Block the Supreme Court From Freezing Medically Necessary Hormone Treatment

Block the Trump administration's attempt to strip gender-affirming care from federal prisoners at the Supreme Court. The administration is asking the Supreme Court to freeze Judge Lamberth's order protecting hormone therapy and other medically necessary treatment for over 600 incarcerated people. The Bureau of Prisons does not dispute that untreated gender dysphoria causes depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Hormone therapy is not elective. It is medicine. Cutting it off because of an executive order is not a policy decision, it is deliberate harm to people who cannot seek care anywhere else. This ban does not distinguish between transgender and cisgender patients who rely on hormone treatment for documented medical needs. The Supreme Court must not allow politics to override a doctor's treatment plan. Stand against this administration's request and support the lower court orders keeping medically necessary care in place.
