Trump's campaign ad attacks Vice President Harris for supporting taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for prisoners, while the reality of his administration's policies is more complex.
During Trump's presidency, the Bureau of Prisons provided gender-affirming treatments, including hormone therapy, to a small group of inmates, countering the ad's simplistic narrative.
Despite the ad’s claims, Trump's administration was bound by federal law to fund medically necessary surgeries for prisoners, showcasing a more nuanced approach to transgender care.
Guidelines from the Obama administration aimed at ensuring transgender inmates' access to necessary medical care remained relevant during Trump's time, complicating the narrative presented in the ad.
