Yeah, so it's exactly, it goes up to the DOJ. And so this was a policy from the top down. So it started under Obama in 2012, the Department of Justice under Obama issued this transgender prisoners offender manual. And in that they said, you know, we don't have to base this on sex. We can base this on gender identity.

And that's regardless of what they called quote unquote genital status, if you can believe that. Oh boy. And so, yeah, so that obviously just resulted in men, men who hadn't even undergone hormone treatment necessarily, or even surgeries, being housed in women's prisons. And I should say, Megan, it's not just men, it's men who are criminals.

And according to the Bureau of Prisons' own data, half of these men in women's prisons are sex offenders. So it's, you know, it's really just a recipe for disaster. Yeah. And there have been cases of assault and rape. Yes, there have. There was a case in California just now. So California, this is talking about the state prison system, so they've got their own laws.

And they have essentially a self-ID law, which just allows any prisoner, any male prisoner, to just declare themselves a woman. And then they are entitled, and the entitlement is a big problem here. They're entitled to be housed in a women's prison. And there was a really... terrible case of a man who allegedly raped and impregnated fellow inmates.

There's a lawsuit going forward just now under represented by the Women's Liberation Front. They're a radical feminist organization who are opposing this. And they're hoping that they can they can get, you know, all the way through with this.

And, you know, because ideally this would eventually go to the Supreme Court, because at the moment, Trump's executive order affects the federal prison system. But federal prisons are only there's only 29 of these are federal prisons. The rest are 143 state prisons. And they can really do what they like, as we're seeing in California with these really quite devastating consequences.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know too much about his background, so I don't want to sort of speculate, but I think it'd be safe to say he's maybe got like a more liberal record on some of these issues. And I think the lawyer also said, you know, it wasn't it. I think maybe Rhonda, the plaintiff, got a little nervous and there were some.

you know, discrepancies between her deposition and the evidence she gave in court. So I think it wasn't like the dream day in court they'd been hoping for. But even still, yeah, I mean, the fact that he ruled against her is obviously quite a statement. It should be a very easy case, you would think, especially, you know, most Americans can see this for what it is.
