Justice Department Committed to Providing Gender-Affirming Care in Prisons under the ADA

The Biden administration has made it clear that there are no spaces for women. Not locker rooms or sports teams or rape crisis centers. One of the concerns of “transphobes” like J.

K. Rowling is the housing of biological men in women’s prisons. A man can commit a crime, claim during the trial that he identifies as a woman, and be sentenced to a women’s facility.

We have no idea why the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department decided to release this statement today, but they did. They’re saying that gender dysphoria is covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act and they’re committed to providing “needed medical care” to incarcerated trans women. Justice Department Files Statement of Interest in Lawsuit Concerning Treatment for Gender Dysphoria in Correctional Settings OK, now we know why they posted this today; the Justice Department in a lawsuit in Georgia: Doe, an incarcerated transgender woman, alleges that the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) has violated her rights under the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act and the U.

S. Constitution by denying necessary medical care to treat her gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is a serious medical condition that arises when a person experiences significant distress or impairment because of an incongruence between their gender identity and assigned sex.

Left untreated, individuals with gender dysphoria can experience significant adverse mental health outcomes. Doe alleges that the GDC has denied her adequate medical treatment for her gender dysphoria, including gender-affirming surgery that has been recommended by four clinicians and consistent hormone therapy. Because of the inadequate care and exacerbation of her gender dysphoria, Doe has engaged in repeated self-harm, including attempts at suicide and self-castration.

Doe seeks a preliminary injunction that would grant her access to medically necessary treatment for her gender dysphoria. “The protections of the U. S.

Constitution and the Americans with Disabilities Act do not stop at the doorsteps of our jails and prisons,” said U. S. Attorney Ryan K.

Buchanan for the Northern District of Georgia. “Our office remains committed to ensuring that all people with disabilities, including those with gender dysphoria, continue to receive access to such medically necessary treatments, even while they are in custody. ” So the statement of interest argues that gender dysphoria can be a covered disability under the ADA.

Seriously? We’re not lawyers (well, Aaron Walker is), but we don’t see how gender dysphoria is a “disability. ” And they want the prison system to provide this criminal with “gender-affirming surgery. ” Man, I wish Norm MacDonald was alive to reply to this There is no “constitutional right” to force others to adopt your delusional self perception.

Oh, it’s a disability? I feel very bad for the queering impaired. So it’s a disability now? Interesting So now trans people, who claim they’re the target of genocide, have even more special protections under the law. Tell the cops you identify as a woman when they cite you for parking in a handicapped spot.

If it’s a disability, that should bar them from military service, right? Can’t have it both ways… I don’t think they’ll like that since they tell everybody they’re normal. You know you’re clowns right They can seek their nonsense after they have served their time. End of story See? Once again two different arguments.

Which is it? They are really women or they are mentally ill? Every single argument or position libs take they take one that directly contradicts it somewhere else. So it’s not a mental illness until it’s convenient to be a mental illness? Hey, you may not want to hear this but, the only adults at the table already know it’s nothing more than mental illness. So Kristen Clarke is perfectly ok with real women getting raped in prisons by mentally-ill men who pretend to be women.

Got it. Last March, at a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing, Attorney General Merrick Garland when Sen. Lindsey Graham told him that 1,200 federal prisoners were petitioning to be transferred to women’s prisons.

“Are you concerned that if a biological male was sent to a female prison, that could be a risk to female prisoners,” Graham asked. Garland: “I think every, uh, uh, person in prison has to be dealt with, uh, with dignity and respect. ” Except women.

So you are finally admitting that gender dysphoria is a mental disorder. Dysphoria is a psychiatric medical condition. They should receive mental health services.

Forcing others to play into their delusion only furthers their psychosis. You are harming them, not helping. Under the ADA, only reasonable accommodations are required.

This lawsuit extends beyond reasonable and necessary care, claiming a violation for refusing to provide an elective surgery. Elective surgeries are not required to be provided under the ADA. But they said in their statement it was “needed medical care.

” You are not serious people Ludicrous position. In no way does the ADA require “We the People” to be obligated for transgender treatment. They’re seriously arguing that sex change operations on prisoners are covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
