The lawsuit has garnered attention from pro-LGBT civil rights groups and\u200d highlights concerns about the \u2063safety of transgender individuals in\u200c prison systems. Critics of the order reference past incidents where transgender inmates were subjected to violence, while there are also instances \u200dof male inmates identifying as \u2063women committing \u2064assault. The case is currently sealed, and it&#8217;s uncertain when details will be made public again.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Transgender inmate sues over Trump order on biological sex<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<p>A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/transgender\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transgender<\/a>&nbsp;inmate in a federal prison sued over an executive order by President&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>&nbsp;directing inmates to be housed in prisons that correspond to their biological sex.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.mad.280082\/gov.uscourts.mad.280082.1.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">lawsuit<\/a>, filed Sunday in a federal court in Boston by a biologically male inmate who identifies as a woman, targets an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/3292834\/trump-biological-sex-prisons-shelters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">order<\/a> by Trump signed on Jan. 20 that is meant to combat &ldquo;gender ideology extremism&rdquo; by directing the federal government only to recognize two distinct biological sexes.<\/p>\n<p>The inmate is seeking immediate court relief after the Bureau of Prisons relocated the plaintiff to a special housing unit pending transfer to a men&rsquo;s facility, the lawsuit states.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Without the injunctive relief sought, Maria Moe will experience irreparable injury,&rdquo; according to the legal challenge filed by a coalition of pro-LGBT civil rights groups, stating the inmate is at an &ldquo;extremely high risk of harassment, abuse, violence, and sexual assault.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Recognized under the pseudonym Marie Moe in court papers, the prisoner is described as someone who began the transition process in middle school, began taking feminizing hormones at age 15, and has been housed in a facility designated for women ever since the defendant was convicted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit does not mention what the inmate was convicted for but states the inmate was incarcerated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">low-security federal prison<\/a> and has &ldquo;no violent disciplinary history,&rdquo; presents &ldquo;no threat&rdquo; to female peers, and has not been accused of &ldquo;disruption or interference with prison operations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being housed in a different prison complex, lawyers for Maria Moe say the BOP was poised to cut off access to the inmate&rsquo;s long-standing hormone treatment for gender dysphoria.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of Trump&rsquo;s move have pointed to examples of inmates who identify as women who have suffered injury and sexual assault by other male inmates.
