Court Rejects Trump's Order to Transfer Transgender Women to Men's Prisons

washington - A US court rules against moving twelve transgender women from women's prisons to men's prisons, citing constitutional concerns.

Court Rules Against Trump's Order

Twelve transgender women in US women's prisons will not be transferred to men's prisons, following a court decision. Previously, three transgender women successfully challenged the transfer, with nine more cases now upholding the ruling based on constitutional grounds. The court specifically referenced the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits 'cruel and unusual punishments'.

President Trump, on the first day of his second term, declared that the government will only recognize male and female sexes, rejecting the concept of gender identity differing from assigned sex as 'gender ideology'. He aims to ban transgender individuals from the military and halt transgender care for minors in hospitals. Legal battles continue over the latter measure, involving concerned parents fearing the adverse effects of discontinuing such care on their children. The ACLU condemns these actions as discriminatory, accusing the president of attempting to 'erase the existence of transgender people from the law'.
