Trump Administration Transfers Transgender Women to Men's Prisons
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Lawyers warn transgender women prisoners have been transferred to
federal men's prisons as part of Trump's order denying trans existence
and rights - this despite multiple court rulings blocking the policy.
But court rulings so far have only shielded the 17 trans plaintiffs in
the cases, leaving others vulnerable to relocation, where they have
already reported sexual misconduct by prison guards and having thoughts
of suicide.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has come under fire by fellow Democrats
after he characterized allowing transgender athletes to compete as
"deeply unfair." He made the comments during an interview on his podcast
with MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk. In response, the organization Human
Rights Campaign said, "The path to 2028 isn't paved with the betrayal of
vulnerable communities."
