Transgender detainees cut off from hormone drugs
This is a sick, sick, sick policy by US Immigration...
Transgender detainees cut off from hormone drugs
Advocacy group claims jail is depriving immigration detainees of 'adequate health care'
SANTA ANA — In the depths of depression, battling hot flashes and desperate about her situation, Monica Freas tried to throw herself from the second floor of the Santa Ana Jail before friends restrained her.
After two decades of taking hormone replacement therapy, the 35-year-old no longer had access to the drugs that made her feel comfortable in her own skin. She begged and pleaded with jailers for months to give her the medication that made her "feel normal" but they refused.

Horrible! And for what? Let the girls family send her her meds for God sake!

Re: Transgender detainees cut off from hormone drugs
quoted from that article in the link,
"While immigration officials say they don't know the exact cost of providing hormone therapy to detainees, at least one physician puts the price tag at about $1,000 per person per year for treatment and monitoring"
I don't know is that 1,000 per person per year was a misprint of quoted wrong, but if that is correct, that is barely nothing to keep someone physically and mentally healthy and happy.

Re: Transgender detainees cut off from hormone drugs
Question, are the "Don't expect me to pay for it" comments an attempt to troll?
It's surprising to hear that coming from a forum dedicated to enjoy trans girls.
Anyway, HRT is cheap, as mentioned before, and honestly I don't understand why trans girls (or trans guys) are put into the correct penitentiary facility like in the UK, it's surprising that the US is behind other places in human rights.

Re: Transgender detainees cut off from hormone drugs
Simple answer is no, probably not. I was not terribly surprised to hear this from one of the people, but the other one did surprise me. We're very big on human rights violations in other countries, not so worried about it here, given our lack of a workable immigration policy and equal enforcement of the applicable laws.
