Write or Call In CampaignALERT: California bill SB132 to allow 'gender self-id' in prisons to be voted on August 24!
Reposting as they've moved the date up for a floor vote. Now the Assembly votes on this on MONDAY AUGUST 124!
SB 132 would
Allow any incarcerated male to claim that he has a feminine “gender identity.” Give any such incarcerated male the legal right to be housed at a women’s facility, unless the incarcerated male’s “perception of [his] own health and safety needs requires a different placement.” Force correctional facility staff to use language pretending that males who claim to have a woman “gender identity” are women. Forbid facility officials from considering anatomy, the presence or absence of a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, and the presence or absence of any other physical or mental health diagnosis. Forbid prison officials from overriding a prisoner’s demand to be housed in a women’s facility unless the prison official meets the extraordinarily high bar of demonstrating in advance “significant security or management concerns.”> This is currently on the floor of the California Assembly, having already passed the Senate.

PLEASE CALL AND WRITE THEM and urge a NO vote especially CA residents.
I honestly believe trans nonsense is another concerted effort to push women back into 'our place' à la the extremely sexist ad campaigns after the Second World War.
Every time women gain some ground, some rights, some dignity, there is always something to push us back.
Yep - every time women have gains there are men who find some way to exploit those gains for themselves, in a way which is detrimental to women.
I haven’t engaged with it because it makes me too angry.. but my work is advertising how we’re meant to be “celebrating ALL women” this women’s day. “All women” including the men who are invading your spaces and bastardising the struggles you face… 😬🥲🙃
We can’t fight every battle - we have to pick them, so we have the energy for what matters the most, or will be mist effective.
