The Justice Department has threatened to sue Utah’s Department of Corrections after alleging that the state violated an inmate’s rights by refusing to provide treatment for gender dysphoria.
The DOJ said in a report released Tuesday that the inmate, who wasn’t named, did not receive gender dysphoria treatment for more than 15 months after requesting it. By then, the inmate had already self-mutilated, according to the report.
“After enduring repeated delays and denials of her requests for disability-related care and reasonable modifications, Complainant performed dangerous self-surgery and removed her own testicles,” the DOJ said, identifying the biological male as a woman.
The DOJ blamed the messy debacle on Utah’s “protracted, multistep process” to receive gender dysphoria treatment. The DOJ also noted that the inmate was denied the request to move to a female prison.
The DOJ is now asking Utah to implement reforms, including new policies to ensure inmates have access to gender-related healthcare. If Utah fails to do this, the DOJ threatened to sue.
“We hope to work together with you to resolve this matter cooperatively through a court enforceable consent decree that brings UDOC into compliance with the ADA. If we are unable to reach such a resolution, the Attorney General may initiate a lawsuit,” said Rebecca Bond, the head of the DOJ’s disability rights section.
In response to the DOJ’s findings, Utah’s DOC said it was “blindsided.”
“We have been working to address this complex issue, and were blindsided by today’s public announcement from the Department of Justice. We have also taken steps on our own, and as a state, to address the needs of inmates while maintaining the highest safety standards,” said DOC Director Brian Redd in a statement issued Tuesday evening.
“We fundamentally disagree with the DOJ on key issues, and are disappointed with their approach.”
The DOJ’s legal threat against Utah is its latest move in an apparent campaign to promote transgenderism in prisons.
DOJ Lawfare Last month, the DOJ filed a statement of interest in support of a lawsuit from transgender inmate Jonathan C. Richardson, who now goes by the name “Autumn Cordellionè” and is serving a 55-year sentence for killing Richardson’s infant stepdaughter.
Richardson, who identifies as an “Islamic-practicing transwoman,” first sued the Indiana Department of Correction last August in federal court after the state passed a law banning prisoners from receiving sexual reassignment surgery. The baby-killer’s lawsuit is being litigated by the American Civil Liberties Union, with the support of the DOJ, which filed a statement of interest in support of their motion to block Indiana’s law.
While Richardson’s lawsuit didn’t involve any removal of testicles, the inmate did disclose that “I have soiled myself rather than go to the bathroom, as I just do not want to see or deal with my genitals.”
The DOJ’s support of Richardson follows a similar move in Georgia, where prosecutors filed a brief in January to support a lawsuit filed by an unnamed inmate against the Georgia Department of Corrections. Details of the inmate’s crimes weren’t included in the filing.
Additionally, the DOJ settled a lawsuit last June from a federal inmate—former Neo-Nazi bank robber Pete/Donna Langan—who sued the Bureau of Prisons in late 2021 to obtain a sex change. Langan became the first federal inmate in history to receive a sex change in January 2023, but continued to sue the BOP to also cover facial hair removal surgery.
The details of Langan’s settlement have not been made public.

At least there is no way IT can reproduce!
Eunuch!!!!!!
Well, gee, it makes sense to me. If a girl can glue ‘em on she can rip them off. Women’s lib and all that.
Sounds like the old bilateral orchiectomy. When I was a student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison there was an incident in the dorms - involving a mentally ill pre-med student who operated on himself in his dorm room. He set up mirrors and lights so he could perform surgeries on himself. As a run up to an Orchiectomy that he had planned, he started removing his gall bladder, but ran into complications. He sutured up, called 911 and went to the hospital where he was rescued by people who actually knew what they were doing and had licenses to practice medicine, even. The paramedics who responded to the 911 call called detectives with the Madison police and the UW Police, but there was no news coverage of the incident at the time. Years later a forensic psychiatrist wrote up the incident for a psychiatric journal and it received some national publicity at that time (3-4 years after the incident.)
Sometimes the mentally ill person is the babbling hobo at the bus stop, other times it is someone competent, and perhaps even brilliant, but so misdirected.
The Biden regime didn’t have any problem putting Ray Levin, aka Rachel Levine in a government position after he cut off his own testicles in a restroom in a hospital.
He was judged too unhinged for doctors to perform the surgery but he’s good enough for government work.
I believe the Heaven’s Gate cult males also had to cut their body parts off.
Just cash it in. America is not going to survive.
Yeah, kinda like hurt its brain for a democrat.
That’s nuts. It was HIS own testicles.
Or you have mental problems, but that is kind of repetitious
The Utah DOC might indeed be liable. How did a severely mentally ill prisoner get ahold of a knife?

Why is it the States problem when a mentally ill man castrates himself?
There, fixed it.
That graphic made me wonder how Edward Scissorhands ever managed to wipe himself.
Removed its own testicles. There was no “her” involved.
