It&#39;s not possible to change sex, and any non-biological definition of womanhood is sexist. <br/><br/>But this pattern does illustrate the way men are exploiting prison policies at the expense of vulnerable women.<br/> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HINx17GWIAEniYU.jpg"> <br/> 2026-05-15T17:20:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv597xw0z5yn03jy5tvhtzh5jzrnywf0leu5cyd2unhw9mykdsxjqzyq62knamxqn9u0x0y90yjcj7fnncualtdp3hltkrtax89fyekru4kjkqduj Housing incarcerated women with men is a violation of the UN&#39;s Nelson Mandela rules on prison management. <br/><br/>#NotOurCrimes #KeepPrisonsSingleSex<br/> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HH1bQK2XQAAD13m.jpg"> <br/> 2026-05-09T00:51:00Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgmu3y6f9gfwq6urdfwc37uvswvsdchxuymfv86edtq7tdqp67yfszyq62knamxqn9u0x0y90yjcj7fnncualtdp3hltkrtax89fyekru4kj2cdn7 On October 28th, [@forest_romm](<a href="https://bird.makeup/users/forest_romm">https://bird.makeup/users/forest_romm</a> ), WDI USA State Contact for MA, testified before the Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women on the subject of men in women&#39;s prisons. <br/><br/>&#34;More than 86% of the women incarcerated at MCI Framingham have survived sexual abuse by men.

Women and girls in California and Maine are just as entitled to single-sex sports and spaces as women and girls in West Virginia and Idaho. Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause are, after all, nationwide laws that apply across all fifty states and the District of Columbia. . . . <br/><br/>In these matters, the Court has an opportunity to put this entire discussion to rest. Sex means sex, even if some people claim to have “gender identities” that are somehow inconsistent with their sex.
