The administration has already been blocked from implementing its ban on gender-affirming care in prisons. Last year, three transgender people currently incarcerated in federal custody filed a class action suit against the administration and the Federal Bureau of Prisons challenging those policies. In June 2025, a federal judge granted a temporary injunction requiring the BOP to continue providing gender-affirming care to trans inmates as the case proceeds.

    Once again that fucking dictatorship trying to impose its own “moral values” by systematically eliminating anyone who’s not white/“Christian”/straight/hetero/Aryan/crypto

  • Just in case cis folk are unaware, HRT isn’t something you can just “wean” someone off of. It depends upon the person’s circumstances of course but for many of us, especially those of us who have been trans for a long time, it can have severe health effects such as osteoporosis. You know, in addition to the fact that it’s literally meant to be torture.

      Thanks for the write-up. Forcefully stopping someone’s medical treatment (especially with effects as strong as HRT) already sounded terrible in theory but these side effects and the deliberate intention of torture are scary and horrible as fuck. And yet, the administration and its supporters claim to be “moral”… bunch of ghouls.

      • It’s also similar to how England tortured Alan Turing for being gay after he helped them in WW2. He was essentially sentenced to receive forced HRT in an effort to sterilize him. He later committed suicide.

          I’ve heard some of what they subjected him to… after everything he had done for them he was treated like a ‘useful idiot’ and then a pest. Abysmal. That’s their plan for trans people too - an active and passive genocide (outright killing them or pushing them to commit). I hate the state of the world right now.

            MAGA is absolutely out for blood, but even the neoliberals in the Democratic party seem eager to drop support for us as a bid to appease their donors. It’s beyond maddening

              Yup, SO many dems are willing to sacrifice minorities either out of genuine phobia or to appease and win some voters on the right. I know that the wish for ‘absolute moral purity’ can mess up SO MUCH in politics, especially for dems during elections as far as I have seen. Trans people make up such a small percentage of the population and are ALREADY victimized ridiculously more than they commit any crimes or moral failings and these people just feed into the deliberate misinformation campaign of “violent trans shooters”.

    We told you this would happen if the Republican scumbags were allowed to take power. We fucking warned you.

    Courts, you will continue to be more irrelevant if no one enforces their rulings. Existential crisis.

      That’s what the US Marshals are for. They are a police force answering directly to the courts. It’s a police force of limited jurisdiction, but an agency executive not obeying court orders falls within that jurisdiction.

        Well that’s really cool…

        Let’s see if they get the Marshalls organized within the next couple weeks. It would be cool to see them arrest a few uncooperative wardens.

      Hold people in contempt, put out arrest warrants, and stick the US Marshalls (police force directly answerable to only the courts) on 'em?

          Fuck it. They should just order people released if the government isn’t going to follow court orders. And if the administration doesn’t released those the courts ordered released, they courts should let private citizens storm jails and free the wrongfully held at the point of gun. All they would have to do is say, “the courts will not hear any cases relating to private individuals using force to enforce lawful court orders.”

          Then it would be perfectly legal to go and simply shoot your way into prisons to free the unjustly held.

      Nothing courts are entirely powerless children. They have no real power. Those who have the actual power are starting to realize that if they just don’t listen to them there’s nothing they can do.
