Safety Concerns for Female Prison Guards

Female prison guards in California are facing trauma due to a policy that allows trans-identifying male prisoners to be searched by female guards upon request. This policy has led to extreme discomfort among correction officers, with one former officer expressing that being forced to strip male inmates goes against their training. The policy mandates compliance from female guards or they could face penalties or termination. The focus on gender ideology over the safety and well-being of women is highlighted as a detrimental aspect of California's prison policies.
