There’s a terrible story out today from California where the state’s department of corrections is forcing female prison guards to strip search transgender pretender biological males or be fired.

Here’s the news:

At the Chino men’s prison, this policy has permanently traumatized female guards. Recently retired Paula James broke down crying after she was pressured by her sergeant to frisk a male felon.

For 20 years, James knew that a female guard stripping down a male was forbidden. She was told it was rape. There was an exception for emergencies.

“I’ve been taught that my whole career. All of a sudden… these men are saying they're women, but they still have all the parts"

Despite requesting a female to search him, the man acted embarrassed, covering his chest & male genitals. James had to ask him to move his hand to make sure he wasn’t hiding a weapon or drugs.

“I didn’t realize how disgusted I felt after that until I walked out," she cried.

Just several years ago, female officers could be fired for doing the opposite! An anonymous officer of 19 years received the max disciplinary action after she searched a male inmate who she believed was hiding dangerous contraband.

An official in Chino’s employment office told her that the DOC wanted to fire her. After appealing the decision on the grounds that the policy was vague, she lost the case.

“What’s the difference from when I stripped out that male inmate to now? It’s still a man.”

Younger female officers have told James they’re very worried they'll be forced to frisk a male felon in the bathroom.

“I had younger officers coming to me saying, ‘Ms. James, what am I going to do?’”

This is so asinine. Far-left states should not be allowed to force women to strip search men no matter how they identify. It’s preposterous and criminal. Just as bad, they are then destroying the careers of these women because the won’t do what was considered ‘rape’ just a few years ago.
