A memo from the Trump administration on the allowance of homeless shelters to refuse transgender people has been leaked, and it includes instructions on how to spot transgender women in order to turn them away.
Earlier this month, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced plans to rescind Obama-era regulations that required single-sex homeless shelters funded by the HUD to house transgender homeless people based their gender identity instead of their assigned sex.
Now, with the new rule, homeless shelters will be allowed to make their own admission policies; while trans people can’t be turned away, a trans woman, for example, could be forced into a men’s shelter and vice versa.
