A federal appellate court ruled last week that Oregon may house trans women inmates in men’s prisons, overturning a lower court’s ruling earlier this year.
The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals consisted exclusively of Donald Trump appointees. They voted unanimously to overturn an April ruling from U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark D. Clarke ordering the Oregon Department of Corrections to assume that trans women prisoners should be housed in women’s prisons, and then assess individual cases to confirm that placement, not the other way around.
The US is straight up in the middle of a trans genocide and most cis people hardly seem to be bothered by it. They want us dead and will stop at nothing to accomplish that. They won’t stop with us either.
I fled the US in 2025 because of the threat it posed to me as a trans latina immigrant. I cannot count the number of people who told me I was overreacting.
