TRANS LAWSUIT RE: CALIFORNIA PRISONS


by Bob Walsh

Back in 2020 the very woke California legislature passed SB132.  This piece of legislation allows for placing of men who feel they are actually women, or at least who SAY they feel they are actually women, into womens prisons.  A number of individual women and the organization Woman II Woman has just filed suit in federal court asking for declaratory and injunctive relief against this practice.

The suit asserts that "SB132 cannot be applied in any manner that avoids violating the federal and state constitutional rights of plantiffs, who are women incarcerated in one of California's correctional facilities..."

The law requires that CDCr interview each incoming prisoner, ask if they are male, female, non-binary, intersexual, or transgender and house them based on that stated preference.  This housing request can be denied for good cause.  The fact that the person making the request is physically male is NOT considered good cause.

The suit was filed last week.  

It is my understanding that most, but not all, of these housing requests have been granted and that there have been problems, including sexual assaults on female prisons by "male" prisoners, though I can not cite chapter and verse on this.

You can make up names and all the acronyms you want but in the end there are only two genders.
