A federal judge has blocked the transfer of three transgender-identifying biological men from a women’s prison to an all-male facility, flouting President Donald Trump’s executive order mandating that inmates be housed according to their biological sex.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth granted a temporary restraining order to three transgender-identifying men who were set to be transferred to an all-male facility following Trump’s executive order. Once the inmates were notified of the Bureau of Prison’s intention to transfer them, they filed a lawsuit to stay in the women’s prison. They argued that transfer to a men’s prison will elevate their risk of physical and sexual violence, as well as “exacerbate the symptoms of their gender dysphoria … simply because the mere homogenous presence of men will cause uncomfortable dissonance.”

Judge Lamberth ruled in the inmates’ favor after ascertaining that the federal government failed to show how they would pose a threat to their female counterparts, concluding that the “balance of equities” was on their side.

Yet Lamberth is willfully turning a blind eye to the safety of female prisoners by affirming the delusions of the mentally ill. Last year, a female inmate at a Washington state women’s prison was repeatedly sexually assaulted by her transgender cellmate. The cellmate had been transferred to the women’s prison after “changing” genders while incarcerated.

But this is not a one-off occurrence. At Rikers Island Correctional Facility in New York, a transgender-identifying inmate raped a female in the shower. At a New Jersey women’s prison, a psychopathic transgender-identifying felon impregnated two different female inmates. And an inmate in Illinois’s largest female prison was allegedly raped by a transgender-identifying man and then punished for speaking up about it.

“Judge Lambert’s decision is a reflection of our judicial system’s complete lack of care for the safety, well-being and equal protection of incarcerated women,” Amie Ichikawa, executive director of Woman II Woman, a nonprofit advocacy group for current and formerly incarcerated women, told The Washington Stand. Ichikawa spent five years in prison at the Central California Women’s Facility.

“All incarcerated people are vulnerable. Prison is a dangerous place, but one person’s safety should never come at the cost of another’s,” she said.

As long as judges like Lamberth rule in favor of extreme gender ideology, the safety of women, especially the most vulnerable, will be in jeopardy. The Trump administration understands this, which is why in its executive order defending biological truth, it states, “Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being. The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system. Basing Federal policy on truth is critical to scientific inquiry, public safety, morale, and trust in government itself.”

Meg Kilgannon, senior fellow for Education Studies at Family Research Council, agrees. Kilgannon told TWS that “to have a justice system that can enforce an ideology that puts dangerous, criminal, violent men in six-by-six cells with women is simply inhumane and un-American. It’s offensive to anyone’s common sense.”

Lamberth’s order comes as the Trump administration continues to fight radical gender ideology through several executive actions. In his second week in office, Trump banned the use of federal funds for transgender medical interventions for children. Yesterday, Trump signed an executive order prohibiting biological men from competing in women’s sports.
