The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) pushed New Jersey to allow transgender-identified biological males to be housed in women’s prisons through a 2019 lawsuit. “In prisons in California, Illinois, and Washington, men, including sex offenders, are [having] themselves transferred to women’s prisons,” Stepman said. Alex Ray Scott began identifying as a woman in 2022, two years after being arrested for an alleged 2020 murder in New York City, according to the New York Post.
