This is how bad it is, ladies and gentlemen:
I guess whatever it takes to get a man out of a women's space.
Portugal's national union for prison staff has threatened to strike after a violent transgender inmate housed in a women's facility injured five correctional officers. The inmate, born Miguel António and now known as 'Raquel Teresa,' has since been transferred back to a men's institution following what officials described as a prolonged campaign of intimidation against female staff and inmates.
Yes, they had to threaten a strike before this bro was removed from the women's prison system!
This was a 48-year-old bro who has been "in and out of the prison system since 1993" -- mostly for violent offenses. In 2022, however, he was locked up for robbery, later "identified" as trans, and was transferred to a women's prison.
The media was a bit out of the loop on António's violence at first, but it wasn't long before they had to report on it.
The details here are horrific, and I advise discretion before reading them.
According to Jornal de Notícias, in September 2025 António attempted to drown a female inmate in a toilet. The following month, he reportedly assaulted another female inmate and two female prison guards.
Despite the clear danger he posed, António was subsequently moved to Tires - another women-only facility. Alarmingly, he was placed in Casa das Mães, a unit designated for mothers and their babies.
While being held in isolation in this unit, António set his mattress on fire, sparking a blaze that resulted in five prison guards being hospitalized.
He was briefly transferred to the Caxias hospital-prison, but the institution refused to keep him and returned him to Tires. At that point, the national union for prison guards (SNCGP) began publicly protesting the ongoing risk he presented to both staff and inmates.
And so finally, the man was sent back to the men's prison.
Who knew men belonged in men's spaces and women belonged in women's?
