"A transgender Arkansas inmate in a men's prison who castrated herself cannot sue prison officials for refusing to provide hormone therapy to assist her efforts to change genders, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday.
The court in a panel decision said Arkansas prison officials had heeded the advice of their medical professionals in declining to provide the inmate with hormone therapy and thus did not display "deliberate indifference" to her complaint, the court said."
