California's Female Prisoners Feel Threatened by Transgender Inmates. The State Doesn't Care.

Female inmates in California's prisons have been sexually assaulted by male inmates who identify as women. In response, the state has tightened restrictions on biologically female prisoners.
Since 2021, California has allowed 47 male prisoners who identify as transgender or "nonbinary," many of whom do not even attempt to appear female, to transfer to women's prisons. While the state has not disclosed how many of these male transfers have attacked female prisoners, a legal challenge from female inmates reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon reveals the troubling real-world impact of California's progressive policy.
