California continues adding to the seemingly endless list of reasons people should flee their state.
The progressive moment has been a post-truth movement for decades, and we’ve now reached the point where now even objective concepts like 2+2=4 are considered racist (yes, really), and the categories of “man” and “woman” are interchangeable based on feelings. Many of these progressives also argue that America should spend more on mental healthcare – which is perhaps the only policy they’ve ever made a convincing case for, albeit accidentally.
The latest batch of insanity out of California progressives is to allow prisoners to determine if they go to a male prison or female prison based on whatever they self-identify as, rather than their biological sex. And of course, it’s all under the guise of transgender acceptance.
According to The Blaze:
The consequences of this of immediately obvious to any thinking person. What prevents a man from simply identifying as a woman to attend a women’s prison? Absolutely nothing.
California isn’t the first state to implement this sort of policy, and the results are exactly what you’d expect. According to the data on prison rape in the United Kingdom, transgender prisoners are five times more likely to carry out sex attacks on inmates at women’s jails than other prisoners. A study found similar results out of California’s prison system:
A 2009 study from the University of California, Irvine, found that transgender inmates were more likely to be sex offenders than the general male population.
Such research is hard to come by now; gender ideology has made discussion of male violence taboo.#SexNotGender pic.twitter.com/uVy4oqqjQ9

The reason for that overrepresentation may not be entirely due to transgender individuals themselves being more prone to committing such crimes, but because this sort of policy creates an easy to exploit loophole for those looking to exploit it.
There is no protocol in place whatsoever to prevent someone from merely identifying as the opposite gender for nefarious purposes, and even if someone did question how legitimate someone’s self-identified gender is, the likes of Gavin Newsom would probably brand them a bigot for doing so.
And that aside, what are we to do if a prisoner self-identifies as innocent?
