What’s Current: Trans-identified male in prison for child sex abuse receives ‘gender confirmation’ surgery

  • A trans-identified male inmate in prison for sexually assaulting a minor received “gender confirmation” surgery after three years of legal battles. CNN reports:

“A federal judge ordered the state to provide the surgery because Edmo’s mental health was impacted. In February, the 9th Circuity Court of Appeals upheld that ruling, marking the first time a federal appeals court has ruled that a state must provide gender assignment surgery to an incarcerated person.”

  • US women are increasingly faced with no other option but to undergo miscarriages at home, without medical supervision or intervention, due to decreased hospital availability as a result of the pandemic.

  • The UK Crown Prosecution Service announced a five-year plan to increase rape convictions following sustained criticism over plummeting conviction rates.
