In a bizarre and troubling turn, California District Attorney Eric DuTemple is now compelled to address an alleged rapist by their chosen pronouns—despite the individual being a biological male.
This decision comes after a judge ruled that DuTemple must refer to 51-year-old Tremaine Carroll, who identifies as a woman, by the “she/her” pronouns, even though Carroll faces two felony counts of forcible rape and one count of dissuading a witness from inside a women’s prison.
The case took a strange twist during a July hearing when Carroll’s defense team pushed for DuTemple to use his “preferred pronouns,” and despite DuTemple’s objections, the judge allowed Carroll’s request. The ruling now forces DuTemple to adhere to the pronouns or face potential legal repercussions. This decision is rooted in California’s SB 132, a law that mandates the use of individuals’ self-identified gender pronouns within the prison system. Under this law, staff, contractors, and volunteers in the Department of Corrections are required to use the specified pronouns in all communication, further institutionalizing the woke agenda.
This case exemplifies the bizarre and dangerous lengths to which the state is going in embracing gender theory. While an alleged rapist is granted the privilege of being addressed as “she/her,” real-world issues like justice and accountability seem to be sidelined in favor of progressive ideological mandates.
