Trump Administration Transfers Transgender Women to Men’s Prisons

HeadlineMar 10, 2025

Lawyers warn transgender women prisoners have been transferred to federal men’s prisons as part of Trump’s order denying trans existence and rights — this despite multiple court rulings blocking the policy. But court rulings so far have only shielded the 17 trans plaintiffs in the cases, leaving others vulnerable to relocation, where they have already reported sexual misconduct by prison guards and having thoughts of suicide.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has come under fire by fellow Democrats after he characterized allowing transgender athletes to compete as “deeply unfair.” He made the comments during an interview on his podcast with MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk. In response, the organization Human Rights Campaign said, “The path to 2028 isn’t paved with the betrayal of vulnerable communities.”
