As someone in that position, I’ve been thinking about those effects a lot.

“Became a lot more free” often means sent to the butcher…9

my uncle runs a place in Anchorage that serves fish and chips, and he named the half portion the "Texas size" which is just an incredible troll

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions

We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

To be quite frank, I’d rather kill myself than detransition. But I think that’s their goal. They want us dead. This is just a step in that process that’s targeted against a population that has already been deprived of the means to fight back.

Essentially, the treatment mandated by this memo amounts to torture for those inmates. Forced detransition is, in the kindest terms, cruel and unusual punishment and contradicts existing standards of transgender medical care.

They also require that prisons revoke any and all gender affirming accommodations trans inmates might have. Including clothing.

Inmates who had prior gender affirming surgeries, which often render their bodies unable to produce primary sex hormones, are likewise to be weened off of HRT. Despite the fact that doing so can have significant health impacts (our bodies generally need either E or T to work correctly).

Inmates that were already diagnosed and began HRT prior to incarceration are to be weened off of their gender affirming medication and similarly stuffed full of antidepressants and sent to “therapy.”

How the following sections require trans inmates to be treated is much worse.

Inmates who are diagnosed with GD will not receive any form of gender affirming care. They will, however, get pumped full of antidepressants and sent to group and/or individual therapy.

These two definitions alone contradict existing medical and scientific understandings and assert that the basic experience of experiencing gender in a way that conflicts with what you were assigned at birth is a psychological issue. And that’s patently false.

The definition of Gender Identity goes much further, asserting that one’s GI is “disconnected from biological reality and sex” and “does not provide meaningful basis for identification and cannot be recognized as a replacement for sex.”

DSM 5 defines GD as “a marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and their assigned gender.” It doesn’t include “psychological disorder” or “biological sex.” It doesn’t even mention sex at all! The BOP version replaces assigned gender with a pseudoscientific term!

“…the perceived discrepancy between a person's expressed/experienced gender identity and his or her biological sex.” They imply this is the definition from DSM 5. But it differs from the actual DSM definition in a LOT of crucial ways.

To break it down, let’s start with Section 2 - Definitions. Right from the gate they grossly mis-define a series of key terms.

Let’s start with their definition of Gender Dysphoria (GD). They define it as “a psychological disorder” caused by distress from…

BOP - 5260.01 Management of Inmates with Gender Dysphoria

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has issued new policy for “management of inmates with gender dysphoria” (i.e. transgender prisoners).

tldr: The BoP will force inmates to detransition. HRT medications are to be phased out, and antipsychotics used instead.

Well, this morning has been a pleasant reminder of my public-facing reach as I see so many people reposting my series on Sparta talking about this.

But also, my dear friends do remember that @profpaulj.bsky.social knows as much about Sparta as I do, if not more.

But not dort. Dort is an idiot.
