Key points from The Guardian
  • The Trump administration filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court to allow denying gender-affirming care for transgender inmates.

  • The request references an January 2025 executive order directing the Bureau of Prisons to avoid funding gender-transition procedures.
  • Two lower courts have blocked the policy, while litigation continues in broader suit against the executive order.
  • Justices have shown sympathy toward the administration’s policies on related trans issues, with responses due by October 8.
