Via FOIA requests, throughout the Biden administration KPSS received US federal Bureau of Prisons data on inmates id'ing as "trans."
On January 25, 2025, we requested the final Transgender Inmate Report of the Biden administration. We received the Report today. More details in 🧵
From May 2024 to January 2025, the number of men identifying as "trans" increased.
The number of women identifying as "trans" decreased, reversing a trend from prior years. 2/
The percentage of men id'ing as "trans" who are in for "sex offenses" remains shockingly high: over 51%.
This is almost *four times* as high as the general BOP population (all men and all women). 3/
No, the wildly disproportionate percentage of "trans"-identifying men in for "sex offenses" is not due to "mere prostitution" or "sex work."
This 🧵 is sharing *federal* prison statistics with the graphic below showing the sorts of crimes at issue. 4/
Further evidence that the wildly disproportionate percentage of "trans" identifying men in for sex offenses is not due to "mere prostitution," below (L) shows the similarly wildly disproportionate "high" security levels for these male inmates compared to gen'l BOP pop (R). 5/
The above data can be found either on BOP's website or by submitting a FOIA request (FOIA request numbers assigned by BOP to KPSS's requests are visible in the above).6/

Via a FOIA request, KPSS has received 2024 data on “Transgender Offenders” incarcerated with the federal Bureau of Prisons. Let’s walk through some of the key data and compare it to the general BOP prison population: 1/5
Trans-identifying males are almost FOUR TIMES as likely to be incarcerated for a sex offense as the gen'l prison pop (all men and women). 2/5
Data shows that trans-identifying males are almost THREE TIMES as likely to have a security level of "high" compared with the general BOP prison population (all men and women).
KPSS is non-partisan.
But ... three of the four candidates on the major party tickets for President and VP have an existing record of how they would address the issue of keeping prisons single sex.
We think you should know their records. 1. Trump, 2. Harris, 3. Walz.

The record of @realDonaldTrump on the issue of keeping prisons single sex:
President Obama's Bureau of Prisons issued a Transgender Manual.
The Trump administration revised it.
They were constrained by existing PREA regs, but here are some changes they made: 2/13
The Trump admin revised the Transgender Offender Manual to make biological sex, not "gender identity," the default deciding factor in housing determinations in federal prison.
It required consideration of other inmates, including histories of trauma and privacy concerns. 3/13
🚨 Despite the disastrous results of the since-modified 2021 policy (multiple pregnancies, reports of assaults, absolutely petrifying men being housed with women), the NJ legislature is considering a law mandating prison housing according to self-declared "gender identity." 1/
The law would explicitly REMOVE Dept of Corrections' ability to take into account factors such as criminal history (rapists welcome) and likelihood of perpetrating abuse (all violent offenders welcome) and security threat levels. DOC could NOT review on a case-by-case basis: 2/
The 2021 policy operated on a "presumption" of housing in accordance with an inmate's "gender identity".

In response to a FOIA request, KPSS has received a current (Aug 19, 2023) Transgender Inmate Report from 🇺🇸 Bureau of Prisons.
Let's break down some of the info on these pages. 1/6
Population numbers of inmates id'ing as "trans" in 🇺🇸 *federal* prison: According to BOP:
An update to the below 🧵 and a HEAD'S UP:
In 2024 there will be a voter referendum to enshrine "sex" and "gender identity" in the New York State Constitution. All single sex spaces, incl'g prisons, in New York could be deemed discriminatory and in violation of Constitution. 1/
The second step in the Constitutional Amendment process occurred January 2023. The NYS legislature passed the Amendment for the second time (in a separate session from the first time), which means it is on its way to a referendum by the voters in 2024. 2/ nyassembly.gov/Press/?sec=sto…
Millions of dollars are being poured into a vote-yes campaign with a focus on the portion of the amendment enshrining access to abortion in the New York State Constitution. 3/ nytimes.com/2023/06/29/nyr…
Yet again a murderously violent man who targeted women is being housed in a women's prison. Why is this particular placement so maddening and what can we do? 1/
First, the story, which many of you know, but some do not: In Nov 2016, widely-platformed "trans" activist Dana Rivers (formerly known as David Warfield) was arrested, covered in blood and gasoline, leaving the East Oakland, California home of Patricia Wright & Charlotte Reed. 2/
(Over a decade earlier, Warfield became a public activist after being terminated from his teaching position after discussing with students that he had been sodomized and his plans to "transition.") 3/ nytimes.com/1999/09/27/us/…
