Maria Moe, a transgender woman incarcerated in a Massachusetts women's prison, has temporarily avoided a transfer to a men's facility due to a federal judge's ruling. Judge George O'Toole issued a restraining order following Moe's lawsuit against a Trump administration policy that prevents the recognition of gender identity for federal inmates. The order aimed to halt federal funds for gender-affirming care and mandates the classification of inmates strictly by biological sex. Moe's legal team argues her placement in a men's facility would expose her to significant risks of violence and abuse.
O'Toole's ruling allows Maria Moe to remain in a women's prison during legal proceedings against the Trump administration's order impacting transgender inmates.
Moe's lawyers argue that transferring her to a men's facility would expose her to a much higher risk of violence and abuse.
