Bureau of Prisons' Plan to Move Transgender Inmates Based on Sex at Birth

The Bureau of Prisons is planning to move transgender inmates to facilities based on their sex at birth instead of their gender identity, leading to concerns about safety and potential harm. A lawsuit has been filed to block the move, citing fear of assault and lack of individualized assessment. Previous individual assessments were replaced by Trump's executive order recognizing only two sexes. Efforts are being made to address concerns of assault and violence, but the moves are still expected to happen soon.
