Shelter operators could use physical characteristics to force trans women to be housed with men under a new proposed rule.
Under a proposed rule announced by Ben Carson, federally funded shelters could turn away trans people or force them into unsafe situations.
The HUD secretary in September voiced concern over "big, hairy men" entering women's shelters.
Housing and Urban Development employees said they were appalled by the secretary's remark about "big, hairy men" in women's shelters.
A new rule proposed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development would gut antidiscrimination protections.
He told Congress the discrimination won't happen anyway.
It's not the first time the current HUD Secretary painted trans people as scary.
There are very real repercussions when departments like Housing and Urban Development drop their commitment to fair policies.
The Housing and Urban Development department -- headed by homophobe Ben Carson -- removed key points of its misson statement.
"The president-elect is hiding his business interests from you, from me, from the rest of the country," Sen. Elizabeth Warren told the neurosurgeon turned nominee for Housing and Urban Development.
Carson used the questionable phrase when asked about enforcing rights as secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
The neurosurgeon who claimed he would not be taking a position in the Trump administration because he lacks experience has been nominated for a top role.
The former neurosurgeon, who dropped out of the race last week, endorses Donald Trump for president.
Carson will make the announcement Friday, The Washington Post reports.
Having ended his presidential campaign, Carson will chair My Faith Votes, a group dedicated to motivating people with a 'biblical worldview' to vote.
Not exactly, but the former neurosurgeon indicated that’s what he plans to do Friday at an annual conference of anti-LGBT groups.
Trump has been declared a winner in seven states, Ted Cruz in three, and Marco Rubio in one.
The business tycoon was widely predicted to win the state.
Most of the candidates said the next president, not Obama, should appoint Antonin Scalia's successor. They also had some notable fights among themselves.
