Trump Justice Department obscures trans victims of prison sexual abuse while singling out trans perpetrators

The Trump administration has once again all but erased trans**gender people from reports about sexual violence in prisons and jails across the country — except to report data about trans people as perpetrators of violence. The same reports mention transgender victims behind labels such as “other.”

The two Bureau of Justice Statistics reports, based on the results of the anonymous National Inmate Survey conducted in 2023 and 2024, that were released last week, glaringly obscure data about trans people as victims of violence behind bars.

Also please inform yourself about the systemic practice of using trans inmates as rape targets to reduce aggression in violent cis male prisoners.
