The Justice Department on Monday inserted itself in a lawsuit concerning transgender medical interventions for prisoners. The department filed a statement of interest in a federal case involving a trans-identifying man in prison in Georgia who wants to receive gender surgery. The anonymous trans-identifying man‚ called Jane Doe in court filings‚ is claiming the Georgia Department of Corrections has violated his rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)‚ as well as his constitutional rights by not allowing him to get gender surgery. “People with gender dysphoria should be able to seek the full protections of the American[s] with Disabilities Act‚ just like other people with disabilities‚” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “We are committed to ensuring constitutional conditions inside our jails and prisons so that those detained inside these facilities‚ including people with gender dysphoria‚ can live safely and receive needed medical care‚” Clarke said. The ADA has an exclusion for “gender identity disorders not resulting from physical impairments” and “transsexualism‚” but the Georgia trans-identifying incarcerated man is arguing that the exclusion does not apply to him because he has gender dysphoria. The Justice Department agreed‚ saying that gender dysphoria causes “significant distress” and that “importantly‚ not all transgender people experience gender dysphoria.” “Gender dysphoria does not fall within the GID Exclusion in the ADA‚” the Justice Department wrote. “In addition‚ the Eighth Amendment prohibits refusing medically necessary gender-affirming surgery to the entire category of incarcerated individuals with gender dysphoria‚ no matter an individual’s particular circumstances.” The trans-identifying man in the case is housed in solitary confinement at a men’s prison near Atlanta‚ Phillips State Prison‚ according to the Justice Department’s filing.

The trans-identifying man began living as a woman in 1988 and wants to be transferred to a women’s prison‚ the department said in its statement of interest. Previously‚ he had access in prison to bras‚ but not make-up and wigs‚ the document says. A number of trans-identifying men have ended up in women’s prisons‚ including some convicted of violent crimes. In June‚ an infamous triple murderer who claims he is a woman‚ Dana Rivers‚ landed in a California state women’s prison. He was convicted of the triple murder of a lesbian couple and their 19-year-old son.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) got a virtual earful in response to her latest demand for “reparations‚” in which she claimed that black Americans were “OWED” restitution for the damages wrought by slavery‚ Jim Crow laws‚ and other policies. Bush took to X to outline her grievances and announce that she had put forth a resolution designed to address them. “Our country owes – OWES – a debt to the descendants of enslaved Black people‚ not just for slavery‚ but for what followed‚ like Black Codes‚ red lining‚ Jim Crow‚ and mass incarceration‚” she posted. “That’s why I introduced my Reparations NOW resolution. This country has an obligation.” Our country owes–OWES–a debt to the descendants of enslaved Black people‚ not just for slavery‚ but for what followed‚ like Black Codes‚ red lining‚ Jim Crow‚ and mass incarceration. That’s why I introduced my Reparations NOW resolution. This country has an obligation. — Cori Bush (@CoriBush) January 8‚ 2024 Critics questioned Bush’s knowledge and understanding of history‚ noting that every one of the policies she had taken issue with had been authored‚ supported‚ and even championed by her own party: Democrats. “All Democrat policies‚” radio host Dana Loesch pointed out‚ adding‚ “I’m totally for your party making amends for what it did — including to Indigenous Americans when they sent them on the Democrat Genocide Trail.” All Democrat policies.

They paid with their lives to end slavery. If reparations were due it would be directly to the slaves AND to the families of Union soldiers killed— out of the pockets of Confederate slave owners‚ not from US citizens 160 years later. Many of those asked to pay today have already paid for slavery with the lives of their ancestors.” “This discussion is both absurd and insulting to US history‚” Medvin continued. “Note to Conservatives— Do not allow the talk of reparations to go on without demanding reparations for families of Union soldiers. The left wants to play. Go play.” 360‚000 Union soldiers died in the Civil War. They paid with their lives to end slavery.
