Trump admin directs prisons to wean trans inmates off of hormone therapy in defiance of court order - LGBTQ Nation

Experts warn the move will have dangerous medical and psychological consequences for incarcerated trans people.

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.
