Yesterday it was Illinois: today we're in Washington state. Twice.

First up, from the National Review:

At the Washington Corrections Center for Women, formerly the only exclusively female jail in Washington state, multiple biological male inmates who identify as women have sexually exploited female residents, according to a former inmate who spoke to National Review.

The former female inmate of many years, who chose to remain anonymous, described witnessing and hearing of multiple episodes of sexual assault by convicted transgender felons. The woman herself also says she was sexually assaulted by a transgender inmate.

One transgender inmate in particular — a biological male named Jonathan, who now goes by the name “Jazzy” — was accused of sexual assault in multiple complaints filed with prison staff by female inmates. In one case, a female inmate woke up in bed to find Jazzy with an obvious erection “touching her all over,” according to the anonymous former inmate. (The prison denies having any complaints on file that resemble those described by the inmate.)

The woman reported the incident to staff, but when they confronted Jazzy about the charge against him, he “turned on the waterworks,” the inmate said. Dodging responsibility, Jazzy called the woman he wronged “homophobic” and accused her of “gaslighting.”

The inmate said that in sexual misconduct proceedings, prison staff favor the transgender arrivals by default in order to avoid discrimination litigation. The facility therefore sheltered male predators, incentivizing them to commit more harm, she alleged. WCCW often dismissed females’ claims of sexual assault against transgender perpetrators, in some cases penalizing them, rather than the aggressor, for crying wolf on prison rape, the inmate said. Jazzy’s was no exception.

The woman Jazzy assaulted got in trouble for making a “fake PREA claim” and was subsequently sent to “segregation” per disciplinary protocol, the inmate said. Standing for “Prison Rape Elimination Act,” a falsified PREA claim is addressed by removing the problematic prisoner from the general population for their disruptive behavior, the inmate said. The female was separated but Jazzy didn’t receive so much as a reprimand, the inmate claimed. If found guilty at a subsequent hearing, prisoners can incur loss of “good time,” or forfeiture of a sentence reduction, and can have other privileges revoked, including special food packages not available at the prison commissary, union supply bundles with basic amenities, and gym access and recreation time.

Scott Fleming, a former corrections officer at WCCW, previously told National Review that some male offenders take advantage of the transgender transfer policy just so they can be housed with women. The inmate affirmed that some male criminals with questionable gender-dysphoria diagnoses manipulate the system, which errs on the side of accepting their claims.

Among those "male criminals with questionable gender-dysphoria diagnoses" was one Princess Zoe Andromeda Love, a trans-identified man who had a criminal history which included raping a 12-year-old girl. Love completed his sentence early last year, and according to other inmates he immediately cut his hair and went back to using his male identity upon release.

We've been here before. And no doubt will be here again.

And, number two:

A violent male serial killer who murdered three prostituted women is currently being housed at the Washington Correctional Center for Women after securing a transfer under recent self-identification laws.

Donna Perry, born Douglas, murdered three prostituted women in a four-month timeframe in 1990 – but claimed to have killed nine. Yolanda Sapp, 26, Nicki Lowe, Nicki Lowe, 34, and Kathleen Brisbois, 38, were all murdered with a gun and their bodies were found naked and dumped near the Spokane River.

Perry avoided suspicion following the heinous murders, and fled to Thailand in 2000 to undergo gender reassignment surgeries. It wasn't until a 2012 DNA test following a conviction for illegal firearms possession that Perry was forensically connected to all three murders.

During the trial proceedings, prosecutors contended that Perry had only undergone his gender changes to avoid suspicion for the murders and shirk justice. This was in part fueled by the fact Perry referred to his "male" and "female" identities in separate contexts, accusing his "male" side of having committed the crimes while his "female" identity was innocent of them.

Media reports during Perry's sentencing uniformly referred to him as a "woman" and by "she/her" pronouns. Some also claimed that males who transition experience a "downturn in violence" after identifying as a woman – a claim that was debunked by a peer-reviewed long-term study published by Swedish researchers in 2011 which found that trans-identified males who underwent a full surgical transition "retained a male pattern regarding criminality."

In May 2021, a whistleblower at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) revealed that Perry had been transferred to the women's estate, and was just one of over 150 males in line for the same move.

As I've said before, along with death and taxes the other certainty in this life is that some men will use any chance they get to take advantage of women. And, with gender ideology and self-identification, it's a chance many are happy to seize.
