Bill > HR1015

This bill, titled the "Prison Rape Prevention Act of 2025," proposes significant changes to how gender is addressed in federal prison housing, transportation, and medical treatment. Specifically, the bill requires the Bureau of Prisons to house and transport prisoners exclusively with others of the same "biological sex," which is defined narrowly as the reproductive system an individual naturally has or would have had without developmental anomalies. The bill also prohibits prisons from providing or paying for any "gender-related medical treatment" for prisoners, which includes a comprehensive list of surgical procedures, hormone treatments, and puberty blockers aimed at gender transition. The bill explicitly defines "gender" as synonymous with biological sex and excludes concepts like gender identity or gender expression. Medical treatments related to disorders of sex development or addressing specific medical conditions would be exempt from the prohibition. The proposed legislation appears designed to restrict transgender individuals' access to gender-affirming care and segregate prisoners based on their biological sex at birth, potentially impacting the safety and medical needs of transgender inmates in the federal prison system.
