It is difficult to understand how ANY woman could support this bill. |

The link above compiles a bunch of information and is very eye opening and disturbing. It exposes the realities of this movement and what women are being forced to deal with. |
Mental illness is rampant. We need to start institutionalizing people again. |
A huge swath of people should be institutionalized, they shouldn’t be out in society ever. Why we are simply allowing this and acting like it’s mentally healthy and common is absolutely insane. |
I feel the same way especially after clicking on the link a few posts above going into some of the disgusting crimes that have been committed by transgender men against women and kids. This is not normal and should not be celebrated. For some men this is purely a fetish we are being forced to participate in. |
+1 I just don’t understand this. It is taking a step back in terms of gender equality. How can people not think men will claim they are women to take advantage in situations? (Ex: male prisoners transferring). In fact what heterosexual male wouldn’t transfer to a women’s prison? And there are definitely men that would use the women’s locker room. These are spaces reserved for women for a reason. And now if you need help from a rape crisis center you get to speak to a male counselor? Because that male’s right to present as female trumps your right to a safe space as a woman. It’s nonsense. |
California passed the SB 132 bill which now allows inmates to self ID as women, trans, non-binary, or inter-sex and to then be housed in the prison category of their choice. Moreover, this legislation now rejects the need for inmates to undergo SRS at all. The demand has been high, with 261 requests for transfers since SB 132 took effect Jan. 1, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. I don’t know how anyone can support this “equality” act while simultaneously claiming to care about women’s rights and their safety. |
Agree. California needs separate prisons for trans and non-binary people. |
Yes I think that is a fair compromise. I can’t imagine many trans men would want to be housed with the male inmates. They would be at high risk for sexual assault. |
+1 As a rape survivor, this all makes me very nervous. I do not feel comfortable at all being in a vulnerable place like a locker room or bathroom with an obviously biologically male person. And with the sports, I'm not necessarily worried that people will claim they're trans so they can compete against women. I'm just worried about the safety of participants in the rougher sports like lacrosse and hockey. And again, the locker rooms...I do not in any way think a trans boy would be safe in a team locker room in high school, based on what went on at my high school. |
I suspect a lot of male inmates would prefer the trans prison, so it might not give them any protection. I think the only solution is to go through a psychological and legal process to get a gender certificate. Trans activists don't like this because it's "gatekeeping" to them. But I don't see an alternative that protects both them and others. |
I don't think this is true. |
I mean, the evaluations are to prove there's gender dysphoria, right? Isn't that what being trans is? Suffering from gender dysphoria because your brain and your body don't match? |
.Yes. But the law says you just check a box on a form and you go to the prison according to what you said. |
Prisons are rough places. I suspect that some prisoners would assume trans inmates are weaker and gentler. |
