Female Inmate Says Male Inmate “Shoved His D*ck” In Her Face After California Passes Transgender Prison Bill

Since the gender self-identification law known as SB 132 took effect in California, female inmate Dana Gray says sexual harassment and verbal abuse by “men in women’s clothing” is a serious problem.

The gender self-identification laws pushed by leftists and trans activists allow for men to simply identify as women in order to gain access to women's only spaces. Now, in California, that applies to women's prisons as well thanks to SB 132, which was signed into law by Gavin Newsom.

Current and formerly incarcerated women, along with insiders and whistleblowers from the correctional world, are revealing what happens when activists and legislators force women to be housed alongside males—including convicted sex offenders.

In January 2023, a male inmate in California who identifies as a woman allegedly sexually harassed female inmate Dana Gray on two separate occasions. Gray spoke exclusively with the Independent Women’s Forum in a series of phone calls from behind bars, sharing that these incidents occurred after Gavin Newsom passed a gender self-identification law.

"Many women behind bars appear to have reservations about sharing the negative implications of this policy out of fear for their safety, their ability to get released, and their ability to rehabilitate, wrote Andrew Mew for IWF. "For some time, Gray felt this way too, but ultimately decided that the cause was greater than her fears—as a 66-year-old convicted serial killer, Gray is never getting out of prison."

“I’m too old to hold back,” Gray told IWF. “I’m not holding back anymore.”

According to Mew, "Gray has nothing to lose, but everything to gain for the fellow women she’s housed with inside Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF) who—no matter their crime—similarly don’t deserve to be subjected to abuse."

"In January 2023, I was sexually assaulted by a transgender woman who was physically intact," Gray explained. "I did not report it because I was afraid. I've lived with trans before. In 2008, I lived with a real one in my room. Totally non-invasive, polite, he just smelled like a dude. He was like, okay, it's just a man with boobs. Then all these years went by, and then 2021, it came in, so I thought it would be the same thing, and it wasn't."

Gray's story highlights the pain inflicted by politicians who she says “don’t care” about women. Initially, she believed in transgender propaganda and wasn't afraid of sharing a cell with a man who identified as a woman until he gradually became abusive.

Gray says that her male cellmate began constantly complaining about how she was treating him before he began to verbally degrade her. According to Gray, he would frequently that she was going to die in her cell.

"I started to communicate with one officer, and I started to cry. I said, 'I feel so ashamed. I feel ashamed that I tried to help this person. I've never been in an abusive relationship, and this is what I'm doing.'"

It was shortly after that that the male inmate allegedly escalated his abuse.

"At that point, he came into my bed area and pulled his pants down and shoved them into my face, and I looked at him, and I was like, 'What? Why are you doing this?' I said, 'Get out of my bed area. It was just like that bold male thing, like, 'I could do this, and you have to take it' kind of action."

"It's disgusting, and I have to be polite and deal with it for my own safety and so that I have a less stressful day, but I don't like it. I don't want any of them here. I want them to go away. It's a man, and a lot of them don't wear makeup. They are straight men, and they're men in women's clothing, so to say, and you're just like, 'You're not trying to be a woman.'"

She added that sexual grooming and abuse are particularly rampant among these men and the younger women in the prison.

'Young girls, they're all over them because they want to have sex. They think it's great. They don't know any better. They just have no idea. These girls out here are broken. They need training. Many are uneducated. They need schooling. They need recovery groups, and this is a giant distraction, and it makes us look stupid. It degrades women so bad."

"I feel like, 'Oh, just put the men in there that are troubled because those women are stupid.' They don't care. They're just women.' That's how I feel. They're protected. They have more rights than I do, and there are groups out there that are supporting them."

Amie Ichikawa, a women’s rights advocate and former inmate of the Central California Women’s Facility shared similar stories, including that "flavorful condoms" were being provided, and that the ensuing chaos is "cruel and unusual punishment" for women who have typically already suffered abuse.

In another recent and horrifying instance, a man who claimed he was a woman raped two women before he was finally transferred back to a men's facility in California.

The Independent Women's Forum's new documentary mini-series, Cruel & Unusual Punishment: The Male Takeover of Female Prisons, is covering painful stories like Gray's and Ichikawa's while most of the legacy media continue to ignore or silence them for the sake of their political agenda.
