[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. Please watch Abigail Shrier in this short YouTube clip posted above. She sums up the problems with the equality act perfectly and in a way that I believe resonates with liberal thinkers. [/quote]

Just a heads up: the pearl-clutching about biological men claiming to identify as women to gain an advantage in sports or to enter women's bathrooms does not convince [b][i]anyone[/i][/b] but credulous Republicans.[/quote]

So you're just going to completely ignore the article posted on the previous page regarding violent men transferring to women's prison under the guise that they feel like women huh? How many women will have to be harmed before people like you get it?

It is difficult to understand how ANY woman could support this bill.  [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

Agree. California needs separate prisons for trans and non-binary people. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
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. [/quote]

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? [/quote].Yes.  But the law says you just check a box on a form and you go to the prison according to what you said. [/quote]
