Fox News
A Minnesota transgender inmate is suing the state's Department of Corrections after it allegedly refused sex change surgery and kept a transgender woman in a men-only prison.
The St. Paul-based advocacy group Gender Justice filed the suit on Lusk's behalf, naming the DOC, as well as Commissioner Paul Schnell, Deputy Commissioner Michelle Smith and Medical Director James Amsterdam. Schnell, Smith, and Amsterdam serve on the DOC's transgender committee, which hears requests from transgender prisoners in the state who want to transfer facilities.
The suit seeks no less than $50,000 in financial compensation and seeks a "permanent mandatory injunction" requiring that Lusk, who is legally recognized as female, be treated as a woman and removed from the men-only correctional facility at Moose Lake.
