Transgendered Prisoners & A Jobs Plan That is a Payoff to Labor Unions

Published: April 20, 2021, 11 p.m.

Two-hundred sixty-one California state prisoners have requested transfers to facilities that house the opposite gender since a new law went into effect on Jan. 1 \u2014 and 255 of them have requested to move from a male to a female corrections facility. The law,\xa0SB 132, provides that a prisoner who self-identifies\xa0who is "transgender, nonbinary, or intersex" must be "addressed in a manner consistent with the incarcerated individual's gender identity," and be "housed at a correctional facility designated for men or women based on the individual's preference." The law applies "regardless of anatomy." Governor Gavin Newsom\xa0signed\xa0the law last September,\xa0declaring\xa0on that occasion that "our march toward equality takes an additional step forward."\xa0 Karen Straughan is scheduled to join me to discuss the ramifications of this moving forward.\xa0 Mark Mix, President of the\xa0National Right to Work Committee, is scheduled to join me to discuss Joe Biden\u2019s so-called \u201cJobs Plan\u201d which looks like little more than an attempt to pay off political allies, in this case, labor unions.
