Violent Male Offender Beats Up Female Inmate in Women’s Prison

A 6-foot-4 man beat-up a female inmate at the Washington Corrections Center for Women (WCCW) earlier this month.

The brutal assault illustrates the dangerous incoherence of Washington’s Transgender Inmate Policy, which allows some prisoners to live in facilities consistent with their subjective “gender identity” rather than their biological sex.

Christopher Williams, a man who “identifies” as a woman, attacked a female WCCW inmate on August 7. He reportedly punched her in the face, knocked her down and kicked her repeatedly before several inmates dragged him away.

In an interview with America First Policy Institute (AFPI), the victim said the assault occurred in front of a female officer who was reportedly too scared to intervene.

Listen to her full testimony:

Williams transferred to WCCW in late 2021 under the Transgender Inmate Policy, despite a long history of violence and sexual deviancy.

Williams began a 28-year sentence for first degree assault in 2010. He served almost nine years in a male prison before documents obtained by The Daily Caller suggest he began “identifying” as a woman in March 2019.

Later that year, a committee denied Williams’ first request to transfer to a women’s prison, citing his “level of past violence toward women.” He had pled guilty to the “third-degree assault with sexual motivation” of his nine-year-old sister in 2005.  

By the time he entered WCCW, Williams had racked up more than 60 infractions, including for fighting, sexual harassment, assault, possession of sexually explicit material and “providing false information in a sexual misconduct investigation.”

Surprise, surprise: Just three months later, Williams reportedly assaulted his female cellmate.

DID YOU KNOW?
In her complaint, Clark claims Williams’ voyeurism, particularly in the bathroom and shower, was so well known that inmates called him the “shower shark.”

Mozzy Clark alleges Williams menaced and repeatedly assaulted her in January and February 2022. In an ongoing lawsuit against Washington state, WDOC and WCCW, Clark claims she reported the escalating abuse several times.

According to Clark, prison staff did nothing — ostensibly to protect her from Williams’ wrath.  

Her complaint reads, in part,

Defendants told Ms. Clark that if she complained it would be considered a hate crime and actively discouraged her from filing any complaints.

In fact, [one officer] told Ms. Clark that Williams had in the past violently retaliated against individual who complained about him.

In a scathing letter to WCCW and WDOC, AFPI demands they revoke the policy that allowed Williams to infiltrate a women’s prison, writing:

[Washington’s Transgender Inmate Policy] recklessly and needlessly exposes female inmates to significant danger. While you have been alerted to those dangers on many occasions, this recent assault highlights your abject failure to protect the safety of female inmates.

It continues:

By introducing biological males into facilities otherwise occupied exclusively by females, the Department of Corrections undoes … well-established safeguards and grants biological males an inherent and disproportionate advantage — physical, social and psychological — within a captive population unable to avoid them.

The disturbing case of Christian Williams only proves the point.

Feds Order States: Stop using taxes to teach ‘delusional’ gender ideology

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ordered 46 states and territories yesterday to stop teaching “delusional” gender ideology in federally funded Personal Responsibility Education Programs (PREP).

The states — all except Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Texas and Virginia — and Washington D.C. must make their PREP curricula biologically accurate in the next 60 days or lose the grant altogether.

“Accountability is coming,” Acting Assistant HHS Secretary Andrew Gradison wrote in a press release.

“Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas.”

The order is no idle threat. Just last week, HHS terminated all PREP grants to California — totaling some $14.4 million — after the state reportedly refused to scrub gender ideology from its PREP programs.

Congress created the federal PREP grant program in 2010 to reduce teen pregnancies and the spread of sexually transmitted disease and infection. States can use PREP grants to fund:

  • Programs teaching high-risk teens and young parents about abstinence and contraception.
  • Programs teaching “adult preparation” topics like healthy life skills, financial literacy, education and career success, parent-child communication, adolescent development and healthy social skills.

The second kind of program has proven most problematic. According to HHS, California and the 40 states named in its most recent order improperly teach gender ideology in PREP-funded “adult preparation” programs.

