Would never happen in Texas

I'm talking about allowing prisoners who self-identify as transgender to be incarcerated in a prison of their choice, either a men's institution or a women's -- anatomy be damned.

Has the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) completely lost its mind??!!  I'd say yes.  In other words, if a male offender says he's a woman, he gets to serve his sentence in a female prison.  And vice-versa.  The CSC officially released this new CD 100 policy in 2022, but guess what?  It's not working as the woke hysterics who envisioned it planned.  Why?  Well heck, anatomy reared its ugly head (sorry for the pun).

In this brilliant move by the Laurentian Elites -- Commissioner Anne Kelly, I'm looking at you and your buddy Trudeau --  CSC decided to place actual males in female prisons.  The result?  Physical and sexual violence and rape.  Well, obviously!  Some public places in Canada also allow men to use women's washrooms for the same reason, but this takes it to new heights.  

Not to be outdone, The Church of England is currently exploring ways to refer to God as a woman.  And if that's not enough, research is underway to transplant uterus' into transgender women -- or it is transgender men?  I can never figure that out.  Anyway, it's uterus' into biological males.  It's all so insane.

"There is no substantial evidence to support a prison placement policy that permits transgender prisoners to choose the prison in which they will serve their time,” argues British Professor of Criminology, Jo Phoenix. “But we do have a mounting number of specific instances where women have been directly harmed as a result of such policies.”

According to Phoenix, the offences of many women who end up in the criminal justice system take place against a backdrop of economic inequality (relative to men), disproportionately high rates of violent victimization and hugely disproportionately higher rates of sexual assault. Thus, CD100 creates a new layer of vulnerability for an already vulnerable group.

“Women prisoners who are re-traumatized by the presence of male-bodied individuals – especially in rehabilitation programs that may well be discussing male violence – cannot simply leave and find another group to attend,” writes Phoenix.

The author concludes that the main driver for the change in Canadian prison placement policy wasn't evidence or even legal necessity.  It was pure politics. The implication of this report is that Canadian law and policy-makers need to consider whether prisons are (or ought to be) seen as places where the bona fide exemption clause in the Canadian Human Rights Act applies.

I get a lot of my information on this file from my husband, B, who was director general of staff training and development at CSC for a number of years.  He oversaw the training of all corrections officers and knows of what he speaks.  He thinks it's ridiculous; he's right.

I am so sick of affirmative action appointments going awry.  Ms. Kelly, I am afraid, is just another example.  This policy might work in a place like California, but I doubt it would hold even there.  Biology has a funny way of getting in the way of "enlightened" philosophy.  A potential cell-mate:
