In a move that will lower inflation, reduce the price of eggs and gas, create jobs, and definitely MAGA for all of us, the Bureau of Prisons will push forward with their dumbass plan to transfer transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities corresponding to their sex at birth. Federal inmates and an anonymous source familiar with the policy told NPR the moves could happen as early as next week.
This would mean transgender women currently housed in women’s facilities would be moved to men’s facilities, and vice versa. It’s expected that the moves will impact trans inmates regardless of whether they’ve received gender transition surgery of any kind.
The move is already being challenged
A lawsuit filed late Friday afternoon by a dozen transgender women inmates is attempting to block the BOP from moving the federal prison system’s trans population.
“If transferred, these people, some of who are post-surgery, would be at an incredibly high risk of assault,” said Kara Janssen, the lawyer representing the incarcerated plaintiffs.
The Fascist Felon’s executive order — which states that the federal government recognizes only two sexes, male and female — “provides no room for individualized determinations or discretion, does nothing to further safety and security, and these continued attempts to transfer people and put them in direct harm appear to be motivated by nothing more than hate and cruelty towards this population,” she said in an email to NPR.
