So after reading this, I checked on another substack: AND, by Sam Faddis and team. He discusses the failed but ongoing progressive experiment of putting biological males into prisons for women [1]. Yes, it has led to a rise of rapes and sexual assaults.
One extract here is worth citing, because sadly we do have a connection:
**
For their part, authorities in California’s women’s prisons responded to the announcement of the change by stocking prison medical facilities with condoms and Plan B emergency contraceptives. They also began to issue guidance to female prisoners on how to get an abortion if they became pregnant in prison.
One inmate in a California prison responded to the new abortion counseling by noting, it was like the prison had “given the okay for them to rape us, cause you have a plan to take care of the aftermath.”
**
You might think that homeless gay black men and that women who have been arrested and incarcerated are among our most vulnerable populations. (To which we could add small children).
You might think as well that a civilized society has some baseline responsibility to protect its most vulnerable populations from sexual predators, and in this and other cases, violently dangerous sexual predators. Including serial- and spree-killers.
But if you are a wealthy, well-connected progressive, you seem to think differently. Such morals -- such ethical and legal limits are mere expressions of benighted discrimination. Such thinking and such practices are prejudicial. Limits on human possibility -- or, at least our possibilities. The homeless, the imprisoned, the grade school children: these are the raw materials upon which our fantasies -- our utopian ideals of a better world -- are transformed into reality.
Some rapes, some deaths, some suicides, some premature but effectively irreversible gender reassignment surgeries: small prices for others to pay for our utopian to come.
