## Summary

**Require federal prisons to house and transport inmates by biological sex and bar a wide set of gender‑related medical treatments.** The bill would add rules to Title 18 that define "biological sex," narrow the meaning of "gender," and list specific surgeries and drugs labeled as gender‑related medical treatment. - Prisoners: Individuals would be placed and transported only with others of the same biological sex as defined in the bill. They could not receive gender‑related medical treatments paid for or provided by the Bureau of Prisons. - Bureau of Prisons operations: The Bureau would have to follow the new sex‑based housing and transport rules and apply the bill's detailed definitions when making placement and care decisions. - Medical care in custody: The bill lists many prohibited procedures and drugs for males and females, including specific surgeries, hormones, and puberty blockers. It also carves out narrow exceptions for diagnosed disorders of sex development and certain medical conditions tied to prior treatments.
