Supreme court blocks Trump’s bid to restrict gender care for trans prisoners

Decision stands in contrast to recent trans rights actions from court that often sides with Trump administration

The US supreme court went against Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday, refusing to allow the immediate enforcement of sweeping restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender individuals held in prisons and federal facilities.

The decision marks an unusual victory for transgender rights before the nation's highest court, which has largely sided with the administration and other opponents of transgender rights in several major cases.
