美国最高法院拒绝恢复对联邦监狱跨性别囚犯性别肯定医疗的限制。该命令使得该政策在集体诉讼挑战期间继续处于被叫停状态。
The US Supreme Court refused to revive restrictions on gender-affirming healthcare for transgender federal inmates. The order leaves the policy blocked while the class-action challenge proceeds.
美国最高法院周三拒绝让唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府立即强制执行针对联邦监狱跨性别囚犯性别肯定医疗的限制，维持下级法院叫停该政策的禁令，直至法律挑战结束。
The US Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to let President Donald Trump’s administration immediately enforce restrictions on gender-affirming healthcare for transgender inmates in federal prisons, leaving in place a lower court order blocking the policy while a legal challenge continues.
最高法院驳回了司法部寻求推翻禁令的紧急上诉。这一决定标志着政府推翻跨性别者权利的努力遭遇挫折，尽管最高法院在简短的命令中未说明理由。大法官克拉伦斯·托马斯和塞缪尔·阿利托持异议。
The court rejected an emergency appeal by the Justice Department seeking to overturn the injunction. The decision marks a setback for the administration’s efforts to roll back transgender rights, although the Supreme Court did not explain its reasoning in the brief order. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
该政策于2月推出，禁止联邦监狱为性别过渡提供医疗和手术治疗。它还禁止社会适应措施，包括旨在帮助囚犯使外表与其性别认同一致的服装和脱毛设备。精神科服务在限制范围内仍被允许。
The policy, introduced in February, bars federal prisons from providing medical and surgical treatments for gender transition. It also prohibits social accommodations, including clothing and hair-removal devices, intended to help inmates align their appearance with their gender identity. Psychiatric services remain permitted under the restrictions.
三名分别关押在新泽西州、佛罗里达州和明尼苏达州联邦矫正设施的跨性别囚犯通过集体诉讼挑战该政策。
Three transgender inmates held at federal correctional facilities in New Jersey, Florida and Minnesota challenged the policy through a class-action lawsuit.
代表囚犯的美国公民自由联盟律师阿迪蒂·沙阿表示：“这一裁决将在我们继续挑战政府出于政治原因拒绝提供医学上必要的医疗服务这一非法行为期间，防止原告和集体成员遭受严重且不可挽回的伤害。”联邦监狱局拒绝就最高法院的决定置评。
“This ruling will prevent serious and irreparable harm to plaintiffs and the class while we continue to challenge the government's unlawful efforts to deny medically necessary healthcare for political reasons,” said Aditi Shah, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, which is representing the inmates. The Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on the Supreme Court's decision.
下级法院认定该政策极可能违法 6月，华盛顿联邦地区法官罗伊斯·兰伯思叫停了这些限制，认定根据管辖机构程序的联邦法律，该政策极可能属于“武断和反复无常”。
LOWER COURT FOUND POLICY LIKELY UNLAWFUL In June, US District Judge Royce Lamberth in Washington blocked the restrictions, finding that the policy was likely “arbitrary and capricious” under a federal law governing agency procedures.
兰伯斯表示，联邦监狱局无视自身的证据和经验，并“倒推工程”制定政策，以落实特朗普关于跨性别问题的行政命令。“法院无意卷入针对跨性别个体的文化战争，”法官写道。
Lamberth said the Bureau of Prisons had disregarded its own evidence and experience and had “reverse engineered” the policy to implement Trump's executive order on transgender issues. “With this opinion, the court has no intention of wading into the culture war being waged against transgender individuals,” the judge wrote.
哥伦比亚特区联邦巡回上诉法院于9月18日拒绝解除禁令，促使政府向最高法院提出上诉。
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit refused to lift the injunction on September 18, prompting the administration to approach the Supreme Court.
在上诉中，司法部辩称，监狱系统合理地得出结论，认为性别过渡治疗在医学上并非必要，且安全及监狱管理考量独立构成了限制措施的正当理由。
In its appeal, the Justice Department argued that the prison system had reasonably concluded that gender-transition treatments were not medically necessary and that security and prison-administration concerns independently justified the restrictions.
政府将这些治疗描述为“未经证实的拒绝性别干预”，并辩称该政策优先考虑心理健康护理，同时停止有争议的医疗程序。
The administration described the treatments as “unproven sex-rejecting interventions” and argued that the policy prioritised mental-health care while discontinuing disputed medical procedures.
然而，囚犯们警告称，阻断激素治疗可能导致严重伤害，包括抑郁、焦虑、自杀念头和自残行为加剧。
The inmates, however, warned that blocking hormone therapy could cause serious harm, including worsening depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and self-harm.
特朗普政府更广泛的跨性别限制措施 自2025年1月重返白宫以来，特朗普推行了一系列针对跨性别权利的措施。
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S WIDER TRANSGENDER RESTRICTIONS Trump has pursued a series of measures targeting transgender rights since returning to office in January 2025.
上任第一天，他签署了一项行政命令，规定联邦政策仅承认男性和女性两种性别。该指令还要求联邦各机构作出改变，包括限制跨性别女性被安置在女子监狱，以及终止联邦资金用于旨在改变囚犯外貌以符合其性别认同的治疗。
On his first day back, he signed an executive order recognising only male and female sexes under federal policy. The directive also called for changes across federal agencies, including restrictions on the placement of transgender women in women's prisons and an end to federal funding for treatments intended to alter an inmate's appearance to align with their gender identity.
最新的争议涉及联邦监狱系统早先做法的逆转。据挑战该政策的囚犯称，该系统自1992年至少已向被诊断患有性别焦虑症的人员提供激素治疗。
The latest dispute concerns a reversal of the federal prison system's earlier approach. According to the inmates challenging the policy, the system had provided hormone therapy to people diagnosed with gender dysphoria since at least 1992.
性别焦虑是指当一个人的性别认同与其出生时被指定的性别不一致时，可能产生的显著痛苦。
Gender dysphoria refers to significant distress that may arise when a person's gender identity does not align with their sex assigned at birth.
2025年的政府数据显示，有超过2000名跨性别囚犯被关押在联邦惩教设施和中途宿舍。
Government figures from 2025 showed that more than 2,000 transgender inmates were housed in federal correctional facilities and halfway houses.
最高法院支持其他限制措施 这一最新命令是在最高法院作出一系列支持限制跨性别者权利的裁决之后发布的，尽管法院曾介入监狱医疗纠纷。
SUPREME COURT HAS BACKED OTHER RESTRICTIONS The latest order comes after a series of Supreme Court decisions favouring restrictions on transgender rights, despite the court's intervention in the prison healthcare dispute.
保守派占多数的法院支持各州对跨性别运动员参加女子运动队的限制，并允许特朗普政府执行禁止跨性别者服役的禁令。
The conservative-majority court has upheld state restrictions on transgender athletes participating in female sports teams and allowed the Trump administration to enforce a ban on transgender people serving in the military.
法院还允许各州禁止为跨性别未成年人提供性别肯定医疗护理，并允许对护照上的性别身份标识实施限制。
It has also allowed states to prohibit gender-affirming medical treatment for transgender minors and permitted restrictions on gender identity designations on passports.
法院拒绝立即恢复监狱政策，并未解决根本的法律挑战。在诉讼进行期间，这些限制将继续被阻止。
The court's refusal to immediately reinstate the prison policy does not settle the underlying legal challenge. The restrictions will remain blocked while the litigation proceeds.
