Sigma-floyd is a terf. She’s not crypto. She is an open “all trans women are male rapists” terf. Her header is “Albanian radfem,” her blog is plastered with standard terf talking points, she unironically refers to women as “gyns,” this is all super obvious and not even a little bit subtle.
when women point out that “sex work” is rape and the enlightened leftists sigh condescendingly and tell us that all work is coerced and nobody likes their job, and you realize they think that at the very least they believe there is a subset of women on these earth (if not all of us) whose duty is to endure sexual violation for the gratification of men. lol.
years ago i saw a woman on radblr respond to this take by saying "imagine the worst customer you met in retail or fast food. now imagine they get to fuck you in the ass. you see how that is worse?" and to this day its the most concise way to get the point across to these smug bastards
it's so insane that so many gay and bi people just accepted the queer label and now people will ask "are you queer?" like that's normal lmao. now straight people say it like it's nothing it's CRAZYYY imagine any other group being bullied into doing this.
we need one hot gay male celebrity de jour to just passively say "I think it's kind of unchic to use that word" in a non-political context and the walls may start to crumble. like just on jimmy kimmel promoting something gen z likes saying "oh, I don't use that word. it's not very chic imo"
asking the “genital preference” crowd what they think happens during conversion therapy is always fun because you get to see them completely short circuit
I’m convinced they all think it’s medieval torture and shock therapy. They don’t want to admit that their rhetoric is lifted directly from modern conversion therapy.
You’re being selfish. you’re being shallow. Why are you so obsessed with genitalia? You’re telling me that all you’re interested in is sex? Have you considered a sexless relationship? You can always try and see how you feel. Just because you didn’t like it once doesn’t mean you will never like it. Let’s talk about why you’re so fixated on genitalia. What if you found you soulmate, but it turns out they’re the opposite sex, you would really just lose interest? Look how you’re hurting all these people - you’re saying you find them repulsive? How do you think that feels?
I’ve heard it all. I’ve been through it all. Modern TRA rhetoric is literally conversion therapy and it’s often actually more overtly hateful and full of vitriol than the standard
I was put through conversion therapy as a teenager. There were no electric shocks involved, no chemicals, no beatings. What did happen was a very friendly, charismatic and manipulative woman sat me down twice a week, asked me simple questions about how I experienced attraction and then shamed me and nitpicked every single answer I gave.
It's a subtle psychological torture, no matter how resilient you are it will slowly get under your skin and stay there. Conversion therapy isn't what was portrayed on AHS you idiot children, it's literally the same things I see on twitter every day.
idk which self identified queer needs to hear this but you're not radical for supporting kinks at pride and defending kinks in general. the porn industry wants you to support kinks. nightlife clubs and bars want you to support kinks. liberal newspapers, media and politicians want you to support kinks. sex toy and lingerie brands want you to support kinks. misogynists and pedophiles want you to support kinks. "oooh but what about the ppl (men) who get off thinking about raping women / punching women / strangling women / fucking children / fucking my sister / fucking my dog" is this really the kind of radical thinking you will bring to the revolution? get a grip and go volunteer at a shelter. oh my god

A federal lawsuit filed on behalf of 38 current and former inmates in Los Angeles County's women's jail claims male staff watched them showe
By Connor Sheets Sat, December 27, 2025
A federal lawsuit filed on behalf of dozens of current and former inmates in Los Angeles County’s women’s jail claims male correctional officers watched them shower, harassed and groped them and retaliated when the alleged abuses were reported.
The suit accuses deputies of taking advantage of women incarcerated at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood.
The case comes amid renewed scrutiny of how the Sheriff's Department's handles abuse claims. Records reviewed by The Times show jail inmates have made nearly 600 allegations of sexual abuse or harassment against staff since 2021, but none have been referred to the L.A. County district attorney's office for prosecution.
Brian Dunn, managing partner and lead civil rights attorney with the Cochran Firm, which brought the case on behalf of 38 women in late October, said in an interview that dozens of inmates shared "chilling" allegations of “brazen” sexual abuse and harassment.
“It seemed to be happening with such frequency that it was like a practice. ... This is something that has been accepted,” he said. “It’s heartbreaking for me to hear these women crying and the only thing you can do is sue.”
The Sheriff’s Department said in a statement that, after learning about Dunn’s lawsuit, it “initiated a review of the claims to ensure that all appropriate investigative and administrative processes were followed.”
“The safety, dignity, and constitutional rights of every individual in our custody remain our top priority,” the department added. “We are committed to transparent operations, thorough investigations, and maintaining the highest standards of professional conduct.”
