Female inmates say they fear transgender cellmates and urge Donald Trump to overturn 'unconstitutional policy'

Daily Mail  

Female federal prisoners are pinning their hopes on Donald Trump to get them away from 'sex pests' who identify as women to get into their cellblocks and assault them. Rhonda Fleming, 58, argued that she and other biological women live in constant fear of attack and stress over having to interact with and undress in front of inmates with male genitalia Fleming is hoping that incoming President Donald Trump will change the Bureau of Prisons policy after he moves into the White House on Monday Jeanette Driever, 47, a former prisoner and policy change advocate, said the Trump team contacted her and said they were open to a meeting on current transgender prison policy Her lawyer Jeff Bristol told DailyMail.com: 'The best is to have our opinion rendered moot with the Trump administration repealing the policy and making a new one that protects the rights of women inmates.' Trump shot down an Obama-era guideline that recommended 'housing by gender identity when appropriate,' instead emphasizing 'biological sex as the initial determination for designation,' during his first term in 2018 Jeanette Driever previously filed a similar complaint where she asked for transgender women not to be housed in the same space as biological women, but the judge dismissed the motion in 2022 Tremaine Carroll, 51, one of the first male prisoners to apply to transfer to a women's lockup under California's progressive transgender detainee law, was accused of two rapes of female inmates in 2022 Fleming claimed the Biden administration has been speeding up transfers out of concern Trump will make restrictions once he takes office. Fleming claimed there are between 1,500 and 2,000 trans female inmates in the federal prison system, which houses around 10,000 biological women Fleming claimed that prison officials engage in 'forced indoctrination' by requiring inmates to use female pronouns for transgender inmates In court, she spoke of seeing biological males so clearly during strip searches that she could describe their genitalia. Women's prison reform activist Amie Ichikawa, who attended Fleming's trial, told DailyMail.com she has seen at least 100 individual cases of transgender inmates targeting female prisoners since she started her organization, Woman II Woman.
