The Prison Rape Prevention Act of 2025 would require the federal Bureau of Prisons to house and transport incarcerated people only with others of the same biological sex, and would prohibit the Bureau from providing or paying for gender-affirming medical treatments. The bill defines "biological sex" based on reproductive system characteristics and specifies numerous surgical procedures, hormone treatments, and puberty blockers as prohibited "gender-related medical treatments," though it carves out exceptions for treating certain disorders of sex development or intersex conditions. The legislation affects all individuals in the federal prison system and would apply immediately upon enactment, with no specific funding authorization included. The bill was introduced in February 2025 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee but includes no timeline for implementation or transition provisions.
