The Trump administration has decided to validate conversion "therapy" by forcing transgender inmates in federal prisons to participate.
First, the science shows that it does not work, and second, and more importantly, they are conducting involuntary medical experiments on prisoners.
Paging Dr. Mengele.
It's enough to make me rethink my position on capital punishment.
Last Thursday, the Trump administration released its new policy outlining how it will treat transgender people in Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody. Under it, the approximately 2,200 trans people held in federal prisons will be denied access to medically necessary healthcare, subjected to constant misgendering by staff, and have all of their gender-affirming items—including binders, bras, and makeup—confiscated.
Instead, the policy will impose a treatment that targets “psychological distress/dysphoria” through “psychotherapy” (talk therapy) and “psychotropic medication” (like antidepressants) until the gender dysphoria diagnosis can be marked as “resolved.” Additionally, the new policy designates gender dysphoria as a “mental illness” that requires “routine mental health care.”
In other words, the Trump administration won’t just medically and socially detransition trans people en masse; it will actively try to ‘cure’ them of their gender dysphoria. And if this is beginning to sound like conversion therapy, that’s because it is. The BOP is giving trans people no other choice but to conform to their sex assigned at birth by forcing them into a societal role that they reject and ignoring clinical guidelines—all hallmarks of harmful and dangerous conversion practices recognized by the United Nations to be a form of torture.
This is quite literally lifted straight from the Nazi playbook in the 1930s. (Also lifted from Florida policy today under Ron DeSantis, but I am repeating my self.)
These people need to be broken like the Nazis were, and the willing executioners among the bureaucracy need to be rooted out of government and public life completely.
