he wants, and can even take dangerous hormone supplements, but his belly button isn’t going anywhere.

This sort of let’s-all-pretend-we-don’t-know-what’s-happening groupthink isn’t good for college sports or for women’s rights. It’s not good for Lia Thomas, his teammates, or his competitors. No matter how fast he swims, no man really breaks a women’s record.
