The US DOJ sues Utah's Department of Corrections for allegedly discriminating against a transgender inmate and violating the ADA.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing Utah for allegedly discriminating against a transgender inmate who removed her own testicles after suffering from gender dysphoria. The lawsuit alleges that Utah's Department of Corrections (UDOC) violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by denying her equal access to healthcare and failing to reasonably modify policies, practices, or procedures to avoid discrimination. The inmate had requested hormone therapy, housing changes, and access to female clothing items, all of which were denied by state corrections officials, leading to her self-harming actions.
