"Transgender inmates who sought gender reassignment surgery in California prisons won a pair of victories on Friday that down the line could lead to improved conditions across the board for prisoners consistent with their gender identity.

Attorneys for Shiloh Quine, a transgender women incarcerated in a men's prison, and the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation reached a settlement granting her gender reassignment surgery prescribed by medical experts as well as clothing and items consistent with her gender identity."
