Rule change prompted by complaints of murderer serving a life sentence
Men's prisons in California may soon provide access to bras, mascara, and lip-gloss for inmates who identify as transgender.
Women's prisons would also be equipped with boxers and aftershave, according to rules introduced by the Department of Corrections. The rules stem from a lawsuit brought against the state by a murderer serving a life sentence, who was the first inmate in the state to receive taxpayer-funded sex change surgery.
"Transgender female inmates housed in men's facilities could have feminine undergarments, lip gloss and mascara, for instance, while transgender male inmates in women's prisons could wear aftershave and boxers," according to the Associated Press.
Women in prison have relatively little access to makeup themselves, and there are accounts of female inmates getting creative by using Jolly Ranchers for hair gel, and M&M's for lip stain.
The new rules were introduced Tuesday and must go through a public hearing and comment period before they take effect.
The rules are in response to lawsuits filed by Shiloh Quine, born Rodney James Quine, who murdered Shahid Ali Baig, a young father of three, during a kidnapping and robbery in 1980. Quine was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
Quine now goes by the name Shiloh Heavenly Quine, and was granted a sex-change operation in 2015, funded by state taxpayers, and moved to an all-women's prison earlier this year after having surgery.
Quine is now protesting that the prison has not provided a razor, prompting the state to decide to add toiletries and other cosmetics to transgender inmates.
"Quine said the resulting beard and mustache were making the transition to life as a woman more difficult, while she also was being denied her television and enough privacy to perform required intimate post-operative procedures," the Associated Press reported.
The news of the transgender prison rule changes occurred as legislation for transgender policies in nursing homes moved through committee in the California state senate.
The "LGBT Senior Long-Term Care Bill of Rights," introduced by Scott Wiener, a state senator from San Francisco, would force nursing home workers to use a residents' preferred pronoun and prohibit "transferring a resident within a facility or to another facility based on anti-LGBT attitudes of other residents."
Wiener said the Senate Human Services Committee passed the legislation by a 3-1 vote in the "face of right-wing attacks."
"Our LGBT seniors paved the way for all of us living today, fighting for our civil rights and against the AIDS epidemic that decimated our community," Wiener said. "Ensuring these seniors can age with dignity and respect is the least we can do to support them, especially as they face discrimination, unique health challenges, and often lack family support. Some of the attacks against this bill would be laughable, if they weren't so frighteningly indicative of how some in our society view the LGBT community. But to be clear—the more these hateful, ignorant, and absurd attacks come, the more resolved I am to fight to ensure our LGBT seniors are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve."
Wiener also cosponsored legislation that would add a third gender option on California drivers' licenses.
Special.
I guess we’re beyond the point where prison time was “every day is a bad-hair day”.
Why only blonde wigs?
I am waiting for the first lawsuit from a “transgendered male” inmate who was repeatedly raped by other inmates. All the fault of the California Prison System.
More liberal “war on normal” to destroy any vestige of the Judeo-Christian Western Civilization.
Actually, his last name is Wiener (i before e), which means “wine merchant”. Weiner (e before i) means the same as Wagner, that being a cartwright (builder of horse carts).
Did this pathetic clown get his own supply of the “beauty” products? Do we refer to this fool as “it”? ...merely askin’ for clarification.
O...M...G!! Must be relatively new pic because of the *gray* hair.
SCOTT WEINER, California state senator
That is what is under the picture, and that is what I went by...did you see the picture??? and your point doesn’t mean a bean to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, my apologies, but it was spelled “Wiener” in the body of the text. It also comes up as “Wiener” in internet searches.
Wasn’t trying to be overbearing.
Ten bucks says he got the snot beaten out of him in high school.
Every...single...day.
He looks like he enjoys other men’s penises in his rectum.
And, a new tax is coming our way. Is there just one year while Brown has been back that Cali income or sales or gas taxes have not been raised? The socialists/commies in Sacramento are insane. They are clueless why so many companies are running away and losing tax base. Unfortunately, they are not clueless to how much tax-payer money they give to illegal aliens.
Then there is the pointless high-speed train to nowhere, not to mention their idiotic global warming expenses.
“The socialists/commies in Sacramento are insane. They are clueless why so many companies are running away and losing tax base.”
But what about the other 55 genders!
Why is any prisoner given mascara and lip gloss????
= = =
To look good for the Guards.
Waiting for the right to fashion uniforms so they can look fabulous!
Definition of insane
1. exhibiting a severely disordered state of mind
2. unable to think in a clear or sensible way
Although I left out the mental illness definitions, you can see that California and other politicians exhibit a disordered state of mind due to their feelings. They also show the inability to think clearly in a sensible way. They are f*cking insane.
They don't use logic; they don't use reason; they don't even use rationality. They only use their wittle feelings and the superiority of their egos to dictate nonsensical policy and law.
Seniors, disabled people and veterans have to get by on as little as $15 per day-
The average inmate has $145 PER DAY spent on them- now they want MORE spent on them?
It’s a mystery to me.
