No, this is real. Look up Ramel Blount, for example. A male prisoner, incarcerated in a women's prison, who was convicted and sentenced to seven years for raping a female prisoner who was housed with him.
He was in a women's facility because New York Department of Corrections policy (Directive 4498R-A) allowed him to self-identify there. Without this harmful policy, he would not have had access to women he could attack. This was policy introduced by mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democratic Party politician.

In many ways. Perhaps the worst is men being incarcerated in women's prisons because of prison housing policy that allows male prisoners to self-identify as women. These men have subsequently raped, sexually assaulted and impregnated female prisoners.
This has been a direct consequence of policy in multiple Democrat-led states which prioritizes self-declared gender identification over biological sex.

No I'm genuinely pleased with this change in direction by some Democrats. Hoping more will do the same.

Fortunately, more Democrats are waking up to the fact that so-called "trans rights" are actively harmful to women and children, and are swiftly walking back their support for such policies. It's just unfortunate that the Republicans had to hold their feet to the fire on this rather than it being a policy position changed with respect for women's rights and reducing iatrogenic harms. It's progress nonetheless.

They realized that diminishing women's rights, just to please a few men who desire to be women, was a significant vote loser, and changed their policy positions accordingly.
This is a good thing. Though it would have been better if they hadn't pushed these policies in the first place. Still, it's progress.
