In the wake of the overwhelming passage of Proposition 36
by the voters of the formerly great state of California the
micro-minority of Republicans in the CA legislature seem to think that
it is barely possible they will have some power to pass reasonable and
logical legislation. Don't be on it.
For
the last five years CA womans prisons have housed biological male
prisoners who asserted that they identified as female. The law that
made this idiocy possible was the Transgender Respect, Agency and
Dignity Act.
SB 311,
proposed by State Senator Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) would "seclude"
transgender female prisoners from biological female prisoners. There
are currently 35 such prisoners in the CA system.
The
proposal has been called "a deeply unserious, harmful and cynical
distraction from the real work of ending sexual violence in prisons" by
the author of the bill that permits this practice in the first place,
State Senator Scott Weiner (D-S.F.).
