Separation of genders for incarceration is eugenics; not giving trans and sterile people the extra freedom of choosing which gender to be housed with is terrorism. All inmates deserve relative freedom to choose cellmate and definite freedom to only do what’s consensual.

Most of the new policies have been blocked in lower courts. These blocks, called “preliminary injunctions,” are temporary while the cases proceed. The administration appealed this preliminary injunction to SCOTUS, which today declined to overturn it. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/06/03/j...
