The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them “recover.” It’s trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.
We have now reached the Josef Mengele stage of the US government.
Google “Unit 731.” If you have a strong stomach. That’s where we’re headed, and this time there won’t be a war to stop them.
If I have not mistaken, the nazis did experiment with conversion therapy in the camps. Since it didn’t work, they instead killed the trans people in the camps.
just like how gay conversion therapy doesnt work, and they have lots of gay sex in those camps.
just like how gay conversion therapy doesnt work, and they have lots of gay sex in those Republican conventions.
They also kill themselves over the trauma from the camps regularly.
The conversation about wether or not they ARE nazis has concluded so hard that I never want it heard put into question again.
They aren’t Nazis, they are MAGAs, and that is just as bad. It’s probably going to be worse considering MAGA US has a larger military than Nazi Germany did.
When all this is over, calling someone a Nazi will sound quaint and outdated, like a pox on their house. Calling someone a MAGA, now that’ll be a trauma-stained curse.
This is a human rights violation akin to chemical castration
So the US administration has entered its Mengele phase?
3 people out of thousands de transition in an attempt to preserve sanity in the torture house
Transphobes: see, there’s a chance!
I think they see suicide rates and that’s what they’re hoping for with policies like this.
Literal Nazis in all but name.
Mengele vibes ☹️
I had to verify this one for myself… It’s true.
Why not link to the .gov domain though?
“The Bureau will not provide social accommodations, including to inmates diagnosed with GD, and the inmate will not receive social accommodations. If the inmate currently has social accommodations, the Bureau shall no longer provide the social accommodations”
So all bets are off and it is time to ignore the Prison Rape Elimination Act.
What is the advantage? The article explains the context much better than the PDF and contains a link to the document in the first paragraph.
If I see a link to a copy of the document, it makes me doubt the validity of the information. If I don’t have the time or energy to verify it, I’ll just disregard it and move on. But if I see an “original” copy linked, it’s a lot easier for me to trust and verify.
That is a fair point on a personal level, but many people (myself included) appreciate a digested version of an official document and additional context for it provided by a journalistic article. Overall there is no reason to disbelief the detailed information provided in the article and assume that the reporter faked the document, unless someone wants to cast doubt on the unjustifiable treatment of trans people by the Trump government.
They’re saying the link at the start of the article should have just been the official link. There’s no point in having it downloaded and linked to another website (including it in addition as an archive would make sense though). Downloading it and reuploading it could be entirely fake or modified. So you have to dig around for the original.
Yeah, basically this. Thanks!
