This happened in Argentina where a man arrested for violence against women announced he was changing his gender and wound up housed in a women's prison. What happened next probably came as a shock to no one except progressives.

Gabriel Fernández had been accused of violence by multiple former partners before changing his legal sex to female and renaming himself Gabriela Nahir Fernández in 2018. Last week it was revealed how, while serving a sentence related to a domestic abuse conviction, Fernández raped a female inmate in the women’s prison in Córdoba where he is housed, resulting in the victim becoming pregnant.

Following news of the sexual abuse and pregnancy, which initially came to light in July, Fernández, who was being held in the women’s ward of the Bouwer detention center, was relocated to an isolated area.

The judge overseeing this case, for one, sounds surprised at this turn of events and continued to refer to Fernandez as "she" even while admitting he was taking advantage of the actual women around him.

“Paradoxically, we find ourselves facing a scenario contrary to what was anticipated. That is, the accused, who perceives herself as a woman and belonging to the LGBTI group, is the one who turns her colleagues into victims or prey of her needs… taking advantage, of course, of the fact that she is housed in an establishment that would not be prepared for these exceptional cases, at least for the moment,” said the judges, referring to Fernández with feminine pronouns.

Argentina’s Vice President, Victoria Villarruel, seemed more clear headed about the incident.

Esto es claro y simple, el que esté a favor de la ideología de género es un degenerado/a, y el que esté a favor de sexualizar a los niños es un pedófilo en potencia. Nuestro gobierno los va a combatir hasta que no nos quede sangre en el cuerpo. pic.twitter.com/L4gIGlYADo

Translated, it reads:

This is clear and simple, anyone who is in favor of gender ideology is a degenerate, and anyone who is in favor of sexualizing children is a potential pedophile. Our government will fight them until we have no blood left in our bodies.

Meanwhile, Fernandez lawyer is arguing that the rape wasn't gender violence because, well, you can guess why.

Last Tuesday, Fernández’s legal representative, Alfonsina Muñiz told Cadena 3 that the rape and pregnancy was not “a question of gender” and that “the same thing happens in the men’s prison.”

Muñiz also argued that the sexual abuse was not an example of “gender violence,” a term used in Argentina to describe male violence against women, because both parties consider themselves women.

The ignorance of these people is truly invincible. You show them a case where a man who has been arrested and imprisoned for violence against women multiple times winds up in a women's prison and rapes an inmate and impregnates her and they basically respond, "trans women are women."

The story closes by noting this has happened before:

A violent male convict who was transferred to a women’s prison after claiming to be transgender has reportedly impregnated a female inmate at the Alicante Cumplimiento Penitentiary Center in the Fontcalent region of Spain...

While incarcerated, he began using a feminine name, one which is reported to have been adopted from a popular Spanish singer, and declared that he identified as a woman. He did not undergo surgery, and is not known to be on any hormone regimen whatsoever...

While in the women’s wing of the facility, he declared that he felt like a “lesbian” and began an intimate relationship with a female inmate.

Clearly, these prisoners are gaming the system and the authorities are too afraid of being called transphobic to stand up to it. At some point, someone with a functioning brain just needs to tell these obviously male prisoners no.
