America’s newly sworn in president, Donald Trump has ordered federal prisons to move transgender women to male prison cells.
This comes at the back of Trumps public identification of only two genders, Male and Female a day after his inauguration as president of the United states of America.
Again, the president has taken action to terminate gender-related medical treatments for transgender individuals in prison.
This decision has sparked significant debates regarding the rights and healthcare access for transgender inmates, raising concerns about the implications for their well-being and human rights within the correctional system.
However, the Women’s Liberation Front, which defines women based on sex at birth and advocates single-sex prisons, called the directive “a major victory – New York times has revealed.
Notably, transgender women refers to individuals who live as women but were identified as males by birth. Trumps order seeks to eradicate the various sex identities thereby recognizing only Male and female as the standard gender identity in the United States of America.
