What It’s Like to Be Transgender in Trump’s America How the federal government has restricted health care access for transgender Americans, and how those shifts in policy and rhetoric are changing life for one Alabama family.

I joined @tradeoffs.org to talk about what transgender Americans are facing right now: an onslaught of harmful policies from the federal government & a growing atmosphere of fear. Listen here, or check out the transcript:

This was the culmination of a 10-year process, beginning in 2013 when Mason asked to be considered for the new transgender medical policy, after a lawsuit created a pathway to medical transition. 3/4

Mason had been approved by the FBOP for gender-affirming surgery since 2022. He was transferred from FCI Danbury, a male facility, and after living there for two years, he was transported to FMC Fort Worth, where he was to undergo gender affirming surgery. 2/4

Marius Mason currently has a little over a year and a half to go on a near 22 year sentence.

This year Marius, a Green Scare prisoner and trans advocate, was moved back to the women’s unit at Danbury, CT after Trump’s horrific executive order banning federal funds for gender confirming care. 1/4

Q: "Why are culture and art important while the world is burning?"
A: "The world has been burning since 1492. Art and culture have been crucial for creating a sense of belonging, spreading radical ideas, resisting empire, imagining new worlds, building community, and helping you find your murder."

It remains to be seen whether that means they will get scheduled surgeries, and it remains to be seen whether the current administration cares about compliance with judicial orders, but it is overall good news to celebrate.

ICYMI: An injunction was granted last week in a trans prisoner case the D.C. case by Judge Royce Lamberth.

This ought to constrain BOP, and preserve the status quo, meaning that all trans prisoners, including Marius, remain where they are and continue to receive healthcare that they were getting.

Show Marius some love and solidarity by sending him a letter here:

Everything You Need to Know About Trump's Executive Order Attempting to Erase Trans Americans The president signed the sweeping order within hours of taking office, signaling that curtailing the rights of trans people is a top priority for his administration.

Trump's first-day anti-trans order seeks to deny gender-affirming medical care to trans prisoners, among other attacks, in violation of the 8th and 14th Amendments.

We're preparing to defend the rights of Marius and other prisoners threatened by this bigotry.

Though no one was physically harmed in these actions, at sentencing the judge applied a so-called “terrorism enhancement,” adding almost two years to an already extreme sentence requested by the prosecution. This is the harshest punishment of anyone convicted of environmental sabotage to date.

After being threatened with a life sentence in 2009 for these acts of sabotage, he plead guilty to arson charges at a Michigan State University lab researching genetically modified organisms for Monsanto. 12 other acts of property damage were included in his plea deal.
