Prison Housing by Biological Sex and Restriction of Gender-Related Medical Treatment.

This bill introduces strict new rules for housing and transporting prisoners in federal facilities, mandating that inmates be placed only with others of the same biological sex. Furthermore, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is prohibited from furnishing or paying for any gender-related medical treatment (gender-affirming care). These changes directly impact the rights and living conditions of inmates, particularly transgender individuals, by restricting access to specific medical procedures and enforcing segregation based solely on biological sex.
Key points
Inmate Housing and Transport: Requires prisoners to be housed and transported only with individuals of the same biological sex (male with male, female with female).
Restriction on Medical Care: The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is barred from funding or providing any gender-related medical treatment (e.g., surgeries, hormone therapy, puberty blockers), except for treatments addressing disorders of sex development or complications from prior treatments.
Definition of Biological Sex: The Act precisely defines biological sex (male/female) based on the reproductive system, explicitly excluding concepts like gender identity or gender expression from the definition.
