California Prisons ‘Lead’ the Way into an Imaginary Sexless Future | National Review

Ha! What could go wrong!

Yea... and Loony Left is an understatement!

The reason why only males are required to register for the Selective Service lies in the law that Congress passed.

The reason why only males have been required to register is that until 2013, we had the combat exclusion policy. That said that females were not allowed in combat. This was, of course, either ignored or loopholes found to deploy us females to Iraq and Afghanistan until then while keeping us out of 'combat arms' MOSs.

Now Congress just has to change the law to require women which they should. Either everyone registers or no one does and get rid of it. That's been repeated time and time again on this forum and others and by women. I'm not sure what Selective Service has to do with this article or topic though.

Now your comments on transgender people, not surprisingly, are ignorant. I'll just defer to the transgender servicemembers on this forum to explain that to you especially since it's been covered on other posts in this forum before. As to the article at hand, when searching on this topic I found that the biggest problem with this is the amount of misinformation being spread by prison staff to stir up transphobia. There are reports that actually, the transfers have been received well by inmates. If you read this article, the inmates interviewed said guards told them "watch out" and to be afraid.

"Michelle Calvin said inmates welcomed her with care packages when she transferred in February from Mule Creek to the Chowchilla prison. But there was also tension. Inmates in two rooms refused to have her as a roommate.

“There’s a lot of women here that accept me; there’s some that do not,” said Calvin, 50. “There’s going to be adversity everywhere and I understand that.”

Tyeasha Moore, housed a few doors down from Calvin, quickly warmed up to the newcomer. Calvin was “more than willing” to answer her many questions, including why she chose to come to the prison, and if other inmates would follow.

But Moore, 43, said that she has also heard staffers question inmates housed with Calvin, asking whether she has exposed herself, explained her sexual behavior to them or said things that made them uncomfortable. She said the questioning has fomented anxiety and false rumors that Calvin is in a relationship.

The prison system said that it has provided training to staffers statewide on working with transgender, intersex and nonbinary inmates, including information on safe housing, search procedures and pronoun usage. But advocates say it hasn’t been effective enough.

Mychal Concepcion, a transgender man in the Chowchilla women’s prison, said widespread panic about the transfers stems largely from staffers who ask inmates, “What are you going to do when the men get here?”"

"Tiffany Tooks, a transgender woman in the Chowchilla prison, has also been trying to address concerns. She transferred from Mule Creek in 2019 after having gender-affirming surgery.

“For me, it was everything,” she said, explaining how the inmates received her well after she opened up about her experiences from more than 20 years in prison — which included being raped and hearing inmates make sexually degrading comments when seeing her in the shower. “I feel it’s my duty to help the women that are coming here so they are not misunderstood.”

Tooks said that in early March, she participated in a meeting with the warden, prison staffers and other transgender inmates to address inmates in the men’s prison trying to transfer under false pretenses."

There is concern, yes, there are cisgender men pretending to be transgender to get transferred to women's prisons.

"A transgender woman at a men’s prison, who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation, said that she knows at least five inmates who have applied to transfer under false pretenses and that staffers have asked her to help identify such inmates.

“They wanted me in a confidential setting to tell them who is transgender and who is not, so they can block some of these guys from going to the women’s prison,” she said. “I told him I don’t have a problem with it…. We feel they’re climbing our backs.”"

It seems like a lot of the articles getting posted on this forum are from sources that typically lean toward transphobic material and stirring up fear.

Also you saying people "ignore science" about sex - it's people like you who ignore science on it.
