The Justice Department has voiced support for a transgender prisoner in Georgia who is suing state prison officials over deprivation of medical care. Imprisoned since 2012, Ashley Diamond has been ordered to strip with male prisoners, has been raped at least seven times, held in solitary confinement for “pretending to be a woman,” and deprived of hormone treatments. In a statement of support, the Justice Department said Diamond has “received a constitutionally inadequate level of medical care for her gender dysphoria.” The news comes just days after a federal judge ordered prison officials in California to allow a transgender prisoner to undergo sex reassignment surgery.
