A sexual assault survivor gave an inside look at living in a female prison with male criminals who say they identify as transgender in a new documentary released Tuesday by the Independent Women’s Forum, a conservative group. The six-minute documentary, part of Independent Women’s Forum’s “Cruel & Unusual Punishment: The Male Takeover of Female Prisons” series, focuses on the story of Evelyn Valiente, a sexual assault survivor and former inmate at the Central California Women’s Facility. Valiente, who uses a pseudonym to protect her identity, was forced to share a housing unit with a male inmate who said he identified as a woman while serving time for killing someone in a shooting. “At first I thought it was going to be OK [but] it didn’t take long before this one particular individual was manipulative, calculating, vindictive, and always looking and seeking to do harm to another person,” Valiente said of the “trans” inmate, who had a history of sex crime convictions. In 2020, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, signed legislation requiring the state’s prison system to house inmates based on their gender identity and not their biological sex. Under the law, corrections officers are required to ask inmates privately how they identify and then work to house them accordingly. Before her time in prison, Valiente had been sexually assaulted. She said that being in the same housing unit as an individual who had been convicted of sex crimes, as well as other men, made it “scary” not only for her but for many other women who had “come from very abusive backgrounds.” “It’s a lot of walking in trauma,” Valiente said. WATCH: Andrea Mew, storytelling manager for Independent Women’s Forum and co-producer of the documentary series, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that although California lawmakers claimed that the transgender inmate bill was about keeping inmates safe, the law actually further victimized women in prison who often have been abused previously. “It’s really interesting that California, at the same time that they are focusing on being all about rehabilitation, are subjecting women to being retraumatized by a lot of their personal triggers,” Mew said. “Many women who are in prison are victims of sexual assault, emotional abuse, physical abuse, and having men in their spaces can be a very big trigger for them. At the same time, it’s allowing violent male criminals to have unbridled access to, in many cases, the thing that got them there in the first place.” Currently, five states—Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California, and New Jersey—as well as New York City have passed laws allowing men who say they identify as women to be housed in women’s prisons. However, other states, such as Wisconsin, reportedly moved biologically male offenders who say they identify as transgender into all-female facilities despite their violent criminal histories. In September 2023, a female inmate sued the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility in New Jersey after she said she was assaulted in prison by a male inmate identifying as transgender. Another female inmate from New York City filed a lawsuit in January, claiming that a prison official instructed a male inmate who reportedly sexually assaulted her to say he identified as transgender so he could have “access to female inmates.” Mew said she and co-producer Kelsey Bolar wanted viewers to imagine how they would feel if someone they loved in prison was forced to share a cell or a housing unit with a transgender inmate who had a history of violence. “People need to put themselves in the shoes of people who are in prison and just imagine yourself in there, imagine your own daughter in there,” Mew said. “There are a lot of things that could happen that could get you into prison that are complete accidents, so imagine yourself or your own daughter is in that sort of accident. Put yourself in the shoes of the person there and think about how it would feel if you’re being physically, emotionally, and, in some cases as we’ve seen, sexually threatened by male criminals while you’re just trying to do your time and get home.” The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Jerry Seinfeld said he misses "dominant masculinity" in culture.During a recent interview with independent journalist Bari Weiss, the iconic comedian discussed the early 1960s during which his movie "Unfrosted" is set — and during which he grew up — and Seinfeld said he's noticed that "an agreed upon hierarchy" has "absolutely vaporized" in the present day.'I miss a dominant masculinity. Yeah, I get the 'toxic' — thank you, thank you — but still, I like a real man.'"I think that is why people lean on the horn and drive in the crazy way that they drive because we have no sense of hierarchy," Seinfeld noted, adding that "as humans, we don't really feel comfortable like that, so that is part of what I think is — if you want to talk about nostalgia — that's part of what makes that moment attractive looking back."He added that "as a man — can I say that? — I've always wanted to be a real man; I never made it. But I really thought when I was in that era — again it was JFK, it was Muhammad Ali, it was Sean Connery, Howard Cosell, you can go all the way down there, 'that's a real man. I wanna be like that someday.'"Seinfeld also said, "I miss a dominant masculinity. Yeah, I get the 'toxic' — thank you, thank you — but still, I like a real man."Anything else?Elsewhere during the interview, Seinfeld addressed anti-Israel sentiment that's fueled college campus protests this spring — and how protesters have even targeted him. Earlier this month, some Duke University graduates walked out of Seinfeld's commencement address.“It’s so dumb. It's so dumb," he said. "In fact, when we get protesters occasionally, I love to say to the audience, ‘You know, I love that these young people, they’re trying to get engaged with politics ... we have to just correct their aim a little bit."When Weiss brought up seeing video of protesters calling Seinfeld "Nazi scum" and being shocked when he smiled back and waved, Seinfeld told her, "It's so silly. They want to express this sincere, intense rage, but again, a little off target ... so that’s, to me, comedic."Also, at one point, when Weiss asked Seinfeld about his trip to Israel after the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas attack, the comedian in a rare moment had to fight really hard to hold back tears after he called his visit the "most powerful experience of my life."Like Blaze News?

Missouri police said that a woman drowned one of her children and shot another child before walking into a police station and confessing.The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department said that 36-year-old Ashley Parmeley appeared to be wearing wet clothing when she walked into the Festus Police Department on Tuesday morning. She allegedly said that she had killed her two children. Police found a girl injured in the woman's car in the parking lot and attempted life-saving measures before declaring the 9-year-old dead at the scene. Police believe the child was shot while the car was in St. Francois County near Highway E. 'He said, 'Sheriff, this is a tough one.''Investigators said they found her 2-year-old son apparently drowned at the Timber Creek Resort in the rural part of Festus. They again attempted life-saving measures, but he was declared dead as well. Police were able to find a third child, a relative, alive. Parmely was taken into custody and charged in connection with the death of her son, but the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said they were going to ask her to be charged in the death of her daughter as well. She was booked into the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Officials had not released the names of the victims, but a letter sent from Festus schools confirmed the identify of the 9-year-old girl. “It is with sadness and heavy hearts that the Festus R-VI School District can confirm that Scarlet Parmeley, who was the 9-year-old victim of today’s tragic events, had just successfully completed 3rd grade at Festus Elementary School," the letter read. "Scarlet’s teachers and administrators say she was a bubbly, energetic, and trustworthy student," they continued. "They say she was caring and compassionate, eager to please, with a good sense of humor. She could make friends with anyone and she was very much looking forward to moving to the 4th grade when classes resume in August."KMOV-TV reported that Parmely had blacked out her profile on social media before the alleged murders and also posted an image in support of the Second Amendment. "So many people in our community will be impacted by this. I would ask for additional prayers tonight," said Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak in a media briefing. "I spoke with one of the officers guarding the crime scene out here earlier, and he said, 'Sheriff, this is a tough one.'" Festus is a suburb of St. Louis with a population of about 12,000 residents.
