Trans prisoners ask Supreme Court to preserve gender-affirming care
Federal
Lawyers for transgender people in federal prisons filed an October 8 opposition to the administration's Supreme Court stay request in Trump v. Kingdom. They ask the Court to keep a preliminary injunction protecting hormone therapy and social-transition accommodations while litigation continues. The filing argues that the Bureau of Prisons abandoned decades of individualized care without adequate justification. These are the prisoners' legal arguments, not a new Supreme Court ruling. The docket also records the government's October 9 reply; no disposition appears in the docket reviewed for this report. Preserving access matters for trans people whose healthcare depends on their jailers.