HHS first discovered this kind of abuse in California. The state’s PREP materials include:

  • A teacher’s guide affirming “all people have a gender identity, or [a deep-seated internal sense of who they are as a gendered being” and defining identities like “non-binary,” “agender,” “bigender,” “genderfluid” and “genderqueer.”
  • A middle school lesson claiming some people identity as “transgender and gender queer,” rather than male or female.
  • A middle school “teen talk” differentiating “sex assigned at birth” and “gender identity.”
  • A high school guide directing teachers to “remind students that some men are born with female anatomy [and] some women are born with male anatomy.”

On June 20, HHS gave California the same ultimatum it would later issue to most of the country: Remove all reference to gender ideology from PREP curricula and program material within sixty days or forfeit the grant altogether — including the $14.4 million in PREP grants set to pay out through 2025.

The state reportedly refused earlier this month, arguing the materials were “medically accurate” and appropriate to teach in “adult preparation” programs.

In its August 21 termination letter, HHS refuted both claims.

“The [federal] statute [authorizing PREP] does not require, support or authorize teaching students that gender identity is distinct from biological sex or that boys can identify as girls and vice versa,” the letter reads, emphasizing:

[Gender ideology] is both irrelevant to teach abstinence and contraception and is unrelated to any of the [authorized PREP] adult preparation subjects.

Moreover, to prove materials are medically accurate within the scope of PREP, California would have to demonstrate they are:

  • “Verified or supported by the weight of research conducted in compliance with accepted scientific methods.”
  • Either published in peer-reviewed journals or accepted by industry experts as accurate.

Per the 400-page report HHS released earlier this year, gender ideology meets neither standard.

“Gender ideology is not supported by the weight of science,” the letter reads, “and thus cannot inform adult preparation subjects … such as healthy relationships, healthy attitudes and values about adolescent growth and development of health life skills.”

The Daily Citizen praises HHS for further divorcing the government from anti-scientific gender ideology. Taxpayers should not be paying to confuse and indoctrinate vulnerable youth.

New Research Shows ‘Transgender’ Identity Dramatically Driven by Immaturity

It is well established that being “transgender” is a not an objective medical condition. It is not something that can be objectively determined by science; it exists in the very subjective feelings and claims of the individual.

Research continues to document how identifying as “transgender” is a function of age and developmental immaturity. The fact is: The older one becomes, they are markedly less likely to identify as “trans.”

It has been well documented that “trans” youth tend to strongly desist in their gender confusion as they grow into puberty and young adulthood.

A 2024 Dutch study published in the highly respected Archives of Sexual Behavior found that “gender non-contentedness is most common around the age of 11 and that the prevalence decreases with age.”

Conducting research in both clinical and general population samples, this research team found that 11% of early adolescents reported “gender non-contentedness” but this “prevalence decreased with age and was only 4% at the last follow-up (around age 26).” Only 2% reported increasing discomfort with their biological sex as they aged. The study concludes, “Gender non-contentedness, while being relatively common during early adolescence, in general decreases with age and appears to be associated with a poorer self-concept and mental health throughout development.”

A 2021 study examining Taiwanese youth struggling with gender dysphoria showed that only 0.9% were still struggling with gender contentedness by the time they exited their teen years. Some 13% of Taiwanese youth struggled in their teen years, marking a 93% desistence reduction. The research population came from the Taiwan Youth Project and is the first research project tracking gender issues across adolescent development in that nation.

A 2023 British Medical Journal publication found that patients being diagnosed with gender dysphoria are getting younger with those in older age groups increasingly desisting. They chart the rise in gender dysphoric feelings rocketing in early adolescence and then declining sharply in late adolescence and early adulthood.

These scholars conclude that “GD [gender dysphoria] is not a permanent diagnosis” as the “concept of gender is a cultural construct rather than a genetic fact.” It is highly influenced by subjective issues of self-perception, social influence and personal expressiveness.

Additional research by the decidedly pro-gender ideology Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law finds much the same thing.

“Transgender” identity is highest among teen-age individuals and then starts to drop precipitously from there with age and maturity. Table one on page seven of their report demonstrates just how stark the decline by maturing age is.

