I think we may have reached the point where it's a worse crime to misgender a beautiful and brave individual than actually physically hurt someone. At least in California - the rest of the country might have a little more time.

LA County Deputy District Attorney Shea Sanna has been suspended for deadnaming a criminal who sexually assaulted a child in a Denny's bathroom. The criminal is Hannah Tubbs, formerly known as James Tubbs. Tubbs was nearly 18 at the time of the crime. But because of a policy instituted by LA DA George Gascón, Tubbs cannot be tried as an adult.

According to prosecutors, Tubbs walked into the Denny's bathroom, grabbed a 10-year-old girl by the throat, locked her in a stall, and put their hand down the girl's pants. Tubbs wasn't tried until they were 26, but still could not be tried as an adult. So the maximum sentence Tubbs faced was two years in a juvenile facility. With children. Do you see the problem here?

Sanna fought Gascon on this policy, but Gascon held firm - even when he was criticized by the public. Sanna has been under investigation for seven months for alleged “misuse of county resources” and “misgendering” Tubbs. The "misgendering" allegation is due to the fact that, after being arrested, Tubbs began to identify as a woman and ask to be called "Hannah".

Sanna warned Gascon that Tubbs was probably trying to game the system and identify as a woman, since Tubbs was in a women's bathroom at the time of the crime. Sanna told RedState an internal investigation was opened against him last year, alleging that he misused county resources, released confidential information and made inappropriate public statements. Sanna had to undergo a second investigation for "misgendering" Tubbs, which resulted in a five-day suspension without pay.

Now, I know this sounds bad. But I'll remind you that we've been reliably informed by the powers that be that no sexual predators ever take advantage of transgender bathroom or jail policies. So we can just chalk this up to more right-wing propaganda.
