More California prisoners are requesting gender-affirming health care, including surgeries
Cal Matters ^ | JUNE 26, 2023 | ANABEL SOSA

The number of California prisoners requesting gender-affirming health care more than doubled last year, and the state’s corrections agency expects the trend to continue even as the overall state inmate population is projected to decline.

The estimate comes from budget documents detailing the agency’s responsibilities for two groundbreaking policies the state adopted over the last seven years.

One, in 2017, made California the first state to set standards that would grant gender affirmation surgery to state prison inmates. It followed the state’s approval of surgery for a transgender woman serving a life sentence. She was later transferred to a women’s prison.

The other, a 2021 law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, requires that every person upon entering prison be asked gender-specific questions to determine whether they should be housed in a men’s or women’s facility.


This is insanity.

“This is insanity.”

No, it’s per the plan.

It is Romans 1:19-32.

Yes, some may be being put in this condition so they may recoil in horror and repent ... but for others it may be the door of heaven closing in their still physically living faces.

” It followed the state’s approval of surgery for a transgender woman serving a life sentence”

Not a woman he’s a dude.

“Quine was arrested and charged with robbery, kidnapping and murder in 1980, after she and an accomplice killed 33-year-old Shahid Ali Baig, a father of three, in downtown Los Angeles, the AP reported.

Baig’s daughter, who fought Quine’s request in court, said knowing that taxpayers funded surgery for her father’s killer was “a slap in the face.”

“My dad begged for his life,” Farida Baig told the AP. “It just made me dizzy and sick. I’m helping pay for his surgery; I live in California.”

Bring back the death penalty and we won’t have to worry about this nonsense

I’d like spinal fusion surgery so I can swing a golf club properly again. Where do I sign up? Do I have to get arrested/incarcerated? Why do criminals have more rights and privileges than law abiding citizens?

Once the this woman got her approval you can bet that the lobbyist for the gender surgery industry descended on the state house to spill money to push legislation to provide “Gender Affirming Care” to needy state prisoners.

A new line of profits was identified and all efforts to fleece the taxpayers of their money would be expanded.

This was a forgone conclusion in 2017

“You’re a homosexual male pedophile! AFFIRMED! Now 60 days in the cooler for requesting the affirmation!”

I live in california. I believe that there is enough male prisoners requesting gender affirming care to just segregate them all in the same prison with no other prisoners but the ones claiming to be trans. then watch the fun as the prisoners realize that they are not going to be given access to female prisoners and that the worst sexual offender is likely to be in the same cell as them.

Is it mainly dudes masquerading as chicks? It’s hard to imagine chicks wanting to go to men’s prisons.

Hard No. Not on taxpayer's dime, ever.

If it is so important, they should have gotten the care on their own dime before they went to jail. I don’t know why we cater to mentally ill people like this.

Cut it off if they want to be women. No more testosterone to beat up others. No more rapes. Look at the bright side my friends. Let me make the first incision.

The population of transgender inmates in California prisoners surged by 234% in the years since the state adopted a first-in-the nation policy allowing gender-affirming health care

Hope anyone campaigning against Newsom brings up this nugget

EXACTLY; cut off their PECKERS and BALLS, wipe the cut line down with IODINE and toss them into the women’s prisons!

They should have to watch the surgical proceedures to change a penis and scrotum to a vagina. Most men couldn’t get past the first nip!
