However, earlier this month, the state transferred a biological male who claimed gender identity &#8220;discrimination&#8221; to the jail. <\/p>\n<p>This move comes after Christina, formerly Craig, Lusk sued the Minnesota Department of Corrections last year over &#8220;discrimination and harassment&#8221; at the men&#8217;s facility where he had been remanded. Lusk complained of &#8220;misnaming and misgendering,&#8221; as well as being denied sexual reassignment surgery, insisting the actions were in violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act, the Minnesota Constitution, and the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA).<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota&#8217;s Department of Corrections agreed to move Lusk to the all-female facility, the first time the state has done so. This decision means Minnesota&#8217;s only all-female prison is no more. It also aligns Minnesota with some of the nation&#8217;s most liberal states, such as California and Connecticut, that have similarly eradicated their all-female prisons to allow transgender inmates to be housed there.<\/p>\n<h3>Issues with Transgender Inmates in Female Prisons<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In California, the housing of transgender inmates in all-female prisons has affected biologically female inmates a great deal. Faced with the prospect of unruly male-to-female transgender inmates, prison officials have begun increasing restrictions on movement in female correctional facilities.<\/li>\n<li>California has also ignored claims of sexual assault and rape from biologically female inmates, according to a legal complaint filed on behalf of several female offenders housed under the California Department of Corrections.<\/li>\n<li>Similar problems have plagued other liberal states. Last year in New York, a transgender inmate at Rikers Island penitentiary raped a female prisoner while in the women&#8217;s section of the jail and was sentenced to seven more years behind bars for the offense.<\/li>\n<li>A third of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/minnesotas-lone-all-female-prison-is-no-longer-as-transgender-inmate-a-biological-man-is-relocated\/\" title=\"Minnesota's only all-female prison now houses a transgender inmate who is biologically male.\">biologically male transgender inmates seeking<\/a> to be moved to female prisons are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-sex-offender-is-running-for-student-body-president-at-a-community-college-this-isnt-a-first\/\" title=\"A Sex Offender Is Running For Student Body President At A Community College. This Isn\u2019t A First.\">registered sex offenders<\/a>, according to data from the California Department of Corrections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;A goal of decreasing vulnerability of a subset of men (those with &#8216;sexual minority&#8217; designation) cannot be pursued by increasing the vulnerability of women,&#8221; the complaint reads. &#8220;Decreasing the risk that a subgroup of men will suffer prison rape only by creating a corresponding increased risk that women will suffer prison rape is neither constitutional nor compliant with PREA.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Liberal States&#8217; Policies on Transgender Inmates<\/h3>\n<p>California&#8217;s liberal governor, Gavin Newsom, in 2020 signed the Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act, which requires the state&#8217;s Department of Corrections to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-who-claims-hes-a-woman-charged-with-stabbing-his-father-to-death-inside-the-family-home\/\" title=\"Transgender person charged with fatally stabbing father at home.\">house inmates based<\/a> on their preferred gender identity. Left-wing executives in Connecticut and Washington, D.C., have implemented similar policies, while other states transfer transgender inmates on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n<p>More states will likely join the ranks of California and Connecticut. New York is considering legislation that requires jails and prisons to place anyone who &#8220;self-identifies as transgender, gender nonconforming, nonbinary, or intersex&#8221; in a correctional facility that aligns with his or her self-described gender status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shakopee Correctional Facility, the only women&#8217;s prison in Minnesota for over a century, recently received a biological male inmate who claimed gender identity discrimination.
