<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?"

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?

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
