Pig Fed Judge Appointed by Reagan Blocks Trump’s Executive Order to Deport Trannies to Men’s Prisons
judge is probably right that Trump’s order is illegal under the current framework of US law.
Basically, the constitutional guarantees of “free association” were destroyed by a series of laws that required “civil rights” equalities for blacks and then for women. Then the gays got those rights. Then the trannies.
In order to actually do federal bans on trannies getting access to women’s federal facilities, you would need to overturn the entire “civil rights” infrastructure, or you would need to pass a law in Congress saying that there are only two genders and therefore “trans” people do not exist and cannot be protected by civil rights legislation.
Of course, the entire framework of US law as it stands right now is basically creative writing, so there is probably some weasel way to ban trannies from US women’s prisons without an act of Congress. I’m not an expert in this field.
The Guardian:
A US judge has temporarily blocked federal prisons from transferring transgender women to men’s facilities and barring their access to hormone therapy, halting one of Donald Trump’s executive orders seeking to erode trans rights behind bars.
A lawsuit filed last week by three incarcerated trans women challenged Trump’s anti-trans order, which directed the US bureau of prisons to make sure “males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers” and that no federal funds go to gender-affirming treatment or procedures for people in custody.
The US district judge Royce Lamberth in Washington on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order, ruling late on Tuesday that Trump’s order discriminates against transgender people and violates their constitutional rights.
