Transgender Inmates Panic As Trump Orders Transfer To Men’s Prisons

Hundreds of transgender federal inmates face fear and uncertainty after President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring transfers based on biological sex instead of gender identity.

Legal advocates have raised concerns, warning that these inmates could face serious risks in male prisons.

“It’s going to be incredibly dangerous,” said attorney Moira Meltzer-Cohen, who represents Donna Langan, a transgender woman serving a life sentence for bank robbery, as quoted by DailyMailUK.

Meltzer-Cohen warns of a potential “bloodbath” if transgender inmates are forced into male prisons.

Trump’s executive order, signed on his first day in office, mandates that the government recognize only two sexes and restrict “intimate spaces” such as bathrooms and dorms to biological sex. It also halts federal funding for transition-related healthcare.

Sandra Gant, a federal public defender, reported that her office was contacted after a transgender client was placed in segregation pending transfer to a men’s prison. “She is terrified,” Gant said, urging legal action to challenge the policy.

Meanwhile, Rhonda Fleming, a female inmate in Texas, welcomed the decision after unsuccessfully trying to keep trans women out of women’s prisons. Fleming expressed concerns for her safety, claiming some male inmates falsely identify as female to transfer to women’s facilities.

The Bureau of Prisons, which oversees around 1,500 trans women and 750 trans men, has yet to finalize placements for inmates who have undergone gender-affirming surgeries, citing additional security considerations.

Trump’s executive order, part of a broader effort to roll back transgender protections, is expected to face legal challenges from organizations such as the ACLU.
