On this episode of “America’s Evil Top Hat,” Canada admits that gender-confused males in female prisons are raping those women but insists that it does not infringe on their rights.

Our neighbors to the great white north are always a woke mirror for what could happen in the U.S. thanks to the Left’s virtue signaling in obeisance to the gender cult. Correctional Service Canada (CSC) is facing a litany of lawsuits regarding “gender diverse offenders,” a.k.a. male criminals who identify as female. These male inmates pose a clear and present threat to female inmates.

An article in Reduxx lists several instances in which male inmates have sexually assaulted female prisoners, threatened or menaced prisoners in the women and children’s ward, or violently attacked female prisoners for trying to intervene in their assaults.

One female inmate confronted a gender-confused male making lewd comments about tiny children in the ward, calling him a “pedophile.” He then threw her violently to the ground and continued to attack her until the guards broke up the fight. The woman was punished for inciting the fight, and a case she filed regarding the incident was dropped because she dared to call the male inmate what he was: a pedophile.

Heather Mason, an activist on behalf of female inmates, puts their plight best:

These women are in your custody. They cannot leave. They cannot choose who they are locked up with. It is your job to keep them safe and rehabilitate them. Prison is their punishment. Being sexually assaulted by a male inmate is not supposed to be part of their sentence. So if a woman can be sexually assaulted by a male inmate CSC chose to put in a women’s prison and the government still says her rights are not being infringed, then what does count as an infringement?

In June 2024, I highlighted a similar exposé by investigative reporter Abigail Shrier, who was doing a deep dive into allegations that women in California prisons were being forced to bunk with male inmates who identified as “transgender.” Many were subsequently assaulted, sexually assaulted, or otherwise violently harmed by these male inmates.

At the time, I pointed out that this situation for women in prison runs afoul of the Eighth Amendment, which says, “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.” Prison is part of the punishment for breaking the law. Being raped by a violent male criminal who decides that he’s a woman is cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of female prisoners’ constitutional rights.

Do Canadian women have a similar recourse? Section 12 of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms states, “Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.”

It is baffling that the Canadian government can admit women prisoners are being brutalized and yet continue to assert that their rights are not being infringed. “Gender-inclusive” policies are an unmitigated disaster. Some states in the U.S. also have “gender-inclusive” prison policies, which have been such a hubbub that the Department of Justice started looking into it in March 2026.

Ultimately, this practice of putting victimhood over the safety of people who are more vulnerable is insanity. In the case of gender-confused inmates, their gender identity trumps the bodily safety of women, who are physically less able to stop the gender cultist’s depredations.

This is not justice. It is cruel and unusual punishment for a particular portion of society.
