Two-hundred sixty-one California state prisoners have requested transfers to facilities that house the opposite gender since a new law went into effect on Jan. 1 — and 255 of them have requested to move from a male to a female corrections facility.
The law, SB 132, provides that a prisoner who self-identifies who is “transgender, nonbinary, or intersex” must be “addressed in a manner consistent with the incarcerated individual’s gender identity,” and be “housed at a correctional facility designated for men or women based on the individual’s preference.” The law applies “regardless of anatomy.” Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law last September, declaring on that occasion that “our march toward equality takes an additional step forward.”
The Los Angeles Times reported Monday that while only a few transfers have been approved thus far, none has been rejected:
Just over 1% of California’s prison population — or 1,129 inmates — have identified as nonbinary, intersex or transgender, according to the corrections department, populations that experience excessive violence in prison. A 2007 UC Irvine study that included interviews with 39 transgender inmates found that the rate of sexual assault is 13 times higher for transgender people, with 59% reporting experiencing such encounters.
So far, the prison system has transferred four inmates to the Chowchilla women’s prison, approved 21 gender-based housing requests and denied none. Of the 261 requests, all but six asked to be housed at a women’s facility.
…
Some prisoners are also concerned that inmates are making false claims about their gender identity in order to transfer to women’s prisons and say staffers have told them that this has slowed the process.
The Times adds that several inmates are thought to have applied “under false pretenses” and some female prisoners are afraid.

This was certainly to be expected and it will get worse.
Bookmark under more insanity.
Bet many of the 255 identify as lesbians...they like what lesbians like.

A classic case of the inmates running the asylum... or the legislature and governor.
Pass the popcorn?
Transgenders to a women’s prison?
They’re probably going to get the crap beat out of them there...
Richard Speck became a transexual while in prison. He got breast implants.
Show of hands anyone thinks it’d be “the right thing to do” to let a serial killer who raped and murdered a number of nurses in a dorm all in one night get bunked in a womens’ prison for the rest of his stay?
Just like the lesbians do.
What stops all male prisoners claim to identify as T, so they can get transferred to women’s prison? That would be fun!
Or the MMA fight where the man fractured the orbital socket of his woman opponent .... ????
If you were an imprisoned heterosexual male, why wouldn’t you self-identify as a transgender? It seems like a no-brainer to me.
Stay in the men’s prison: Maybe get attacked in the shower.
Transfer to the women’s prison: Look forward to shower time.
lol
Bud Light ladies night.
The new America that got popular under Obama
Wouldn’t be surprised if the women’s prison pregnancy rate soared.
Well, 261 more lesbians headed to the women’s prison...
