A recent Bureau of Prisons policy forces transgender women in federal prisons to surrender female clothing and gender-affirming items like women's razors. This change follows an executive order from President Trump that moved to remove transgender women from women's facilities and discontinue gender-affirming care. Legal challenges are ongoing against this order. Inmates at FCI Seagoville express deep distress over the policy, with one stating, "In here, we do not exist anymore." The policy reflects a substantial setback for incarcerated transgender individuals, undermining essential support for their identities.
