Transgender inmates panic as Donald Trump's executive order sends them packing to men's prisons

Daily Mail

Hundreds of transgender federal prisoners are living in fear after a 'roundup' that will send them packing to men's lockups following a day-one executive order from President Donald Trump.

Now lawyers are desperately trying to find a way to fight the order, saying the prisoners will have 'a target on their backs' as they move in with hardened male inmates.

'It's going to be incredibly dangerous,' attorney Moira Meltzer-Cohen told DailyMail.com.

Meltzer-Cohen represents Donna Langan, a transgender woman who underwent a sex change in federal prison. She is serving a life sentence for bank robbery as a member of the neo-Nazi Aryan Republican Army.

Meltzer-Cohen said she fears there would be a 'bloodbath' if her client and other trans inmates are forced into male prisons.

The order declared that the government will only recognize two sexes – male and female. This means all 'intimate spaces designated for women, girls, or females' will be determined by sex rather than gender identity.

DailyMail.com viewed an email from a federal public defender in Massachusetts that was sent to colleagues nationally.

It stated that one of her clients imprisoned in Minnesota, a transgender woman, was among those rounded up and is 'terrified' of what will happen when they're sent to male prisons.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Frankly, it will probably be dangerous. So I see two choices. Put them in a facility designated  for sex offenders. Or put them in solitary confinement (which from what I understand is a fate feared by prisoners).

Trans inmate's lawsuit challenges Trump 'two-sexes' order cutting off tax money for gender therapy
Lawsuit claims federal trans prisoner will 'not be safe' under President Donald Trump's executive order
 By Jamie Joseph Fox News
Published January 28, 2025 10:53am EST

A transgender inmate receiving taxpayer-funded medical treatments has launched the first lawsuit against the Trump administration and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) challenging President Donald Trump's executive order that puts an end to medical transgender treatments for federal prisoners.

Trump's executive order, titled "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," prohibits federal funds from being "expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex." The order also declares there are only "two-sexes."

The unnamed inmate, who goes by "Maria Moe" in court documents and is represented by GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders and National Center for Lesbian Rights and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, has been on medical hormones since they were a teenager and has not been housed in a men's facility since their conviction.

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure the reason she might have a problem doesn't have as much to do with her sexual identity.
