California state senator Scott Wiener claims trans males MUST be transferred into women’s prisons

…because ‘trans women are more likely to be victimized by violence.’

PM: On October 15, 2023, California Senator Scott Wiener tweeted in defense of his failing Senate Bill 132, a 2020 California law. SB 132 provides special privileges to males who self-identify as transgender, non-binary and intersex (“TNI”). These “special” prisoners can opt into a unique process to gain entrance into women’s prisons to serve out their sentences. Wiener expressed dismay that male transferees have to wait too long to get into the women’s prison, as though this was some sort of travesty of human rights abuse for these men.

Per a recent CalMatters report, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation found that the number of transgender, intersex and nonbinary inmates consistently grew each year, rising to 1,617 last year. That’s a 234 percent increase over 2017. A skeptic might conclude that this dramatic rise is due to a perceived “easy route” to gain access to women.

In his tweets, Wiener denies the harm that incarcerated women have experienced after being forced to live with male offenders, indicative of the cruelty and victim-shaming inherent in SB 132. In his view, men identifying themselves as women are far more at risk of violence than actual women. Senator Wiener’s tweets that “trans women’s” rights to dignity and safety outweigh those of the female prisoners.  more

  1. “…men identifying themselves as women are far more at risk of violence than actual women.”

    Violence by men against men has always been greater than violence by men against women or women against men.

    Kick the shit out of turkeys.

  2. Why is it that guys with the last name of Weiner always manage to get themselves into trouble. If my last name was Weiner, I would change it. It’s a good thing that his parents didn’t name him Harry, Dick or Peter Weiner. Or Oscar Meyer, then he could be a real weiner.
