Summary
Transgender women in US prisons are being transferred to men’s facilities despite multiple federal court rulings blocking Trump’s day-one “gender ideology” executive order.
While 17 plaintiffs in lawsuits have been protected, others face transfers, with one woman reporting her records were changed from “female” to “male.”
Attorneys report that prison officials are now requiring incorrect pronouns, denying gender-appropriate clothing, rescinding policies allowing female guards to conduct pat-downs, and in some cases groping and confiscating underwear.
Lawyers and experts argue these actions violate federal law and dramatically increase risks of assault and trauma.
Seems like a stupid move even from the “I hate trans people” camp.
There are going to be some expensive lawsuits coming from this one regardless of how attractive using cognitive dissonance to pretend trans people don’t exist is to you.
You’re assuming they’ll ever pay. The executive is the one that would assist against nonpayment on a judgement, so all the defendant of a lawsuit like this has to do is be friendly with the executive branch.
