California has adopted transgender reforms into law, including allowing biological males who identify as female to be placed in women's prisons, and a fund using state revenue for gender-transition drugs and surgeries.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law Saturday that requires the Golden state to let inmates who identify as transgender, nonbinary, or intersex be housed on the basis of "gender identity" instead of biological sex.
The phrase "gender identity" has been used in public policy to describe a transgender-identifying person's internal feelings about their sex but is not informed by chromosomes.
The California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation is not prohibited from denying an inmate's request to be placed in an opposite-sex facility solely because of anatomy, sexual orientation or "a factor present" among the other inmates at the facility.
Critics say female inmates are an already vulnerable population and the presence of males in their spaces, regardless of how they identify, is a violation of their privacy and safety.
"Allowing men to identify into being incarcerated with women, and this is unlikely to be used by women to get into men’s prisons, constitutes a depraved indifference to the safety and dignity of women held in custody by the State of California," said Natasha Chart, board chair of the Women's Liberation Front, in an email to The Christian Post Monday.
"This would count as a violation of women’s rights under the Geneva Conventions for prisoners of war, and is likely being used to divert attention from the state’s failure to prevent torture and other interpersonal violence in men’s prisons."
She added: "The state should do better to make men’s prisons safe for all men, not pass laws to allow some at-risk men to stay with the women in lower-security facilities. Critically, a man being targeted for violence by other men doesn’t make that man safe company for women. Consider that sex offenders are especially despised in men’s prisons, and would be highly motivated to take advantage of this law. But they’re the last men who ought to be allowed to do so, and there isn’t even a recognition of this context anywhere in the bill."
Newsom also signed AB 2218, a measure that was tabled and then revived earlier this year. It establishes a Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund that provides grants to organizations that assist in housing needs and therapeutic programs, as well as facilitate medicalized gender treatments such as hormones and surgeries for both minors and adults.
When the bill was first introduced by Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, D-Los Angeles, residents pushed back and urged legislators not to support any bill that would sterilize minors. Santiago dismissed the concerns as "fear-mongering." Later, informed consent documents from the transgender center at LA Children's Hospital that were obtained through FOIA requests showed that the experimental hormone treatments do indeed irreversibly damage the fertility of young people.
While Newsom hailed the bills as steps "toward equality," the California Family Council, a group that actively opposed the transgender funding measure, decried the latest move.
"By rejecting the concerns of doctors and parents and siding with LGBT activists, Governor Newsom yet again ignoring the heartbreak his policies will unleash,” said Jonathan Keller, president of CFC, in a statement emailed to CP Monday.
“AB 2218 opens the door to drugs and surgeries causing irreversible damage, risking life-long sterility for young people. Sadly, the Governor failed in his God-given responsibility to protect the people he was elected to serve.”
Getting more and more evil (i.e., “progressive”)
Kim divorced him for a reason.
What could possibly go wrong?
Do women who identify as men go to the male prison?
Meanwhile, prisoners cannot get necessary surgery to correct common knee and back ailments, preferring to let them just use wheelchairs or stay confined to their cells in pain! If someone needs a tooth filled or a root canal, they will just pull it out instead.
California is insane
Cut off all federal funds, they just waste them on libtard crap
” even so come quickly Lord Jesus..”
If they wanted to CA would let them
But i would bet most are also lesbian so they are happy to be in the womens prison
War on wimminz!! Them evil right-wing Republicans again!
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[a] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Wow, I really can’t keep up with the speed of the immorality.
1. Overcrowding in female prisons.
2. Underutilized male prisons.
3. Rape epidemic in female prisons.
Just a few possible things, I'm sure there's more.
I do not think California became crazy until 2000 or so. Even then, it was not that bad. Probably did not accelerate until 2010 or so when the state became truly kooky.
So what kind of crime do I have to commit to get in there?
/Sarc
Cannot they possibly see that this is a fantastic way for a man to claim he’s a woman and maneuver his way into a women’s prison? Thus PUTTING THEM AT RISK??? OF RAPE???
Same here. When I was a kid one of my dad’s HS buddies moved near San Bernadino, we went there on vacation and my parents were considering moving out there. At the time I was disappointed they didn’t, but years later realized it was a very wise decision on their part.
