Several trans women incarcerated in federal women's facilities have been moved into isolation and notified they will be transferred to men's facilities following President Donald Trump's executive order declaring there are only 'two sexes, male and female.'
Several trans women incarcerated in federal women’s facilities have been moved into isolation and notified they will be transferred to men’s facilities, advocates told HuffPost.
