Welcome to Breakpoint, daily look at an ever-changing culture through the lens of Unchanging Truth,

for the Colson Center on John Stone Street.

Recently, Brandon Schowalter, the Christian Post, described in detail,

one of the consequences of our culture's ideas about gender and identity.

Quote, under the banner of gender identity, men who are hardened criminals but self-identify

as female are now allowed to request a transfer to women's prisons.

This is happening in states across the U.S., in Canada and the UK.

In quote,

what Schowalter reported an immediate response by many who hear this sort of news

is shock and surprise. After all, we were told,

this kind of potential harmed women would never happen.

Concerns about men taking advantage of the system were overblown.

According to Amy Ichikawa, however, a former inmate at Central California Women's Facility,

who now runs a non-profit for incarcerated women, the experience of men being granted residence

in a women's facility was, and I quote,

the most helpless feeling I've had to date.

End quote. She continues,

I call home every day, crying for weeks, trying to explain to my family that there was a serial

rapist housed here, and that this is legal, that the state did it.

My family thought I was delusional, and that just added to the helplessness

the feeling of utter vulnerability. What Ichikawa's experience was no delusion,

nor was it an isolated incident.
