HUD secretary directs agency to ban transgender women from federally funded women-only shelters
Fox News
Eric Turner, Trump's recently confirmed HUD Secretary, said he is directing his agency to begin ensuring biological males are not housed in federally funded shelters for women.
Turner said that the move was part of President Donald Trump's agenda to "restore biological truth to the federal government."
"We want to protect the ladies entering any HUD facilities," Turner told reporters Thursday, adding that he wants to "restore equal rights, but no extra rights." The Secretary added that most of the females who utilize HUD shelters already come from domestic violence situations, and he wants to ensure that their tragedies are not exacerbated when they turn to the federal government for help.
