Trump Executive Order Mandates Transgender Women Be Housed in Men’s Prisons.

The news as it trends.

In a controversial move, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” on his first day back in office.

This order mandates that transgender women be housed in men’s prisons and halts federal funding for gender transition-related medical treatments.

The order aims to limit government recognition of an individual’s gender to their sex at birth, impacting both prisoners and immigration detainees.

According to a report by The Marshall Project, the rationale behind this executive order is to protect what the administration views as the biological reality of sex and to safeguard women’s spaces from those who self-identify as women.

The order has sparked significant controversy and concern among experts and advocates for transgender rights.
