Trump admin asks Supreme Court to allow denial of gender-affirming care to trans inmates

The Trump administration filed an emergency request with the US Supreme Court seeking to lift lower-court injunctions that blocked its policy denying gender-affirming care to transgender federal prisoners. The solicitor general argues the care, including surgeries and hormone therapy, can no longer be justified. This is a legal escalation in an ongoing dispute, with the high court's decision potentially setting precedent on prisoner medical care and transgender rights.
