Trump’s Executive Order Sparks Fear Among Transgender Inmates as Prison Transfers Loom

[Social Media]

 

A sweeping executive order issued by former President Donald Trump has left hundreds of transgender federal prisoners facing uncertainty and fear. The directive, signed on Trump's first day back in office, mandates that federal prisons classify inmates strictly by biological sex, disregarding gender identity. For transgender inmates, this policy shift means relocation to facilities that match their birth sex, causing widespread panic and concern.  

 

Attorney Moira Meltzer-Cohen, who represents Donna Langan—a transgender woman serving a life sentence in federal prison—voiced grave concerns about the order's implications. "It's going to be incredibly dangerous," she said. Langan, a former member of the neo-Nazi Aryan Republican Army, underwent gender-affirming surgery while incarcerated. Meltzer-Cohen warned of potential violence, saying, "I fear there could be a bloodbath if trans inmates are forced into male prisons."  

 

The executive order declares that only two sexes—male and female—will be recognized in government policy. Spaces designated for women, including bathrooms and prison facilities, will now be determined solely by biological sex. The directive also cuts federal funding for transition-related medical services and bars the use of terms like "gender" in favor of "sex."  

 

An email obtained by DailyMail.com from a federal public defender in Massachusetts highlighted the immediate impact of the policy. The email, written by public defender Sandra Gant, described the panic of a transgender inmate in Minnesota. "Her family reached out in a panic," Gant wrote. "As of this morning, she and others at FCI Waseca have been segregated and told they are being processed for transfer to a men's prison. She is terrified."  

 

Gant called on colleagues to prepare legal challenges to the policy, asking if organizations like the ACLU might be pursuing litigation. "Has anyone prepared to litigate this, or have any insights or advice on challenging this?" she inquired.  

 

The Bureau of Prisons estimates that there are approximately 1,500 transgender women and 750 transgender men in federal custody. With transfers imminent, legal advocates are scrambling to find ways to protect these individuals, who face heightened risks of assault and discrimination in facilities aligned with their birth sex.  

 

The order has drawn starkly polarized reactions. Conservative groups have lauded the policy as a return to "common sense," while transgender advocates view it as an assault on their rights. Meanwhile, Rhonda Fleming, a cisgender female inmate at Carswell Federal Medical Center in Texas, expressed relief over the new policy. Fleming, who had previously filed a lawsuit to remove transgender women from her facility, argued that biological women like herself face stress and fear in shared spaces with trans inmates.  

 

Her lawsuit, however, was dismissed just days before Trump signed the executive order. "What the judge did Wednesday was a farce," Fleming said in an interview. "It was a mockery of justice." She also claimed that some male inmates falsely identify as transgender to gain access to women’s facilities.  

 

Trump’s executive order represents a sharp departure from the policies of the Biden and Obama administrations, which had advanced protections for transgender individuals. The rollback has amplified fears within the transgender community, with many questioning the broader societal implications of these changes. For transgender inmates now facing transfers, the immediate focus remains survival in a system that many believe is ill-equipped to ensure their safety.

Request protective custody in the men's prison. 

[JonnyF]

How many trans men demand to be in men's prisons? 

 

They'd find out pretty quickly if they were a "real man".

 

This isn't about identity it's about pervs preferring to be surrounded by women. 

 

Get them out of women's jails immediately.

Federal funds should NEVER have been used for something that is done by choice. It's that sort of bs that won the presidency for Trump. Taxpayers have had a gutsful of their money being used for woke nonsense.

Seems that woke policies trumped real issues under Biden. Now they have been trumped by Trump.

Shouldn't have done the crime then.

[impulse]

Of the 10,047 total inmates in women’s federal facilities, 1,538 are biological males, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP).

 

That's 15%.  Wow.  Data from From the Bureau of Prisons...

Transgenderism is a mental illness. They will be given free help if they wish

[SiSePuede419]

Not every Transgender is afraid of Trump...

 

I remember a Pro-Trump Transgender telling me way back in 2016 "I think you're going to be surprised what he will accomplish".

 

But alas no, I wasn't surprised.

 

I already knew he was a GREAT CON ARTIST who was going to fool LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of people. 👍

There are many forms of mental illness.

And no, as of now we can't help you if you don't want help, but that may change under Trump with Involuntary Rendition to Black Ops Torture Facilities. 😀

Free?  Won't someone need to pay for this?  The receiver might get it for free, but someone still needs to pay the therapist or whoever is the giver.

 

Maybe 'giver' or 'receiver' isn't the best words to use for prison inmates...

Mental Health Services are provided to all Federal inmates.

Simple, allocate a wing for them, separate free areas or don't commit a crime and go to jail.

Personally I think that a mixed gender prison, with gender separat cells and rest rooms, would be a healthier prison system resulting in less violence and less mental health issues, the loss of freedom is bad enough without the artificial all female or all male confined community, it could help in genuine rehabilitation.

What does a mixed gender prison look like? 

 

That would be thousands of new prisons.

Why, one would only need building alterations for showers and toilets in both the female and male prisons, the prisons are there already and the number of prisoners are the same.

So men that I dentify as women would remain in the men's prisons, is that correct?

No, there would no longer be gender specific prisons, men and women would serve time in the same prisons. Biological males whether trans or not would use the men's showers and toilets, biological women, no matter what they identify as, would use the women's showers and toilets. It would only be problematic with fully operated trans but that could be solved with specific different shower times in their identified gender, no harm done.

So a separate ward in the men's prison for the men who identify as women, and a separate ward in the women's prison for the women that identify as men?

I don't know what you mean by wards, I don't see why women's and men's cells shouldn't be next to each other in the same block, trannies could share cells with each other in the same blocks as the men and women's shared block. There shouldn't need to be social separation between genders, same work spaces, same dinning hall, same recreation spaces, the very openness would act as self policing, the group dynamic would ensure civility, most people aren't animals.

Men and women are prisons are typically separate facilities. Are referring to men that identify as women, and women that identify as men as men?

 

A ward is a large cell with numerous bunks.
