""It is, in every meaningful sense, a blueprint for a government-run conversion therapy program, one targeting thousands of incarcerated people who have nowhere to turn.""
""Across both Democratic and Republican administrations, gender-affirming housing was rare, and surgery rarer still.""
The Bureau of Prisons has issued new directives that classify being transgender as a mental health disorder, mandating a treatment plan for inmates with gender dysphoria. This plan includes confiscation of gender-affirming items, denial of hormones, and forced psychotherapy. The previous administration's guidelines aimed to provide gender-affirming care, but implementation has been inconsistent across facilities. The new policy represents a significant shift towards a government-mandated conversion therapy approach for transgender inmates.
