The administration has already been blocked from implementing its ban on gender-affirming care in prisons. Last year, three transgender people currently incarcerated in federal custody filed a class action suit against the administration and the Federal Bureau of Prisons challenging those policies. In June 2025, a federal judge granted a temporary injunction requiring the BOP to continue providing gender-affirming care to trans inmates as the case proceeds.
Just in case cis folk are unaware, HRT isn’t something you can just “wean” someone off of. It depends upon the person’s circumstances of course but for many of us, especially those of us who have been trans for a long time, it can have severe health effects such as osteoporosis. You know, in addition to the fact that it’s literally meant to be torture.
Thanks for the write-up. Forcefully stopping someone’s medical treatment (especially with effects as strong as HRT) already sounded terrible in theory but these side effects and the deliberate intention of torture are scary and horrible as fuck. And yet, the administration and its supporters claim to be “moral”… bunch of ghouls.
Guess those poor inmates will find out. And it already was one of the worst countries to me, with every new news it gets worse.
Leave while you can, I’d say. It won’t get better, the US is in deep-dive-mode to Idiocracy…
I have an eu passport, I can get my kids one too. One of them is a trans man. They won’t go :( I can’t leave without them.
Well fuck, that sucks some big sweaty monkey-balls. Especially if you so easily COULD. But why the fuck would any trans (or anything that is not straight and white and born in that stupid country) not want to leave?! Don’t they SEE what is happening?
Wanting and being able to pose different challenges…
I never actually tried emigrating. I just live in a country that is flooded from all sides, so I guess it can’t be that hard. Probably depends on where…though the US doesn’t seem like a place where I would feel safe or welcome being trans. Or at the very least tolerated.
