California Has Spent Over $4M In Taxpayer Dollars On Gender Surgeries For Prisoners: Report - sh.itjust.works

California since 2017 has spent more than $4 million of taxpayer money on surgical sex changes and cosmetic “gender-affirming” enhancements for 157 inmates, including 4 on death row

Yes yes, keep complaining about trans people existing. That’s much simpler than thinking about why there are so many fucking prisoners for you, isn’t it?
I’m not transphobic and neither is this article, but it does point out how the state has chosen to spend tax payer money.
Mhm, I’m sure that this is just one small part of your long history of activism to increase prisoner access to health and dental care.
At first I thought this was good because this is actually what I want my tax dollars to go toward. But it seems like that is not what the writer of this article is saying…
Sick, we should expand it to people who aren’t prisoners too though.
But that’s socialism. /s
Why is this a problem?

So maybe that should be the focus of the article instead of demonizing trans people.
I think it’s more critical of how the politicians have decided to spend tax payer money, and how there haven’t been any guardrails put in place to prevent male prisoners from abusing this program and transferring to female prisons to sexually assault them.
Then that should be the content of this article. Don’t worry, we’ll get there.
California has like 40M people. That’s ten cents per person, spread over 6 years. It’s literally nothing. A road costs more to bankroll (I tried looking up a specific figure but they’re all over the place).
That’s also ignoring all the other taxes California collects line from businesses/commerce

Removed, California is not “World News”.

World News is for things that happen OUTSIDE the United States. If we didn’t make the distinction, it would be over-run with US News and Politics.