Only 0.8% of Americans age 18 and older identify as “transgender” while 3.3% of youth age 13 to 17 do. This is true across the large, diverse populations and geographical locales in the United States. The population of “transgender” identified individuals age 13 to 17 is three times higher across the West, Midwest, Northeast and Southern United States than those aged 18 and older.

Being “transgender” is certainly not something someone objectively is. It is most often a psychic phenomenon, increasingly driven by social influence and immaturity. The older and more mature people get physically, mentally and psycho-sexually, the more likely they become comfortable with their biological sex. Maturity and a rejection of “trans” identity largely follow the same trajectory.

This fact is very telling. We are wise to be mindful of it.

Loudoun County Boys Win Reprieve from Unjust Suspension

Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) has temporarily lifted its wrongful suspension of the two boys who asked, “Why is there a girl in the boys locker room?”

Founding Freedoms Law Center, which represents the boys and their families, won the reprieve on Tuesday after formally disputing the district’s conclusion that the boys’ efforts to protect their privacy constitute sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination.

The 10-day suspension will be delayed until LCPS’ adjudicates the appeal, which means the student who remains in Loudoun County can start school with his peers on August 25.

The other victim no longer lives in the state. His family moved to North Dakota to escape LCPS’ judgement.

Josh Hetzler, Senior Legal Counsel at Founding Freedoms, doesn’t expect the break to last.

“At every point along the way, LCPS has made it clear, frankly, that they were going to find these boys guilty,” he spoke plainly at yesterday’s press conference.

“So we don’t expect them to do the right thing — though we hope they do.”

If LCPS refuses to acquit the boys, Hetzler promises Founding Freedoms will take the district to court.

The boys are the latest in a long line of students and teachers victimized by Policy 8040, the district’s policy equating “gender identity,” a person’s subjective feeling of being male or female, with biological sex.

Policy 8040 effectively eliminates single-sex spaces. Students can use whichever bathroom or locker room aligns with their “gender identity.” Critics of the policy can be accused of “sex discrimination.”

In 2021, under Policy 8040, a “gender fluid” boy in a skirt sexually assaulted a fifteen-year-old-girl in the girl’s bathroom. LCPS subsequently tried to hide the attack, threw the victim’s father out of a school board meeting and transferred the perpetrator to another high school, where he offended again.

LCPS’ history with legitimate, atrocious Title IX violations makes its allegations of sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination against the boys seem particularly laughable.

Per Hetzler:

What they’re alleged to have done is to use [protected] speech to complain about a girl in the locker room.

[It] was all confined to speech among boys — never directed at the girl — inside the locker room. [It included] asking questions like, “Why is there a girl in the locker room?” and [making statements like,] “Hey, there’s a girl in the locker room.”

That’s the extent of it.

The boys’ actions aren’t in the ballpark of harassment or discrimination. But Renee Smith, the mother of the victim who lives in North Dakota, says the label itself is damaging, regardless of its veracity.

“Loudoun County Public Schools branded my son with one of the most damaging labels you can put on a young man — sexual harassment,” a proxy read from Smith’s remarks Wednesday.

“And for what? Referring to a biological girl as a girl? That’s not harassment, that’s truth.”

Smith continued:

The damage is already done. That false label will follow [my son], threatening his reputation and his mental and emotional wellbeing.

Happily, LCPS may not get away with its treatment of these boys. On Tuesday, the Department of Education (DoEd) came down on LCPS and four other Virginia school districts for repeatedly and willfully violating Title IX.

The order put LCPS and its compatriots on “reimbursement only” status while DoEd works to terminate the districts’ annual federal funding, totaling some $50 million.

That means the district will get no more federal money up front. Instead, it has to pay its own bills and submit them for reimbursement.

The DoEd is also investigating LCPS’ treatment of the boys.

“I’ve been informed by the Department of Education that they have opened a formal investigation over [this] case,” Hetzler confirmed Wednesday.

The case is ongoing.

LCPS’ has terrorized parents and students for years. The Daily Citizen fervently hopes its reign of terror will soon come to an end.

