A California judge has ruled that an accused rapist named Tremaine Carroll must be referred to in court with she/her pronouns because he identifies as a woman. As you can see from the featured image, it doesn’t look like Carroll has put much effort into passing as a female.
Carroll was allowed to be housed in a female prison for simply claiming to be female. Now, two female inmates have accused him of rape. A third was allegedly impregnated by him.
ABC News in Chicago reports:
Pronoun use at center of rape case involving former prisoner in CaliforniaA convicted criminal who served time at the women’s prison in Chowchilla, California is charged with raping fellow inmates.A Madera County judge ruled 52-year-old state prisoner Tremaine Carroll must be referred to with she/her pronouns because Carroll identifies as a woman.But the district attorney believes the defendant is abusing the system.”This is a person who is not a woman in any sense of the word,” says Madera County District Attorney Sally Moreno.In March DA Sally Moreno, charged Carroll for rape allegedly committed while incarcerated at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla.”After his first cellmate became pregnant and was moved to Los Angeles, two other cellmates of his had complained that he had raped them, so we have filed rape charges against this inmate,” said Moreno…”Its just absolutely insane that a victim would have to get on the stand and police their pronoun usage when trying to recite one of the scariest times of their lives,” said Dutemple.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air notes that this is all because of a particular law in California, aimed at preserving the “dignity” of the criminal. Yes, really:
How does a man end up in a women’s prison in California? Thanks to progressives in the state legislature, all it takes is for the man to declare himself a woman. Three years ago, Democrats enacted Senate Bill 132, also known as “The Transgender Respect, Agency and Dignity Act.” As one prosecutor explains, the law requires no medical transition, no psychological evaluation, and no other medical assessment.What happens when this law gets put into effect in prisons? Pretty much what everyone would expect. Tremaine Carroll impregnated one fellow inmate after declaring himself a woman and then allegedly raped two other female inmates in prison. He faces trial now for those sexual assaults, but the Madera County judge ruled that everyone has to use Carroll’s preferred “she/her” pronouns — including his victims.Why? Because, the judge explained, Carroll “deserves dignity.” Uh-huh.
This law and the judge’s ruling are stupid and offensive.
