Utah Prison Discriminated Against Transgender Woman, DOJ Finds

E-mail Print PDF
Utah Dept. of CorrectionsThe Utah Department of Corrections came under fire Tuesday for discriminating against a transgender woman who the U.S. Department of Justice said was driven to harm herself after she was repeatedly denied hormone therapy in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

A federal investigation found that the state corrections department imposed “unnecessary barriers” to block the incarcerated trans woman from receiving treatment for intense gender dysphoria. The woman’s psychological distress, which doctors attributed to a mismatch between her birth sex and her gender identity, worsened significantly while she was incarcerated in a men’s prison, according to the Justice Department report.After nearly two years of fighting for access to hormones and other gender-affirming accommodations, she performed a dangerous self-surgery to cut off her own testicles.

TVNL Comment: Why should it take such a horror story to accept all people as humans with equal rights?
