A federal judge just slammed the brakes on President Trump’s order to stop sex-change treatments for transgender prison inmates. Reagan-appointed Judge Royce Lamberth ruled the Trump administration failed to explain why these procedures should be treated differently than other medical care. This decision forces taxpayers to keep funding hormone therapies and “social accommodations” like women’s clothing for biological males in federal prisons.
The judge claimed Trump’s executive order violated bureaucratic rules under the Administrative Procedure Act. He sided with three inmates suing to continue their gender treatments, arguing prison officials had already approved their care. Legal experts note this ruling highlights how activist judges can override presidential authority with technical procedural arguments.
President Trump’s order aimed to end what many conservatives see as extreme gender ideology pushed on taxpayers. The policy would’ve stopped federal prisons from using public funds for surgeries or hormone treatments meant to change inmates’ physical appearance. Critics argue these procedures are experimental and shouldn’t be prioritized over basic healthcare needs in prisons.
Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley warns the administration must pick its battles carefully. While supporting Trump’s pushback against nationwide injunctions, Turley stresses the White House can’t ignore court orders. He suggests focusing on convincing higher courts that district judges overstepped by blocking policies affecting all federal prisons at once.
This case exposes the growing tension between elected leaders and unaccountable judges making sweeping rulings. Conservatives see this as judicial activism—unelected officials rewriting policy instead of interpreting law. The ruling forces prisons to keep controversial treatments even as many Americans question funding permanent biological changes for criminals.
The Biden administration originally allowed these procedures, claiming they’re “medically necessary.” Trump’s reversal aligned with his promise to protect taxpayers from funding radical gender policies. Prison officials now face chaos, ordered to provide treatments some doctors argue cause long-term harm.
Hardworking Americans deserve to know their tax dollars are being used to give murderers and rapists free electrolysis and estrogen shots. This ruling prioritizes political correctness over public safety and fiscal responsibility. Meanwhile, veterans and law-abiding citizens struggle to get basic medical care.
The legal fight continues, but one thing’s clear: woke judges keep blocking common-sense policies a majority of Americans support. This battle isn’t just about prisons—it’s about who controls our nation’s future. President Trump vowed to defend traditional values, and real patriots won’t back down from this fight for medical sanity.
