Trump administration rolls back rules protecting transgender inmates in federal prisons

President Trumps Justice Department moved Friday to roll back a series of Obama-era rules applying to transgender inmates in federal prisons.
The Bureau of Prisons released a policy change to its manual, which now says that the department will use biological sex as the basis for assigning facilities and bathrooms.
The order strikes a provision in the manual that said officials would recommend housing by gender identity when appropriate, and now says that designating inmates to facilities based on their identified gender would be appropriate only in rare cases.
The manual also now includes language stating that when considering recommendations to transfer transgender inmates to facilities in line with their identified gender, officials will consider whether such placement would threaten the management and security of the institution
or pose a risk to other inmates.

(61,695 posts)Caitlyn Jenner hasnt turned in her Republican Party membership yet, but the worlds most famous transgender woman admits Donald Trump is a disaster for her community.
During a controversial speech in Britains House of Commons on Wednesday, Jenner, a former Trump supporter, said the president had set trans rights back 20 years and implored the UK not to go down the same road. She criticized decisions such as Trumps ban on transgender service members and the repeal of Obama-era protections for trans students.

Before the election, Jenner insisted Trump was very much behind the LGBT community.
But by October 2017, she had changed her tune, calling the Trump White House by far the worst administration ever towards the LGBT communityand particularly the trans community, adding that it was time to gather together and fight what theyre doing.

(61,695 posts)She failed to consider that he knew he had to play to the conservative christian faction. That meant sacrificing LGTBQ community. And trump, being the selfish person that he is, just doesn't care. It's fine with him to let the rightwingers do what they want to turn back the calendar 60-70 years.

I don't give much credence to biblical language, but the great harm they doing to people is truly evil.

I heard him say it in an interview with Michelangelo Singnorile! (Mike was as disgusted by that statement as I am, FYI)

It would save a lot of typing.

(394 posts)Than it does with their desire to move the US back to the 1950's when they felt everything was great. I can't even blame that thought on Trump, many in the GOP have been trying to do it for over a decade. Trump himself has said a number of times the ideal version of America was in the 50's. They are so blind in their hatred of anything progressive and modern they don't realize how futile these actions are. They can hurt many people for the period of time they are in power but ultimately progress always wins out. It's really the height of arrogance and ignorance at the same time that they think any of this will become permanent.
It really makes me sad that people are put on the earth for such a short period of time and this group chooses to spend their time being regressive and petty instead of trying to do some good for the world.
