Pure vindictiveness.

This is all part of the long term plan to erase the existence of transgender folks, who are not going anywhere and have been with us as long as humans have existed. It's one of the more evil aspects of Project 2025, and Kevin Roberts has publicly stated that his goal is to use the law to remove all support for transgender people. I have trans family members and this is deeply enraging for me and the rest of my family and friends who are so supportive of this vulnerable community. My trans family members have been traumatized by this administration and I will never forgive the Republican Party for enabling and even encouraging this sickness.

Ick. It also feels clear they are laying the groundwork to say hormonal contraceptives are dangerous. For girls, then women. Iowa already stopped funding emergency contraception in ERs. Even for minors. (Aka abused children)

Pure MAGA and trump hatred

Here’s the blunt truth: The BOP doesn’t need more culture-war micromanagement — it needs morale and order. You want fewer fights, fewer stabbings, fewer broken men coming back worse than they went in? Start with basics. Feed inmates real food. Yes, bacon on weekends instead of mystery meat sludge. Restore structured family visitation and, where appropriate, conjugal programs that incentivize good behavior and preserve families. Stability reduces violence. Incentives create discipline. Right now the system is all punishment, no rehabilitation, and zero reward for compliance. Stop wasting money on ideological signaling and reinvest in programs that actually reduce recidivism and keep institutions calmer and safer.

For cryin' out loud. Are they trying to kill these people? Trying to reverse the treatment trans people have already received is not only futile (some hormonal changes aren't reversible, and obviously surgery isn't) but dangerous to the person's physical health (osteoporosis, cardiovascular problems).

I fail to see difference between the federal government’s objective in this case and the medical mistreatment and experimentation that occurred under the Nazi regime of Germany.

Black, brown, LGBTQ, Jew, Muslim, Asian, Native American, women … the only ones left, it seems, are white girls.

Those who are left are white cisgender heterosexual men...

Not to the only one who counts … and is counting.

Chris,

Criminal abuse lives in this new policy. We are in this together. No Kings. Peace. Christopher and family in SC.

Bigotry, plain and simple. Disgusting bigotry.

These vile bastards actually crave blood on their hands so long as the actual physical harm is done by others.

Well that's that! Glad the BOP has cleared up our puzzlement about our gender. What's next mandatory lobotomies for the trans population?
