- 摘要
- 一名美国法官以该限制措施很可能非法为由予以叫停
- 该政策是特朗普打击跨性别权利行动的一部分
9月28日（路透社）——周一，唐纳德·特朗普政府向美国最高法院提出申请，要求允许其执行一项限制联邦监狱跨性别囚犯获得性别确认护理的政策，这是特朗普打击跨性别群体权利行动的一部分。
美国司法部提交了一份紧急请求，要求最高法院推翻总部位于华盛顿特区的美国地区法官罗伊斯·兰伯思的禁令。该禁令阻止联邦监狱管理局执行这项政策，目前针对该措施的法律诉讼仍在进行中。

这项于2月发布的政策，禁止提供医疗和手术治疗，以及任何“社会适应措施”，包括可用于改变个人外貌以符合其性别认同的物品。该政策仍将允许提供精神科服务。
新的限制措施将推翻此前的程序——此前程序允许患有性别烦躁症的囚犯在临床有指征的情况下接受性别确认治疗。
性别烦躁症是指因个人性别认同与出生时的性别不一致而导致的显著痛苦的临床诊断术语。

特朗普自2025年1月连任以来，在跨性别权利问题上持强硬立场。
他在连任首日发布的行政令中仅承认男性和女性两种性别，并将跨性别身份定性为虚假表述。该指令要求多个联邦机构进行调整，包括要求联邦监狱管理局修改政策并停止为性别确认治疗提供资金。
拥有6票保守派多数席位的最高法院自去年以来多次作出不利于跨性别权利的裁决。
它支持州级法律，禁止跨性别运动员在包括大学在内的公立学校参加女子体育赛事。它还允许政府禁止跨性别者参军，并阻止护照申请人在证件上标注其性别认同。此外，它还允许各州禁止为跨性别青少年提供性别确认医疗护理。

三名分别被关押在新泽西州、佛罗里达州和明尼苏达州联邦惩教机构的跨性别囚犯提起集体诉讼，对这项限制措施提出挑战。兰伯思于6月叫停了这些限制措施。
该法官认定该政策很可能“武断且反复无常”，违反了一项规范行政机构程序的联邦法律，同时认定联邦监狱管理局无视自身的证据和经验，为了落实特朗普的行政令而“预先设定结论”。
“通过这份意见，法院无意卷入针对跨性别个体的文化战争，”兰伯思写道。
美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院于9月18日拒绝了政府提出的推翻兰伯思裁决的请求。
司法部在其提交的文件中敦促最高法院允许联邦监狱管理局执行其“优先提供心理健康治疗，同时停止存在医学争议且未经证实的性别转换干预措施”的决定。
文件称，联邦监狱管理局“在认定此类干预措施并非医疗必需，以及认定安全和监狱管理方面的担忧独立证明政策调整具有合理性时，合理考量了其过往经验”。

- Summary
- A US judge blocked the restrictions as likely unlawful
- Policy is part of Trump crackdown on transgender rights
Sept 28 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration asked the US Supreme Court on Monday to let it enforce a policy restricting gender-affirming care for transgender inmates in federal prisons, part of his crackdown on the rights of transgender people.
The Justice Department filed an emergency request asking the court to lift Washington, D.C.-based US District Judge Royce Lamberth’s order blocking the Federal Bureau of Prisons from enforcing the policy, while a legal challenge to the measure plays out.

The policy, issued in February, prohibits medical and surgical treatments as well as any “social accommodations” including items that could be used to alter a person’s appearance to align with their gender identity. The policy would still allow for psychiatric services to be provided.
The new restrictions would reverse prior procedures, which allowed inmates with gender dysphoria to receive gender-affirming treatments when clinically indicated.
Gender dysphoria is a term for the clinical diagnosis of significant distress that can result from an incongruence between a person’s gender identity and sex at birth.

Trump has taken a hard line on transgender rights since returning to office in January 2025.
He issued an executive order on his first day back in office recognizing only two genders — male and female — and casting transgender identity as a lie. The directive ordered changes across numerous federal agencies, including requiring the Bureau of Prisons to revise its policies and halt funding for gender-affirming treatments.
The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has ruled repeatedly against transgender rights since last year.
It has backed state laws banning transgender athletes from participating on female sports teams at public schools including universities. It also has allowed the administration to ban transgender people from the military and bar passport applicants from designating their gender identities for the document. And it let states ban gender-affirming medical care for transgender youths.

Three transgender inmates incarcerated at federal correctional institutions in New Jersey, Florida and Minnesota filed a class action lawsuit challenging the restrictions. Lamberth blocked those restrictions in June.
The judge deemed the policy likely “arbitrary and capricious” in violation of a federal law governing agency procedures, finding that the Bureau of Prisons disregarded its own evidence and experience and “reverse engineered” the measure in order to implement Trump’s executive order.
“With this opinion, the court has no intention of wading into the culture war being waged against transgender individuals,” Lamberth wrote.
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit refused the administration’s request to lift Lamberth’s ruling on September 18.
The Justice Department in its filing urged the Supreme Court to allow the Bureau of Prisons to enforce its “decision to prioritize mental-health treatment, while discontinuing medically disputed and unproven sex-rejecting interventions.”

The Bureau of Prisons, the filing said, “reasonably considered its prior experience both in determining that such interventions are not medically necessary and in determining that security and prison-administration concerns independently justified a change in policy.”
