Tom Cotton Senate bill would separate prison inmates by birth gender, not identity
Fox News
A prisoner's gender at birth, not their gender identity, would determine where they would be housed, under a U.S. Senate bill proposed last week by Republican Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
"My bill will stop the president’s ill-conceived plan and keep men and women separated in federal prison."
"President Biden’s plan to house male and female prisoners together will put women in danger," Cotton said in a statement. "Documented cases prove that placing men — including ones who ‘identify’ as female — in women’s prisons puts female inmates at increased risk of sexual assault. My bill will stop the president’s ill-conceived plan and keep men and women separated in federal prison."
