Trans inmate's lawsuit challenges Trump 'two-sexes' order cutting off tax money for gender therapy
Fox News
A transgender inmate has filed the first lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging an executive order halting medical transition treatments for federal prisoners.
The unnamed inmate, who goes by "Maria Moe" in court documents and is represented by GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders and National Center for Lesbian Rights and Lowenstein Sandler LLP, has been on medical hormones since they were a teenager and has not been housed in a men's facility since their conviction. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
Once Trump signed the executive order, Moe was transferred to a men's prison facility, and BOP records changed the sex from "female" to "male," the complaint says.
