who could've predicted this?


The law was passed knowing it would make bigots uncomfortable. That's an intended effect, if not a primary one, at least a secondary one.


What a strange comment. I wonder if there was any consideration for the women locked up and powerless in the matter, or was the point really just to "show those bigots"?


If they’re transphobic and don’t want to be around transwomen, they could’ve committed the crime in a state that puts transwomen in with male prisoners (and get raped repeatedly). Of course, those states tend to treat their female inmates much worse than California, so this all seems like special pleading specifically borne out of transphobia.
