   Two frustrated women’s advocacy groups have launched a billboard truck   
   campaign across California, demanding attention to concerning rise in   
   trans prisoners raping women.   
      
   The campaign, organized by Women Are Real and WomaniiWoman, is demanding   
   scrutiny of male inmates housed in women’s prisons under Senate Bill 132   
   – and drawing attention to the upcoming rape trial of trans prisoner   
   Tremaine Carroll.   
      
   Carroll was in the women’s prison because of SB 132, passed in 2021.   
   Formally known as the Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act, it   
   allows inmates to be housed based solely on their stated gender   
   identity.   
      
   Carroll, 52, has been charged with raping three woman while imprisoned   
   in the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla. Prosecutors   
   say one female cellmate became pregnant.   
      
   The women’s groups are using mobile billboards emblazoned with stark   
   warnings including “Women in CA Prisons Raped by Male Inmates,”   
   “Incarcerated Women Matter,” and “SB 132: State-Sanctioned Rape – Media   
   Silent.”   
      
   Organizers say the blunt messaging is designed to confront what they   
   describe as a dangerous lack of accountability — and any sustained media   
   attention –— surrounding California’s controversial prison housing law.   
      
   The trucks are sweeping past some of the state’s most recognizable   
   landmarks and media hubs.   
      
   In San Francisco, the route includes the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard   
   Street, the San Francisco Chronicle newsroom, KRON4, ABC7, and KQED.   
      
   In Los Angeles, the truck is circling the Los Angeles Times building,   
   City Hall, Union Station, Dodger Stadium, Staples Center (Crypto.com   
   Arena), and Men’s Central Jail.   
      
   In Sacramento, the campaign has targeted the State Capitol and the   
   county jail.   
      
   A second truck is scheduled to travel Friday to Central California   
   Women’s Facility (CCWF) in Chowchilla — where Carroll was previously   
   housed.   
      
   “This campaign is about visibility and accountability,” organizers said.   
      
   “Women in prison are among the most vulnerable people in the state, and   
   their safety has been treated as collateral damage.   
      
   ”We are demanding that the public, policymakers, and the media pay   
   attention.”   
      
   Meanwhile, a Madera County judge has ruled Tremaine Carroll must be   
   referred to using she/her pronouns because Carroll identifies as a   
   woman.

   Madera County District Attorney Sally Moreno has slammed the decision,   
   saying Moreno is abusing California’s prison housing law and said the   
   pronoun ruling risks confusing jurors and complicating the prosecution.   
      
   “This is a particular issue in this case because it’s confusing to the   
   jury. In California, rape is a crime that has to be accomplished by a   
   man,” Moreno told ABC7.   
      
   “There’s no psychological evaluation required. This person does not need   
   to be on cross-gender hormones. They don’t need to be signed up for   
   transgender surgery. They don’t need a psychological evaluation   
   regarding gender confusion. The mere statement is enough.”   
      
   Supervising Deputy District Attorney Eric Dutemple said the ruling is   
   also deeply unfair to the alleged victims.   
      
   “It’s just absolutely insane that a victim would have to get on the   
   stand and police their pronoun usage when trying to recite one of the   
   scariest times of their lives,” Dutemple said.
