California Votes to Put Men Into Women's Prisons, Including the Men Who Rape Women

From the Federalist:

While it should be obvious that women’s prisons are for convicted criminals who are female, California Senate Bill 132, sponsored by state Sen. Scott Weiner (D–San Francisco), requires men who say they are women to be housed in women’s prisons. The State Senate passed the bill in May, and it passed the state Assembly with very little opposition on June 25. 

The bill demands that the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ask prisoners their preferred pronouns and gender identity at intake, then house them accordingly. This means that a man need only say at intake that he is a woman to gain access to women’s prison. In passing this bill, California has turned its back on incarcerated women. 

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?
