Trump admin asks supreme court to allow gender-affirming care denial to transgender prisoners

The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow the Bureau of Prisons to restrict gender-affirming medical care for transgender inmates in federal prisons. In its filing, the administration argued that recommendations from a major transgender health organization lack sufficient scientific reliability to justify such medical interventions. The case is now before the Supreme Court to decide whether these restrictions can take effect.
