WoLF is doing such amazing work!

I read somewhere (WoLF's Twitter?) that donations to WoLF (a non-profit) will be matched during September, so please donate!

Disclaimer: I am not a member nor affiliated with WoLF in any way. I just think those ladies are FABULOUS.

I first learned of WoLF maybe two years ago and have followed their work since. Those ladies are SUPERSTARS. Every woman in the US owes that small fierce band of Amazons our eternal gratitude.

Thanks for donating! Any amount will help.

And again, I'm not a member of WoLF (I'm not a rad fem is why, just a plain old feminist, but I LOVE WoLF and their work)

Thanks for the compliment! However, I'm so not a rad fem that I don't even fit WoLF's criteria for membership (SAD FACE).

Back when I was growing up, a lot of women were feminists, without being Feminists, i.e. reading the tracts, attending consciousness raising meetings, shooting Andy Warhol, etc.

I was one of the former, although I did attend marches and lobby, and on a personal level, I lived life guided by feminist principles, as many women my age did. Now, we're going backwards...#SAD

Good. I'm enjoying seeing posts with evidence that, as we suspect, most people are sane and know this is nonsense. Which is why so much trans activism has been done under the radar.

<Forty-six percent of likely voters in California disagree with allowing men to identify into placement in women’s prisons>

What is WRONG with the other 54%??? Did they understand the question? I think pollsters need to open with "Do you know why we have sex-segregated prisons?"

[–]worried19 10 insightful - 5 fun10 insightful - 4 fun11 insightful - 5 fun -  (1 child)

To be fair, 15% were unsure. The rest are probably picturing post-operative transsexuals.

California has an extremely low voter participation rate and 40% of Californians don't speak English at home. So huge segments of the population don't vote, probably including immigrants from conservative countries.

This poll said "likely" voters, not registered voters and not plain old "Californians" so I'm guessing it's the urban virtue-signalers who are the "likely voters" and therefore this poll is skewed towards people who have been brainwashed into supporting trans activist demands.

If the pollsters had gone out on the street and explained exactly what SB 132 entails, I would be willing to bet a large amount that almost every Californian would go Ah HELL no.

Like worried19 says, most are probably picturing post-operative transsexuals. That is who I used to picture anytime I thought about trans-rights, up until a few months ago, when the whole JK Rowling flare-up happened, and I looked into it more. I thought of someone like Laverne Cox's character in Orange is the New Black. I didn't think of her as a woman, but she didn't seem dangerous to women either. I thought most people who're called "trans" are post-op. I think most people are good, kind souls and want others to be okay, and this has been hijacked by the TRAs.

According to a 2015 survey of 28,000 US transgenders by trans advocacy group The National Center for Transgender Equality, 89% of TIMs keep their male genitalia and 63% are attracted to women.

According to a paper published in the journal PRISON HEALTH in June 2018, and written by a trans sympathizer, US TIMs have a 19-65% lifetime incarceration rate, while the general US population has a 3% lifetime incarceration rate.

So, in reality, the majority of TIMs are heterosexual men with intact male genitalia who, for whatever reason, go to jaile at an exponentially higher rate than most people.

So, NO, "transwomen" are not all harmless. Some are in fact more dangerous than even normal men.

And yet California Democrats think it's Progressive to put these dangerous heterosexual men into an enclosed space with women, the vast majority of whom are in for non-violent crime, who cannot escape.

MAKE NOISE ABOUT THIS. THESE WOMEN HAVE NO ONE TO PROTECT THEM EXCEPT US.

Those are some sobering numbers :( Learning all of this has been shocking and upsetting. Do you happen to know why the incarceration rate has such a wide range of 19-65%? Shouldn't it be something like a single number like it is for the general US population?

[–]BEB 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It's a range because it's gleaned from different studies.

I'll find the PRISON HEALTH article with transgender lifetime incarceration rates and link it.

I made a new post in this thread with a link to the study about the frighteningly high lifetime incarceration rate for US TIMs.

Thank you :) I'll check it out

WoLF is such a good thing, not matter what the leftists and libfems claim. Wish there was more brave groups like it!

There is also FIST (Feminists In Struggle), and also Women's Human Rights Campaign, (WHRC) which is global and just started a US branch.

The US branch of WHRC plans to lobby the Democratic party regarding the Equality Act, the heinous legislation that Biden/Harris and all the Democrat in Congress have committed to despite that the Equality Act destroys women's right/spaces/ safety/privacy/ sports.

I think that FIST too is fighting the Equality Act as written, and WoLF has been on the frontlines for a long time.

I don't know how else the other groups differ from WoLF, but the good news is that we can each probably now find a women's group that fits our personal beliefs.

Here's women from the Women's Human Rights Campaign "marching" on the recent Democratic National Convention to protest the Equality Act.

Due to COVID, the Democratic convention was mostly virtual, so the march was somewhat symbolic - but KUDOS to these brave women for speaking out! NO TO THE EQUALITY ACT.

You mean they had to "Zoom bomb" the DNC? So cringe. Thanks for all the info on these groups!

No, the women of the Women's Human Rights Campaign actually went to wherever the Democrats were going to hold their physical convention before COVID put the convention online (Minnesota?) and protested in person.

That's dedication! Wonderful women - thank you!

Please keep the following so you can use it when the topic of how "safe'" it is to put TIMs in women's prisons comes up.

This information is especially useful for when you call politicians' offices to tell them NO to men in women's prisons. These are American stats.

This is from a journal, PRISON HEALTH, June 2018 and I found it on the US government's website! Reisner is a trans advocate.

Prison Health June 2018 Creating, Reinforcing, and Resisting the Gender Binary: A Qualitative Study of Transgender Women’s Healthcare Experiences in Sex-Segregated Jails and Prisons Reisner

Lifetime estimates of incarceration range from 19% to 65% among transgender women (Reisner et al., 2014, Garofalo et al., 2006, Clements et al., 1999, Grant et al., 2011), compared to less than 3% of the U.S. general population (Glaze and Kaeble, 2014).

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5992494/

US women have an even lower than 3% lifetime incarceration rate - as far as I could gather (but this needs to be checked thoroughly) there are usually only a few hundred thousand women incarcerated in the US at any given time, which should make the female lifetime incarceration rate less than 1%
