Justice Department sues Utah after transgender inmate removed her own testicles
 [NYPOST] The Justice Department filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the state of Utah and its prison system after a transgender inmate "removed her own testicles" in response to "unnecessarily delayed" treatment for her gender dysphoria. The lawsuit alleges that the incarcerated transgender woman— unnamed in the complaint — was discriminated against by the Utah Department of Corrections following "multiple requests to UDOC staff for treatment for gender dysphoria, including multiple requests for hormone therapy" upon entering the state prison system in 2021. The inmate was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in June 2022, nine months after she first requested hormone therapy, and the hormones were not provided to her until January 2023, according to the complaint.
