My client was locked in a cage, victimized by a biological male at a women's prison. What about her rights?

In our recently filed lawsuit, alleging the violation of Mozzy’s civil rights by the State of Washington and prison employees, we detail how she was incarcerated with a biological male.

Being alone behind bars, without my family or any support system, was punishment enough. But the trauma of being forced into a cell and sexually assaulted by a man with a long history of child molestation and extreme violence is a pain I wouldn't wish on anyone.  David Pivtorak is a personal injury and civil rights attorney who has represented individuals in many high-profile cases against state and institutional actors. Follow him on X: @piv4law.

Merely reciting the magic words, "I identify as a woman," is enough to give these men access to hundreds of confined and vulnerable women who have no choice or say in the matter. And the most inexplicable part is that all the supposed gatekeepers in our society—legislators, judges, corrections officers, and civil rights organizations, like the ACLU—not only go along with it but are actively complicit in crafting and forcing these policies on the general public and the women who are most impacted by it.
