Justice Department’s new policy saves $1.6 million in taxpayer dollars previously spent on transgender procedures
Ask who never gets charged.
EXCLUSIVE — One of the Trump administration’s latest initiatives is projected to save taxpayers over $1.65 million, which previously would’ve been spent on gender-affirming care for federal prisoners who identify as transgender.
Under the new prison policy, issued on Feb. 19, the U.S. government will no longer pay for the medical modification of transgender-identifying inmates imprisoned in federal facilities.
Wardens were previously required to provide, as well as cover the cost of, hormonal drugs and medically unnecessary procedures to prisoners who sought to physically alter themselves to appear as the opposite sex.
The Biden-era transgender affirmation practices had cost the Federal Bureau of Prisons approximately $1.65 million in taxpayer dollars, according to Justice Department figures shared with the Washington Examiner.
BOP spent around $1.25 million of those funds on hormone-replacement therapy, which included $130,000 worth of testosterone suppressants, estrogen injections, and such to convicts at halfway houses or on home confinement.
Two surgical operations, costing a total of $400,000, were performed in accordance with the past directive following lengthy legal battles over in-prison access to breast implants, facial feminization surgery, and genital augmentation.

In 2022, an infamous white supremacist who identifies as a woman was the first federal prisoner to undergo reconstructive surgery, namely vaginoplasty, the construction of a pseudo-vagina out of inverted penile tissue.
Peter Kevin Langan, now known as “Donna,” is the former ringleader of the Aryan Republican Army, a terrorist neo-Nazi gang suspected of financing the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing by funneling funds stolen from a string of armed bank robberies.
Langan presently is serving a life sentence, post-operation, at a special needs women’s prison in Texas.
The newly issued BOP policy is expected to generate at least $1.6 million in potential savings from surgeries alone, based on estimates from eight existing surgical requests.
As for hormone therapy, related expense reductions will be quantifiable as savings are realized, a DOJ official told the Washington Examiner.
“The new policy will result in almost $2 million not being spent on otherwise harmful treatment that also results in safety concerns at BOP facilities,” the DOJ official said.
