The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons (transitics.substack.com)

The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.

That is a fair point on a personal level, but many people (myself included) appreciate a digested version of an official document and additional context for it provided by a journalistic article. Overall there is no reason to disbelief the detailed information provided in the article and assume that the reporter faked the document, unless someone wants to cast doubt on the unjustifiable treatment of trans people by the Trump government.

They're saying the link at the start of the article should have just been the official link. There's no point in having it downloaded and linked to another website (including it in addition as an archive would make sense though). Downloading it and reuploading it could be entirely fake or modified. So you have to dig around for the original.
