Justice Dept. Files Brief on Behalf of Trans Woman in Georgia Prison
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a brief today on behalf of a transgender woman being denied medical care and protection from abuse in a Georgia prison. The government “Statement of Interest” argues that the Georgia’s “freeze-frame” policy, limiting transgender prisoners to only receiving medical care that was prescribed prior to their incarceration, is unconstitutional on its face. The brief points to case law from several federal appeals courts that have said that all prisoners and all medical conditions—including transgender people with gender dysphoria—must receive necessary medical care, and such care cannot be limited for non-medical reasons.
