An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Respect trans inmates rights, obey the court orders, save lives

137 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

It is imperative that we uphold the court rulings prohibiting the transfer of transgender women to men's prisons and requiring the continued provision of gender-affirming medical treatment. These lawful orders stem from foundational principles of human rights and dignity that must be respected for all people, including those who are incarcerated. Forcibly housing transgender women in men's facilities and denying them appropriate care violates basic standards of decency, needlessly jeopardizes their safety, and contradicts established policies aimed at preventing sexual violence behind bars. The federal government has a responsibility to follow the rulings of the judiciary, not flout them through unilateral executive action. Willfully disregarding court orders breeds contempt for the rule of law and erodes our democratic system of checks and balances. No administration should selectively enforce laws and verdicts based on discrimination against a vulnerable population. Justice demands that we treat all people, including transgender individuals, with equal protection and human compassion regardless of their circumstances. This crackdown serves no legitimate purpose beyond inflicting cruelty on an already marginalized group. I urge you to immediately rescind policies that contravene court orders and human rights principles. Upholding the dignity and wellbeing of all people, including those who are transgender and incarcerated, is a moral imperative that reflects our nation's highest values. We must chart a course of greater inclusion, not reignite prejudice from a bygone era.
