Federal prisons must keep providing gender-affirming hormone care and protections to transgender people, after a federal judge on Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction blocking one of Trump’s anti-trans executive orders. The ACLU welcomed the “critical ruling,” saying in a statement, “This administration’s cruelty towards transgender people disregards their rights under the Constitution. The denial of medically necessary health care, including gender-affirming health care, to people in prison is a violation of their fundamental constitutional rights.”