The civil complaint filed in the Central District of California says abuses occurred in the Lynwood jail's administrative segregation unit, also known as “the hole.” The lawsuit claims women were often sent there for disciplinary purposes — and that deputies would watch as they showered nude. The suit says the practice violates a federal law called the Prison Rape Elimination Act, which prohibits “cross-gender viewing" by staff.
The complaint alleges a “systemic and ongoing practice which concerns the cross-gender viewing of completely nude female inmates by male correctional officers.”
It describes an area next to the shower stalls referred to by inmates and deputies as the “cop shop,” from which male correctional officers “routinely engage in frequent and prolonged unobstructed viewing of the entire nude bodies of female inmates taking showers.”
While escorting women to the stalls, the complaint states, male guards allegedly “intentionally press their crotches against the handcuffed hands of the female inmates ... and intentionally fondle the inmates’ hips, buttocks, and bodies in a sexual manner.”
Deputies "routinely and intentionally set the water temperature at a scalding or near-scalding level,” the complaint added, “which forces the female inmates taking showers to move hurriedly and squirm erratically” and “often results in the female inmates’ breasts jiggling and wiggling demonstrably in full view of the male correctional officers in the adjacent ‘cop shop.’”
The Sheriff's Department said in a statement that "[t]here is an ongoing inquiry into the claims" and that it "maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of sexual abuse or harassment within its facilities.”
The statement added that it “takes all allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse of authority, and violations of Department policy extremely seriously."
The Sybil Brand Commission, the independent oversight body for L.A. County's jails, has documented similar complaints from female inmates in recent months.
The commission, which performs inspections on unannounced visits to the jails, said in an October report that multiple inmates "allege a deputy observes women showering from the lower level, escorts women while leaving them exposed in shower, and makes them wait unclothed before returning to their cells. Fear of retaliation deters reporting."
Commission Chair Haley Broder described the inmates as "some of the most vulnerable women on earth. They can’t do anything; they’re locked in cells and being retaliated against if they report it.”
Defendants in the federal lawsuit include L.A. County, Sheriff Robert Luna and three of his predecessors, and a dozen jail staffers.
The Sheriff’s Department said in a statement that two deputies named in the lawsuit "are actively working," with one now at Men's Central Jail and another still in Lynwood.
One of the two men previously worked as the Prison Rape Elimination Act compliance manager at the women's jail, according to the complaint.
Last month, The Times reported that out of 592 inmate claims of sexual abuse or harassment by deputies filed since 2021, none were deemed "substantiated" by Sheriff's Department investigators.
Over that period, according to a review of D.A.'s office records by The Times, the Sheriff's Department referred none of those cases to L.A. County prosecutors, who decide whether there is enough evidence to file charges.
“The DA’s office has brought no cases against sheriff’s deputies for sexual assault crimes committed against inmates” since 2021, the office confirmed in an email. It added that it is “not aware of any such cases recently presented by LASD for filing consideration involving deputies accused of sexually assaulting inmates.”
The Sheriff's Department said in a statement that since 2021 it has sent nine cases for review by either its Internal Affairs or Internal Criminal Investigation bureaus, all of which “are still being actively investigated.” It added that “[o]nce a criminal investigation is completed, investigators will present the case to the District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration.”
The department has acted against at least one deputy in response to an inmate’s claims of sexual misconduct in recent years. In November 2023, deputy Jonathan Tejada Paredes was arrested on suspicion that he sexually assaulted an inmate while he was working in the women’s jail in Lynwood.
But court records show that no county or federal charges have been filed against Tejada Paredes. The D.A.’s office said it “has not received this matter for charging consideration.”
Jacqueline Sparagna, an attorney for Tejada Paredes, denied any wrongdoing by her client and confirmed that he has not been charged. She added that while the government goes out of its way to thoroughly investigate allegations against law enforcement officers, “there are likely problems with the" Paredes case, such as a lack of corroborating evidence or credibility questions.
Asked about the status of the claim against Tejada Paredes, the Sheriff’s Department said an “investigation is currently ongoing.”
In the past, the Sheriff’s Department has referred a number of cases of deputies accused by inmates of sexual assault for prosecution. For instance, Giancarlo Scotti, who worked at the Lynwood women’s jail, was charged by the D.A.'s office in 2018 with assaulting six inmates there after being arrested and placed on administrative leave by the Sheriff’s Department the prior year while the department investigated the allegations.
In 2019, court records show Scotti pleaded no contest to six counts of sexual activity with an inmate, ward or parolee. A judge sentenced him to two years in state custody, with a recommendation that his term be served in a state fire camp.
A review of county records shows that the Sheriff's Department has referred a number of deputies for prosecution on sexual abuse charges since 2021 — just not in cases with inmates as alleged victims.
