Trump Bars Transgender Women From U.S. Prisons for Female Inmates
Briefly

President Trump's executive order mandates that federal prisons house transgender women in men's facilities while halting medical treatments related to gender transition. This order, enacted on his first day in office, broadens previous restrictions and extends to immigrants. The Women’s Liberation Front celebrates this directive as a crucial win for single-sex prisons, citing constitutional concerns for non-transgender female inmates. However, the order faces criticism from advocates for transgender individuals, arguing that it endangers their safety within the penal system.
The new order represents a significant escalation in federal policies against gender transition, impacting housing and healthcare for transgender prisoners and immigration detainees.
Women’s Liberation Front hailed the directive as a victory for single-sex prisons, asserting that it safeguards the rights of female inmates from transgender housing requests.
