Yes, transitions / gender affirming care whatever should be barred from individuals in certain scenarios.

Honestly, I disagree- I think they should make transitions mandatory for prisoners who identify as trans. You really say you're transgender? Fine, we'll put you on HRT and plan for full top and bottom surgery while you're incarcerated.

For the people who have consistently identified as trans, this is incredibly kind and would give them something that is hard for most trans people to get to help them live their best life upon release, and in the process hopefully prevent recidivism. For the people who are lying, it becomes "Fine. Money where your mouth is. We're going to help you have a full transition including top and bottom surgery, so we will be cutting your dick off. That's what you wanted, right? You're not just lying to get in a women's prison and have an anime harem instead of punishment, RIGHT?"

It's a good joke, but really I didn't mean just this from my comment. Women during pregnancies shouldn't get transitions as well.

Oh, I wasn't joking. I do think that prisons giving transitions to transgender criminals asking to be placed in the prison matching their gender is necessary, both to help their rehabilitation and separate the wheat from the chaff.
