Removing transgender women from estradiol can cause them to have a stroke and probably die.

Not only does this violate Hicklin v Precythe it also violates Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97 (1976) which is a US Supreme Court case.

Of course it violates Estelle v. Gamble, but I mean, these are the same people that actively campaign against capital punishment.

They like it when prisoners suffer. Trans prisoners are just their test case for that.

This is a death sentence for post-op trans women. Not hypothetical, not imaginary; they will die. A post-op trans woman without estradiol is considered to be in a life-threatening medical emergency, period. It doesn't matter what courts rule; ultimately, SCOTUS will gleefully allow it. They have now proceeded to begin killing us. Prisoners are just the start.

I’m getting tired of this very specific type of people who have been emboldened by our presidents moves doing this to just bulldoze past laws that district them doing crap like this, and just doing it anyway. But because their politicians they get zero punishment for willingly going against federal law for example.

This isn’t normal at all and it’s becoming all too common for them to keep doing this and it’s spreading like a plague ugh.

This also sounds like it wouldn’t be constitutional either under the cruel and unusual punishment bit, They mention they committed a crime so their in prison however this includes people wrongfully convicted, people there for nonviolent crimes, etc. and just because they committed a crime doesn’t mean they don’t deserve healthcare the way anyone else did, they already barely get any proper healthcare to begin with despite their being laws requiring them to get bare minimums many are barely getting said bare minimums whether it be cancer preventions, heart issue, etc. Hell basic toiletries and menstrual products are extremely limited as is and the people who manage these supplies in the prisons from what little their states provide them end up having to pick and choose, ration, etc. a ton of these as best as they can, choose between who gets said products and who doesn’t, it’s terrible.

Also his excuse sounds a lot like people who purposefully misgender trans people the moment they do something they don’t like as if that’s any good reason or excuse to just suddenly start being transphobic, many of which claim in the same breath to be allies, only when you fit into their standards of conduct though, otherwise they’ll stop ‘respecting’ your identity, pronouns, and very existence. But now he’s spread it to prisons ugh.
