President Trump’s Bureau of Prisons has slammed the door on taxpayer-funded gender-affirming surgeries for federal inmates, restoring sanity to a system hijacked by radical gender ideology. This decisive policy ends the absurdity of using hard-earned public dollars for elective mutilations behind bars, prioritizing real rehabilitation over activists’ demands. It’s a triumph of common sense, ensuring prisons focus on security and essentials, not social experiments.
The executive action builds on last year’s directives, explicitly barring federal funds for transitions while offering counseling and antidepressants for gender dysphoria. This shift rejects the left’s obsession with irreversible procedures that often worsen mental health, as mounting evidence shows therapy yields better results without lifelong complications. Prisons aren’t spas for the ideologically confused—resources must go to genuine medical needs, not delusions.
The ACLU’s predictable outrage claims this endangers inmates, but their hysteria ignores how such “care” invites abuse, with some exploiting claims for cushier housing or privileges. Supporters cheer the move as a safeguard for all prisoners, especially women vulnerable to biological males in shared facilities. Five states eyeing similar reforms prove even Democratic strongholds recognize the madness of funding this in lockup.
Democrats face a reckoning as voters recoil from activist overreach, with internal rifts exposing the party’s vulnerability ahead of midterms. Trump’s leadership exposes how far the left strayed, forcing a course correction toward biological reality and fiscal responsibility. This policy embodies the America First agenda—protecting taxpayers from woke waste while advancing real mental health solutions.
Legal challenges loom, but post-Bruen courts increasingly affirm limits on government overreach, bolstering this win. By refocusing on proven treatments, the administration honors constitutional limits and public will, dismantling Obama-era excesses. Trump’s bold stroke signals the tide turning against gender extremism, paving the way for nationwide sanity in corrections and beyond.7
