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.

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.

    It's also similar to how England tortured Alan Turing for being gay after he helped them in WW2. He was essentially sentenced to receive forced HRT in an effort to sterilize him. He later committed suicide.

    I've heard some of what they subjected him to... after everything he had done for them he was treated like a 'useful idiot' and then a pest. Abysmal. That's their plan for trans people too - an active and passive genocide (outright killing them or pushing them to commit). I hate the state of the world right now.

    MAGA is absolutely out for blood, but even the neoliberals in the Democratic party seem eager to drop support for us as a bid to appease their donors. It's beyond maddening

    Yup, SO many dems are willing to sacrifice minorities either out of genuine phobia or to appease and win some voters on the right. I know that the wish for 'absolute moral purity' can mess up SO MUCH in politics, especially for dems during elections as far as I have seen. Trans people make up such a small percentage of the population and are ALREADY victimized ridiculously more than they commit any crimes or moral failings and these people just feed into the deliberate misinformation campaign of "violent trans shooters".
