The Matt Barber Take On What To Do About Transgender People Under Gov't Control

Matt Barber is upset. The Idaho Department of Corrections recently settled a lawsuit filed by two with transgender inmates who, according to the Associated Press, "...contended they were subjected to cruel and unusual punishment because they were denied treatment for gender identity disorder.

The settlement, again according to the Associated Press, does the following:

    The policy now limits the time inmates must wait for treatment, specifies how they may be diagnosed, and clarifies when they qualify for hormone therapy.

As you can imagine, this doesn't make the Liberty Counsel's Matt Barber happy at all.
