The state has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 2004, but it is controlled by Republican lawmakers in both chambers who have made anti-trans discrimination a priority. Three bills await the governor. Brought to you by @likethediner.bsky.social

BREAKING: Federal judge orders that hormone therapy and social accommodations be maintained for transgender people in federal prisons, blocking Trump admin policies. Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, granted class certification and prelim. injunction in a lawsuit challenging the policies.
For the reasons contained herein, the Court concludes first that the plaintiffs' action is not barred by the administrative exhaustion requirements of the Prison Litigation Reform Act
("PLRA"); second, that the plaintiffs have demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success on their
APA claims, and that the Court accordingly need not assess the plaintiffs' constitutional claims based on the limited record now available; third, that the plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood
of irreparable harm absent a grant of preliminary injunctive relief, and that the balance of the
equities favors granting such relief; fourth, that the plaintiffs' proposed class meets the requirements for certification under Rule 23(a) and Rule 23(b)(2); and fifth, that the President shall not be dismissed from the case as a defendant at this juncture given the potential availability of
declaratory relief. In accord with these legal conclusions, the Court will ORDER that the
plaintiffs' proposed class, with slight modification from the Court explained below, be certified
7
Case 1:25-cv-00691-RCL Document 67 Filed 06/03/25 Page 8 of 36
and that class counsel be appointed. The Court will further ORDER the BOP to make social
accommodations available to all class members to the same extent they were available prior to the
issuance of the Executive Order, and to provide hormone therapy to all class members who have
been prescribed hormone medications by BOP or other medical personnel to the same extent as
before the issuance of the Executive Order.
