That's host Brandon Showalter's assessment of the transgender movement's impact on various facets of contemporary culture.In today's bonus episode of "Generation Indoctrination," Showalter shifts gears to confront a shocking arena many know little about — the presence of biological men in women's prisons. This disturbing dynamic has left female inmates terrified, vulnerable, and, according to Showalter's guests, at risk of assault.>>>> WARNING: Adult themes and discussions are present in this episode. This is not appropriate for children. <<<<Join Showalter as he navigates the issues, explores the gritty details, and speaks with former inmates and advocates sounding the alarm on the unthinkable. "When I first learned that they were housing men in women's prions based on their own self-identification about their gender feelings it was naturally disbelief and horror," Amanda Stulman, USA director of Keep Prisons Single Sex, proclaims on the podcast. "And also: a realization that this issue had not been brought to the public for a public discussion and debate."Amie Ichikawa, executive director of Woman II Woman, an organization for incarcerated women, describes the "feeling of utter vulnerability" inside female prisons when biological men make their way into the general population. Amie explains how the ideology has been forced upon incarcerated females in a religious-like manner, all while leaving women in a dire situation.

She ended up taking hormones and having surgery to change every aspect of her body — including the removal of her reproductive system — to match her internal feelings.“There was all the regret too, of just the things that I've done to my body — the fact that I didn't have breasts anymore,” she explained. “And I ended up getting married and my husband didn't know if I'd ever have breasts again. I was able to get breast surgery about three months ago and get implants, but it's not the same.”Smalts, who became a Christian while still living as a transgender man and eventually de-transitioned, now ponders why none of the doctors caring for her mentioned the damaging nature of the medical procedures she was engaging in.“It's so maddening when I look back … where are the doctors that were willing to say, ‘Hey, wait a second, this is really not good for your body?’” Smalts said. Listen to Smalts and others discuss the perils of the transgender movement in the final chapter of "Generation Indoctrination."