Poetic Justice: Virginia school district loses federal funding day after bogus suspension.

The Department of Education (DoEd) put five Northern Virginia school districts on “reimbursement payment status” Tuesday pending full termination of their federal funding.

The decisive edict follow the districts’ continued violations of Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded educational programs and institutions.

Alexandria City, Arlington, Fairfax County, Loudoun County and Prince William County Public Schools allow students to use bathrooms, locker rooms and other sex-segregated facilities consistent with their subjective “gender identity,” rather than their biological sex.

Late last month, DoEd’s Office of Civil Rights found these policies violate Title IX. It ordered the districts to segregate bathrooms, locker rooms and sports by biological sex — or risk forfeiting a combined $50 million in annual federal funding.

None of the districts complied. Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), per usual, actually made a show of failing to comply.

Last week, the school board formally voted to refuse DoEd’s order. Yesterday, it suspended two high school boys for expressing discomfort with a girl in their locker room.

Of LCPS’ laundry list of wrongs, its failure to protect single-sex sports and spaces are some of the most egregious.

In 2021, shortly after LCPS passed its policy equating “gender identity” and “sex,” a “gender fluid” boy in a skirt sexually assaulted a fifteen-year-old girl in the girl’s bathroom..

Subsequently, the Daily Citizen writes:

LCPS’ Superintendent and Board dragged the [assaulted] girl’s father out of a board meeting, tried to cover up the incident and transferred the boy to another school — where he assaulted a second girl.

Then, in May, a female student filmed two boys in the boys’ locker room asking, “Why is there a girl in the boy’s locker room?”

Though the female had violated school policy by filming in the locker room, it was the boys, not her, who faced punishment.

On Monday, the district concluded the boys had committed sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination by asking why a girl had violated their privacy. They will serve a ten-day suspension and establish an additional “corrective action” plan with administrators upon their return.

Though both boys were sanctioned, only one will serve his unjust punishment. The other moved away from Virginia entirely, taking refuge in North Dakota, after district investigator Christopher Moy indicated he could choose to drop cases if the subjects left the district.  

But Moy didn’t drop the investigation. Instead, he informed the family if their son ever re-enrolled in Loudoun County, he would first have to serve his suspension.

Now, the high school junior’s school record includes accusations of sex discrimination and sexual harassment — just in time to start applying for colleges.

The Daily Citizen asked Victoria Cobb, President of the Focus on the Family-allied Family Foundation, how LCPS could come to such an unjust conclusion.  

“LCPS is targeting these boys, plain and simple,” she said. “Punishing boys who complain that a biological girl is in their changing area is a top-down effort to normalize unacceptable privacy invasions by the opposite gender.”

Family Foundation’ legal affiliate, Founding Freedoms Law Center, represents the boys and their families. Cobb says they plan to hold LCPS accountable for their radical policies:

To allow this punishment to stand is to allow a school system to force children to bow to a woke ideology that defies reality, science and God’s created order.

Cobb and the Family Foundation are far from the only ones to question the validity of LCPS’ “investigation.” In June, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares released a report finding:

LCPS is utilizing an unlawful, discriminatory and retaliatory Title IX investigation to silence students’ sincerely held religious objections to [LCPS policies equating sex and “gender identity.”]

Miyares referred the report to DoEd for further investigation.

Now, the writing is on the wall for LCPS and its compatriots. DoEd has “commenced administrative proceedings seeking suspension or termination of federal financial assistance to [the districts].”

In the meantime, the districts will get no federal money up front. Instead, while on “reimbursement status,” they will have to foot their own bills and submit them for federal reimbursement.

“States and school districts cannot openly violate federal law while simultaneously receiving federal funding with no additional security,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon explained in a press release.

“The Northern Virginia School Divisions that are choosing to abide by woke gender ideology in place of federal law must now prove they are using every single federal dollar for a legal purpose.”

The Daily Citizen heartily praises DoEd for its unflinching enforcement Title IX. As Craig Trainor, Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at DoEd, said in July:

It’s time for Northern Virginia’s experiment with radical gender ideology and unlawful discrimination to come to an end.
