Red-State AG Backs Trump in Denying Taxpayer-Funded Sex Change Procedures for Trans Prisoners
A red-state AG backs President Trump's stance that prisoners have no constitutional right to sex changes, citing federal and state authorities as being within constitutional bounds. The decision denies taxpayer-funded sex change procedures for transgender inmates in federal prisons.
A red-state Attorney General told a court that prisoners have no constitutional right to undergo taxpayer-funded sex changes, backing former President Trump's stance in denying federal authorities access to such procedures for transgender inmates. The AG's brief argues that the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee the right to gender identity modification. Federal and state authorities claim they are operating within their constitutional bounds by withholding funding for sex change surgeries. The court will consider whether these denials violate the rights of transgender prisoners.
