DOJ Will Investigate California & Maine Over Trans Inmates in Women’s Prisons

Forced de-transition through the denial of medications, which can especially be quite dangerous if the inmate is no longer capable physically of producing hormones. Even for trans people choosing to de-transition, it requires careful medical management and that's not being provided. In addition, we're seeing the implementation of conversion therapy, which is an extremely controversial practice.

> Uncloseted Media obtained a copy of a new BOP policy dated Feb. 19, 2026, titled “Management of Inmates with Gender Dysphoria.” The policy introduces a process to “develop a tapering plan that includes … discontinuation of the hormone intervention” for individuals already receiving treatment, and reaffirms the denial of social accommodations and new HRT prescriptions. It also states, “The Bureau will comply with this Executive Order [14168] unless compliance … is prohibited by a court injunction or court order.” https://www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/we-spoke-to-8-incarcerated-trans > Signed into effect by Bureau of Prisons (BOP) director Billy Marshall on February 19, the policy prohibits the bureau from providing gender-affirming surgeries or hormone replacement therapy to federal inmates diagnosed with gender dysphoria. Inmates who were previously receiving hormone medications will be forcibly tapered off of them and given a new individualized treatment plan that “may include psychotherapy, group counseling, psychiatric services, and psychotropic medications.” https://www.them.us/story/federal-prisons-are-beginning-to-force-trans-inmates-off-hormone-therapy > Make no mistake: this checks all the boxes of medical experimentation. By its own admission, the Trump administration is throwing out existing medical standards and instead wishes to force arbitrary guidelines onto a captive population—all the while being fully aware of the risks and actively documenting the results. As Transitics reported last month, this is being done with the intention of ‘helping’ trans people “recover” from gender dysphoria, which is a euphemism for conversion therapy. And this will be imposed onto the ~2,200 trans people in federal prisons until it ‘works,’ until they are released, or until it breaks them. https://transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-administration-admits-to

I mean as long as trans people exist and their lives are being affected in hugely negative ways its a little silly to tell them to just be chill and stop obsessing. This entire anti-trans push is in direct response to trans people speaking up, and being more visible. Telling them to sit down and wait their turn just isn't a good take. It's what some Iranians are saying about human rights to their fellow citizens too, and it's how progress dies for generations.

Can I sacrifice you and the people you love for my comfort?

Their rights are all our rights. There's no daylight between their issues and ours. ALL people created equal..remember?

It is disgusting to say this in response to a comment about trans people being raped, tortured, and experimented upon.

Good to know you feel human rights violations & genocide are distractions from "the *real* issues"

What the f***? We need to stop with the f****** trans talk? We're the ones obsessing? You say on an article about the Trump Administration further taking actions just to harm trans people. Scrubbed history. Clearly an attempt to gaslight. And it's disgusting.

Yes. It wouldn't make r*** of inmates by guards stop but it would make it much less likely.
