Not making this up!
Transgender women are being moved to men’s prisons despite court rulings against Donald Trump’s executive order demanding it, according to a report.
Trump’s “gender ideology” order, which he signed on his first day in office, directed the attorney general to make sure “males” — which he defines as including trans women — are “not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers.”
The order also prohibits federal funds from being spent on gender-affirming treatment or procedures for people in custody.
There are roughly 1,200 transgender inmates in the Bureau of Prisons' custody. The agency first started allowing inmates to receive gender-affirming care in 2023.
Federal judges in three separate lawsuits have ruled that the agency cannot withhold inmates’ medical treatment, and has barred them from moving trans women into men’s facilities, citing “irreparable harm.”
Yet trans women are being moved into men’s prisons, reports The Guardian, citing accounts from civil rights attorneys and prisoners.
