**Excerpt:**
*”In a landmark victory for transgender rights, a federal judge has struck down former President Donald Trump’s executive order denying gender-affirming medical care to incarcerated individuals. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled on June 3, 2025, that the policy—which blocked treatments like hormone therapy and forced transgender women into men’s prisons—lacked justification and endangered inmates’ well-being. The decision directly impacts over 600 transgender prisoners and sets a legal precedent amid a nationwide battle over transgender rights. Advocates hail the ruling as a crucial step toward dignity and safety for a vulnerable population, while the Trump administration may still appeal. As courts increasingly align with medical consensus, this case could shape the future of prison healthcare and civil rights.”*
This excerpt captures the key points—the ruling, its significance, and the broader context—while maintaining clarity and impact. Let me know if you’d like any refinements!
