周一，以允许其在联邦监狱中拒绝为跨性别囚犯提供性别肯定护理，而针对此事的诉讼仍在下级法院继续进行。
on Monday, to allow it to deny gender-affirming care to transgender inmates in federal prisons, while litigation over the matter continues in lower courts.
在向最高法院提交的最新紧急请求中，司法部长 D·约翰·索尔写道，某些护理措施，包括性征修饰手术、激素治疗和社会适应措施——如内衣、化妆品、填充物和假发——“不再能被证明是治疗性别焦虑的合理手段”。
In its latest emergency request to the high court, solicitor general D John Sauer wrote that certain care, including sex-trait-modification surgeries, hormone therapy and social accommodations– such as undergarments, makeup, padding and wigs – “could no longer be justified as treatment for gender dysphoria”.
索尔请求大法官们介入一场法律纠纷，该纠纷涉及美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于2025年1月签署的一项行政命令，该命令指示联邦监狱局“确保不拨付任何联邦资金用于任何旨在使囚犯外貌符合异性特征的医疗程序、治疗或药物”。
Sauer asked that justices intervene in a legal dispute over US president Donald Trump’s executive order from January 2025 that directed the Bureau of Prisons to “ensure that no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex”.
该命令禁止跨性别囚犯接受某些性别过渡医疗护理，并下令将跨性别女性囚犯关押在男性设施中。
The order prohibited trans inmates from receiving certain gender transition medical care and ordered trans women inmates to be housed in men’s facilities.
跨性别囚犯就该政策起诉政府，迄今为止，两家下级法院已阻止官员执行该命令，因为针对该行政命令的大规模诉讼仍在继续。
Trans inmates sued the administration over the policy and, so far, two lower courts have blocked officials from implementing the order as the larger lawsuit over the executive order continues.
在第二个任期内，特朗普一直试图通过撤销拜登时代的政策来限制跨性别者权利，这些政策曾允许跨性别女性和女孩参加符合其性别认同的运动队，允许跨性别现役军人服役，以及允许跨性别未成年人接受性别肯定护理。
In his second term, Trump has sought to restrict trans rights by rescinding Biden-era policies that allowed trans women and girls to participate on athletic teams that align with their gender identity, trans service members to serve in the military and trans minors to receive gender-affirming care.
政府高度依赖保守派占多数的最高法院协助其实施反跨性别政策，通常以紧急请求的形式提出。
The administration has leaned heavily on the conservative-majority supreme court to assist it in implementing anti-trans policies, often in the form of emergency requests.
在周一的请求中，索尔辩称，政府因不被允许拒绝为跨性别囚犯提供性别肯定护理而遭受损害，因为“监狱管理人员已认定这对于维持机构安全是必要的”。
In Monday’s request, Sauer argued the government had suffered harm by not being permitted to deny gender-affirming care to trans inmates because “prison administrators have determined is necessary to maintain institutional security”.
他引用了联邦监狱局的结论，该结论认为提供更多性别确认护理机会“引发公平担忧”并“在其他囚犯中滋生怨恨”，以及其他担忧。大法官们要求跨性别囚犯的律师在10月8日前回应政府的请求。
He cites conclusions from the Bureau of Prisons that found providing greater gender-affirming care access “raise fairness concerns” and “breed resentment among other inmates”, among other concerns. Justices are asking lawyers for the trans prisoners to respond to the government’s request by 8 October.
迄今为止，法院对政府的政策表示同情。它允许国务院移除非二元性别或跨性别美国人护照上的首选性别标记，并允许国防部强制执行禁止跨性别者服役的禁令。
So far, the court has been sympathetic toward the administration’s policies. It’s allowed the state department to remove preferred gender markers on passports for nonbinary or trans Americans and the Department of Defense to enforce a ban on trans service members.
上一任期，大法官们还维持了州一级禁止为跨性别未成年人提供性别确认护理的禁令，以及禁止跨性别女性和女孩运动员参加体育比赛的禁令。
Last term, the justices also upheld state-level bans on providing gender-affirming care for trans minors and banning trans women and girls athletes from participating on sports teams.
