BREAKING🚨🏳️‍🌈 Texas is forcibly DETRANSITIONING more than 1,100 trans prisoners after quietly ending their access to hormone therapy. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice confirmed by phone that Policy G-51.11, the rule that let trans people in its custody receive hormone therapy, had already been dead for "a few weeks." Officials said nothing is replacing it, and that state prison health services are no longer authorized to provide gender-affirming care at all. They declined to give any further details. The policy had just been renewed in July. Then the links started returning 404 errors. G-51.11 disappeared from the Correctional Managed Health Care manual, along with a 2014 revision explanation and two hormone therapy consent forms that had also been updated in July. The code that displayed all four on the site is still there, commented out line by line. The 2026 Disease Management Guidelines, published eleven days ago, made one major change from the 2025 version: the "Gender Dysphoria Hormone Monitoring Guideline" was cut, and the 34 sections after it were renumbered. The drug formulary that mentioned gender dysphoria is gone from the publications list too. Guidance explaining intersex conditions to staff went with it. Texas runs the largest state prison system in the country, roughly 149,000 people. The 1,100-plus trans people held there are about one in five of all trans people in state prisons nationwide. That makes Texas the sixth state to ban this care behind bars, the first to do it without passing legislation, and the first to do it with no warning at all. Bans in Georgia and Idaho are currently blocked by courts. Stopping hormones abruptly can cause hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia and bone loss, leaving people vulnerable to fractures. For those who have had surgery as part of their transition, losing hormones can be far more dangerous. Florida restricted the same care in its prisons, where LaTrisha Ramon's daughter, Sauge Smith, was incarcerated. "First, they made her cut her hair, then they took her bra away," Ramon said. Smith died by suicide in a Florida prison last year. If you appreciate Gay News, it would mean the world if you followed my page. Thank you for being here.
