Transgender Inmate Sues Indiana Department of Correction to Obtain Hormone Therapy:

"A transgender inmate is suing Indiana’s prison system for denying his requests to undergo hormone therapy.
Anthony Loveday, 55, claims the Indiana Department of Correction’s (DOC) decision to deny his hormone therapy is cruel and unusual punishment, according to the complaint obtained by the Indianapolis Star.

Loveday, who is biologically male but identifies as female, stated in the lawsuit that he experienced depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts because the state would not provide him hormone therapy."
