A woman’s rights group is suing the state to overturn a new law that requires prisons to place transgender and gender nonbinary inmates in facilities that correspond to their gender identities, alleging the practice puts incarcerated people in danger.
The Women’s Liberation Front filed a lawsuit last week in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on behalf of several incarcerated women as well as a group, Woman II Woman, that advocates on behalf of incarcerated women.
Two of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, both incarcerated women, allege they were sexually assaulted by inmates who identify as transgender or gender nonbinary.
Amie Ichikawa of the group Woman II Woman said she was shocked when she first read the bill that later became law, adding that she wasn’t alone.
“We’ve gotten so many calls, letters, different messages of women feeling forgotten, completely excluded,” Ichikawa said.
Ichikawa said that she supports transgender women being safe behind bars, but not in a way that she said allows sexual predators to slip in under the umbrella of transgender identity.
“We’re about making sure everybody is being safe here,” Ichikawa said.
According to the department, 291 people housed at male correctional institutions in the state have requested to be transferred to a female correctional institution.

How about a prison wing solely for transgenders?
let the figure out who’s who and what’s (rhymes with what)................
San Francisco City Jail used to have a ‘queen tank.’ Don’t know if they still do.
Brown Chicken brown cowow
What a circus!
Can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
Stop this sh**. It’s just wrong....that’s why...
Give them boob shots and they’ll be too busy to rape.
Now THAT THERE is some seriously Cruel and Unusual Punishment!
What could go wrong ?
Now, THAT’S funny!
I don’t want to get too graphic. But I would suggest, that the only transgender inmates eligible for transfer, be the ones who have gone all the way, and had the surgery so they no longer have male apparatus.
Ha-Maybe they’ll push for a different prison system for EACH ‘gender’.
Let Californians pay for THAT
But they still have male hormones. They shouldn't be allowed.
The answer is potassium nitrate. Why would women care?
If they have male genitalia they should not be allowed in a ladies’ bathroom or a woman’s prison.
Huh.
Makes one wonder who is heavily invested in law firms doesn’t it ?

ALL elected officials nation wide
THAT would drain the swamp
That would certainly be entertaining.
Wait, females are suing because of transgenders were placed in their location? I thought transgenders were female? So what’s the problem? Im so confused? Can’t we just all get along?
Not even prisomers want this. Do why school lockerooms amd bathrooms.
