This happens:

But, days after moving cells following an argument with other prisoners, Rebecca says she fell victim to a ‘fully penetrative’ assault in the showers — at the hands of her new cellmate, a self-identified transgender inmate.

Because of judges like this:

On September 29, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed The Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act to allow incarcerated transgender, non-binary and intersex people to request to be housed in a ‘manner consistent with their gender identity.’

To apply for transfer, inmates must only profess their identity — and obtain the permission of prison authorities.

 It’s not just New York or California.  In New Jersey:

A transgender inmate has been transferred out of the only women’s prison in New Jersey after impregnating two female inmates.

Demi Minor, 27, has been moved to the vulnerable housing unit at the Garden State Youth Correctional Facility, a prison for young adults ages 18 to 30, according to Dan Sperrazza, a New Jersey Department of Corrections spokesman. 

And interestingly enough, the ACLU has had a fairly large legal hand in facilitating the rape of women in prison.

From the Daily Mail article:

In testimony collected by the American Civil Liberties Union, a staunch supporter of California’s trans inmate policy, Carroll claimed not to be a threat to women. 

New Jersey: 

New Jersey has adopted a policy that requires state prisons to house transgender people according to their gender identity rather than their sex assigned at birth.

The policy change is part of a settlement the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey announced Tuesday, and it puts the state among the handful of others with similar policies.

It’s abhorrent.
