Advocates for female inmates push back as transgender prisoner transfers ramp up in California

Even transgender inmates are worried male prisoners will fake gender dysphoria to get transferred to women’s facilities.

Just The News– Advocates for incarcerated women are calling on California political and correctional leaders to halt and reverse the transfer of male-to-female transgender and nonbinary prisoners into the state’s women’s prisons.

SB 132, which took effect Jan. 1, lets prisoners choose their gender identity for purposes of placement — and even bodily searches — regardless of sex reassignment surgery or hormone therapy.

Though transfers were a trickle in the first few months, they have “sped up dramatically in recent weeks, and the safety of these women has become more and more compromised,” a spokesperson for the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) told Just the News.

“Under the law as written, there is no method to screen out males who genuinely self-identify as transgender from those who are using the system to prey on women,” the group wrote in an open letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta and the heads of the corrections department and two women’s facilities Monday. more here

  1. Prisons all have isolation cells for punishment and they’re usually all in a dedicated wing or cell block.
    Why not re-purpose those areas to hold the fairies?
    When they realize they can’t get at the women it’ll be too late.
    Watching the reactions when they find out will provide endless laughs for the guards and staff!

    “1. Don’t commit crime.”

    You’re a Trump supporter.

    That’s crime enough.

    I’ll explain it more when I convene my 1/6 commission.