Last year, according to a D.A.'s office memo, the office declined to bring criminal charges against a correctional officer after a Sheriff's Department investigation found he had allegedly committed sexual battery against a female colleague at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in 2022. The D.A.'s memo cited questions about whether the deputy's conduct constituted sexual battery, the alleged victim's response and whether there was enough evidence to corroborate her claims.
The lack of transparency around how jail sexual abuse claims are investigated has raised alarms among local watchdogs.
“The public is not getting the truth from the Sheriff’s Department. We deserve real, accurate data about people being raped or assaulted in our jails, not hogwash,” said Hans Johnson, chair of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Civilian Oversight Commission.
Max Huntsman, who retired as L.A. County inspector general earlier this month, told The Times in November that he believes the Sheriff’s Department is “not in compliance with PREA in many senses,” including its internal policies and the physical state of its aging jails.
An April report by Huntsman's office “found that many allegations remain unresolved in quarterly reports, raising concerns about the thoroughness of investigations” under the federal law.
Some investigations, the inspector general’s office wrote, did not include “a thorough description of physical and testimonial evidence,” and investigators “did not appear to interview all potential involved persons” in some cases.
The cross-gender viewing allegations at the Lynwood women's jail are "one of many times when the county could have avoided litigation by simply correcting conditions," Huntsman said.
As of Oct. 27, 30 of the 38 women who signed on to the lawsuit alleging rampant cross-gender viewing at the Lynwood jail remained incarcerated there.
"Behind every one of those paragraphs in that complaint is a human story," said Dunn, the lawyer representing the female inmates.
So, people may or may not have noticed that I was offline last weekend, and that is because I was at my very first WOMYN’S FESTIVAL up in Michigan! It was a camping trip in the woods, Friday - Monday, and I just have to say it was perhaps THE best experience in my life. I had to drive 14 hours to get there, and if I was told that there was going to be another one tomorrow, I’d turn right around and drive back. I have never in my life felt so welcomed or at home, I cannot stress enough how fantastic it was.
I’ve seen a lot of women say that womyn’s festivals are a healing experience, and I really get what they mean by that. It really demonstrates the need for female-only spaces, too: in a place that we know for sure there are ZERO men, everyone you see is a woman (most of them lesbians), I felt I was able to truly be myself for perhaps the first time in my life. And I wasn’t the only one who expressed that! Several of the women I hung out with talked about how they had never felt so comfortable, so little social anxiety. Women I know to be very quiet were talking freely and adding to the discussions, laughing, dancing, etc. I have never heard so much female laughter as I did that weekend, and it was a beautiful sound.
There was also just SUCH a sense of community. If you’re walking around, other women are greeting you and calling you “sister.” Women shared everything: food, ice, chairs, a helping hand. When I sat down to eat, or stood around waiting for food, or waited for the next workshop, women would talk to me. And I’m someone who usually HATES being talked to usually, but there was nothing unpleasant or anxiety-inducing about it there. In every conversation, I felt like my input was wanted. This was especially nice considering I had at first been kind of nervous about being an “outsider.” Womyn’s festivals tend to skew older, and although my group was far from the only young women there, we were in the minority. When in a conversation about feminism with a woman who has been involved in serious feminist activism for longer than I’ve been alive, and all I do is run a blog on tumblr, I felt a bit intimidated! But not once was I made to feel stupid. I’d be sitting in a circle talking with other women, and they would specifically ask for my opinion, and give me their full consideration when I gave it. I had so many excellent conversations with so many women of different perspectives, I feel like I learned so much.
Also, this is minor but it still stood out to me, the campground was SPOTLESS. The porta potties were as clean as a porta potty can be, there was zero litter, etc. There was respect for the grounds crew and the land itself.
Anyways, I love womyn’s festivals! Everyone should go to a womyn’s festival!!!! I could type for ages and still not get across one fraction of what a fantastic experience it was. And they WANT US THERE. Festivals are an aspect of feminist and lesbian culture that men want to die out, because they KNOW once women experience a space without them, we will realize how much they hold us back. Don’t let them convince you they’re just a bunch of old women, or that hanging out with old women is a bad thing! Every older women I talked to had so many good things to say, and was so excited to see younger women at the fest. Online spaces are great and all, but now that I’ve experienced the real-life equivalent, it really can’t compare. Partially because there aren’t as many older women in places like radblr! I cannot emphasize enough how important it was for me to meet so many older lesbians and feminists. And one nice thing was realizing that they KNOW what is happening to young lesbians. They aren’t out-of-the-loop, they aren’t ignorant, they know how we are being hurt and they want to help.
