Transgender women incarcerated in the US prison system have been transferred to menâs facilities under Donald Trumpâs executive order, despite multiple court rulings blocking the presidentâs policy, according to civil rights lawyers and accounts from behind bars.
Trumpâs day-one âgender ideologyâ order, one of several sweeping attacks on trans rights, said the attorney general âshall ensure that males are not detained in womenâs prisons or housed in womenâs detention centersâ and that no federal funds go to gender-affirming treatment or procedures for people in custody.
The executive order was quickly challenged in court. In three lawsuits filed on behalf of trans women housed in womenâs prisons, federal judges have ruled that the US Bureau of Prisons (BOP) cannot withhold their medical treatment and was barred from moving them to menâs facilities. One judge said the plaintiffs had âstraightforwardly demonstrated that irreparable harm will followâ.
The US have more people incarcerated than China and the US has one of if not the largest recidivism rates in the world.
I mean in American prisons, they place poor prisoners in four point restrains and urinate on them. I bet it is going to happen more frequently to the unfortunate trans women.
they are going to do much worse than that. people will get violated to death.
No. Theyâll just die.
