After being refused access to hormone treatment, an American prisoner who wanted gender affirming care castrated herself in a Utah jail.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing the state of Utah and its department of corrections for violating the Disabilities Act.
The unidentified prisoner, who was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in June 2022 by a doctor contracted by the Utah Department of Corrections, had been requesting access to hormones, female housing, women’s underwear, and makeup for the past two years.
