California Legislature Passes Bill To Put Trans Men In Women’s Prisons, Even Rapists
Impossible to Track Real Threats
Once transgender inmates are housed and classified by gender identity as opposed to biological sex, crimes they commit in prison are cataloged with the stats of the opposite sex. This will make it impossible to track how many male-to-female transgender inmates abuse their male-bodied privilege and assault, harass, or attack female prisoners. In practical terms, this would both skew the violent crime stats and make it that much harder for women inmates to differentiate their male attackers from the rest of the prison population.
Even so, there have been reports of male to female transgender inmates attacking women in women’s prison. Since living as a transgender person does not require an inmate to undergo body modification surgery (often euphemistically called gender-affirming surgery), men who are prone to commit violent and penetrative sex crimes against women will still have the necessary tools to do it.
Women are rightfully uneasy about being incarcerated with men, especially since so many women suffer violence at men’s hands.
Are we supposed to believe that male offenders are super peaceful and kind and have no interest in harming women, despite the prevalence of violent crimes committed by men against women?
