Supreme Court rejects Trump administration bid to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender prisoners

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected the Trump administration's bid to restrict gender-affirming care for transgender people in federal prisons, preserving access while a legal challenge continues. The policy would have ended surgeries, gradually withdrawn hormone treatment and eliminated accommodations including wigs and makeup, and about 600 incarcerated people received hormone therapy in 2025, according to Bureau of Prisons court filings.
