UK justice secretary plans to bar biological males from women's prisons: 'It's obvious a woman cannot be born with a penis'
U.K. Justice Secretary Dominic Raab plans to prohibit biological males from being housed in women's prisons, following high-profile incidents involving transgender inmates.
According to the U.K. Daily Mail, an inmate with male genitalia, convicted of murder, who identifies as a woman was caught earlier this year having consensual sex with a younger female prisoner. Their sexual escapade was supposedly fueled by alcohol the two had illegally acquired. The incident occurred at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, the largest women's prison in the country.
The incident became public in May, though it is unclear when it actually occurred. The inmate has since been transferred to a transgender housing unit at another facility.
This same biological male inmate also allegedly told one Bronzefield inmate "I'm going to f*** you" and told another "I love p****. Why would I want to be in a man's prison?" Allegations have also swirled that the inmate may have sexually assaulted another inmate, though the Ministry of Justice has no such complaint on file.
Another biological male in a U.K. woman's prison, Karen White, committed sexual assault against two female prisoners four years ago. In all, officials say there have been seven incidents of transgender women attacking female prisoners in England and Wales in recent years.
Raab's office examined these incidents and determined in July that inmates with male genitalia would no longer be housed with biological females. Exceptions to this policy could be made with the authorization of a minister.
"Once confirmed by the new Government in September," a spokesperson for Raab's office said late last week, "[the new policy] would be implemented as soon as possible."
Despite the optimism from the Ministry of Justice, the policy is likely to face serious legal challenges. It will also need to be approved by the new government, which will take office next month.
Still, many believe that, for too long, the rights of transgender inmates have been prioritized over the rights of biological women.
“The safety of female prisoners is being put at risk, and their dignity and privacy undermined, by being incarcerated with biological males, some of whom are known sex offenders,” one report about transgender prisoners in the U.K. reads.
“The Ministry of Justice acknowledges that this is causing high levels of fear and anxiety to women who are often already traumatised by their experiences of sexual assault and domestic abuse, yet the wish of trans-identifying males to be placed in the women’s estate is given priority,” it continues.
Raab himself weighed in on the issue of transgender inmates recently. "It's obvious a woman cannot be born with a penis," Raab insisted back in May.

VIRAL VIDEO: Trans woman takes positive pregnancy test?
Radical lefties rejoice as we finally have proof that trans women can get pregnant.
Or do we?
Pat Gray plays a video that’s since gone viral of a trans woman celebrating his first positive pregnancy test.
“You guys, I took a pregnancy test. I thought something looked a little suspicious,” the man said into the mirror while holding his protruding stomach.
“But yeah, I took a pregnancy test, and I was positive. I’ve been on hormones for around three years, and I knew that this was gonna eventually be able to happen, and I’m super happy,” he continued, before showing the plus sign on the test.
What are we seeing here? History being made? A satirical skit mocking those who believe men can bear children? Or a medical phenomenon caused by who-knows-what unnatural procedures?
In Pat’s opinion, the video is probably a joke. “It might be making a point,” he says.
“But you don't know anymore, man! We are living in the strangest timeline,” says Keith Malinak.
And it’s true — it is nearly impossible these days to tell the difference between mockery and the next culture war.
Watch the video below and decide for yourself.
