DOJ asks Supreme Court to uphold transgender treatment ban in federal prisons
Original: DOJ pleads with Supreme Court to save ban on transgender treatments in federal prisons
The Department of Justice has asked the Supreme Court to preserve its policy banning gender-affirming treatments for transgender inmates in federal prisons. The request puts the administration before the justices on a contested issue, with advocates arguing denial of care is unconstitutional and supporters framing the matter as one of prison policy discretion.
Why now: The DOJ's emergency appeal pushes a major transgender rights dispute directly before the Supreme Court.
