A transgender inmate has filed the first lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging an executive order halting medical transition treatments for federal prisoners.
A transgender inmate receiving taxpayer-funded medical treatments has launched the first lawsuit against the Trump administration and the Federal Bureau of Prisons challenging President Donald Trump's executive order that puts an end to medical transgender treatments for federal prisoners.
In the past year, multiple lawsuits have been filed over the denial of gender transition treatments for incarcerated individuals. Autumn Cordellioné, a transgender woman serving 55 years in Indiana for the murder of their 11-month-old stepdaughter, sued the state for refusing to conduct transgender surgery. In April 2024, the Biden administration’s Department of Justice sued Utah’s Department of Corrections, alleging it created unnecessary barriers to gender dysphoria treatment for inmates.
In September 2024, Reiyn Keohane, a transgender woman imprisoned in Florida, filed suit against the state’s Department of Corrections. Keohane alleged officials violated the Eighth Amendment for discontinuing hormone therapy and access to female clothing and grooming products, despite Keohane's prior diagnosis and treatment for gender dysphoria. Fox News Digital has reached out to Moe's attorneys, the White House and BOP.
