Trump Administration winds back Obama-era protections for transgender prisoners
Just came across this report. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...r-prison-lgbtq
Basically, it looks like the default position will be that transsexuals in federal prisons will be put into male facilities, with exceptions only in "rare cases".

'Obama made it, we destroy it.'
The politics of hatred and revenge, because they have nothing else to offer.

Re: Trump Administration winds back Obama-era protections for transgender prisoners
This doesn't surprise me at all. This Administration and the Republican Party is actively seeking to oppress transgender US citizens.
They started with banning transgender bathroom use for students.
They Banned Transgender Citizens from joining the military making a false claim from Trump that the reason transgender citizens want to be in the military is cover their medical procedures. Most transgender women I know don't want to go the masculine way to transition. Also claiming that trans ppl are too mentally unstable to serve.
In the coming weeks, the administration will launch its next attack also on trans rights by announcing the revocation of a landmark regulation that protects transgender people from discrimination in health care.
Fosta-Sesta puts also puts some trans back into the streets if they don't have a back-up plan.
Job Bias
In Short: Trump administration has withdrawn federal guidance protecting transgender schoolchildren, employees, military, insurance, and homeless people and now this prison crap.
The list will go on. This Administration will continue to stomp/crush and oppress them from their rights as long as he or a republican president are in the White House.
I do question for those who voted for trump what is something that they feel proud of that is benefiting them from this vote. Just curious.
Trump and his Administration are like a disease for the transgender community!

Yet many in the community - including some trans girls - voted for that moron.

Re: Trump Administration winds back Obama-era protections for transgender prisoners
Your post reminded me of the thread you started 2 years ago on the Breitbart article on transsexuals supporting Trump. http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/sho...trannies+trump
Out of curiosity I googled the four names mentioned in the article to see what they were saying now.
Caitlyn Jenner has clearly seen the light and turned against Trump. http://thehill.com/homenews/administ...-back-20-years
Rachel Francon seems to have disappeared since mid-2017, as has her facebook page 'Genders United for Trump.
Theryn Meyer has an active twitter page, but seems to be avoiding comments on Trump (though some negative comments about the Alt-right) https://twitter.com/thetherynmeyer?lang=en
Tara Sophia/Sophia Eris - also gone very quiet after her twitter account was suspended last year https://twitter.com/TabletopGirls/st...23475189780480 https://twitter.com/TabletopGirls/st...23475189780480

Re: Trump Administration winds back Obama-era protections for transgender prisoners
1. Transsexual or otherwise, don't commit a crime and get sent to prison.
2. My understanding of the Obama administration policy was someone could merely claim to be trans and then request transfer to a female prison. This would lead to chaos. There is a South park that touches on this very point. If you want to get outraged on someone's behalf, why not the female prisoners would be getting folks with male equipment locked in with them?
3. This faux outrage needs to stop. Save the outrage for when there is real oppression. Cry "wolf" too many times, and people won't listen to you when you really need help.
4. Once again, if you are a transsexual worried about being thrown into the general prison population then don't commit a federal crime. Problem solved!

Re: Trump Administration winds back Obama-era protections for transgender prisoners
DOD regs from the obama administration clearly stated that only fully transitioned persons would be able to serve.
Otherwise it would be chaos.
