A federal judge appointed by Ronald Reagan just blocked President Trump’s executive order ending taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners. The ruling forces American taxpayers to keep paying for hormone treatments and surgeries for criminals claiming gender confusion. This decision shows how activist judges continue undermining common-sense policies protecting public funds and prison safety.
Three transgender inmates sued to keep getting special accommodations like women’s clothing and hair removal tools in men’s prisons. Judge Royce Lamberth claimed Trump’s order didn’t explain why these procedures should be treated differently than other healthcare. This ignores the obvious reality that chopping off healthy body parts isn’t medicine – it’s political correctness run amok in our justice system.
Legal expert Jonathan Turley warns the Trump administration has strong arguments but must avoid overreach. While fighting back against nationwide injunctions imposed by rogue judges, the White House must respect legitimate court authority. Turley highlights how liberal judges regularly abuse their power to block conservative policies through sweeping orders that defy constitutional limits.
The administration rightly argues these surgeries have nothing to do with basic medical care. Prison hospitals exist to treat illnesses, not fund left-wing social experiments. Forcing taxpayers to fund irreversible body mutilation for convicts sets a dangerous precedent for government healthcare mandates.
This ruling exposes the deep state’s grip on federal courts. Even a Reagan appointee now sides with activists pushing radical gender ideology. It’s tragic when lifetime appointees prioritize criminals’ delusions over public safety and fiscal responsibility. Male prisoners demanding women’s privileges create security risks for guards and other inmates.
President Trump promised to stop wasting resources on prison sex changes. Ordinary Americans struggling with medical bills can’t get free care, but convicted felons get premium treatments? This double standard stinks of liberal elitism punishing hardworking citizens to coddle lawbreakers.
Turley correctly notes the Supreme Court should rein in district judges issuing nationwide injunctions. These overreaching rulings let single liberal judges in San Francisco dictate policy for all Americans. The Founding Fathers never intended this judicial tyranny thwarting elected leaders.
Conservatives must keep fighting to protect taxpayers from funding this madness. Real healthcare helps the sick – not subsidizing dangerous procedures to advance gender cultism. The Trump administration should appeal this disastrous ruling and take the fight to the Supreme Court where common sense still has a chance.
