Federal inmates who are transgender women must be housed in men’s facilities, President Trump ordered. Any medical treatments related to gender transition must also stop, The New York Times reports. Trump’s executive order, titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” appears to require the rehousing only of transgender women, not transgender men. In the order, Trump’s language echoed arguments of critics who say that female inmates are endangered when housed with transgender women. The number of people affected is relatively small. There are about 1,500 federal prisoners who are transgender women, according to the Bureau of Prisons. But they represent an outsize portion of federal inmates, especially among female prisoners: though transgender adults make up less than 1% of adults in the U.S., 15% of women in prison are transgender. There are 750 transgender men out of about 144,000 male prisoners. t is unclear why the number is higher in federal prisons, but experts point to studies that show transgender people are more likely to attract attention from law enforcement.
