(Christian News Network) – A federal judge has ordered the Idaho Department of Corrections to allow a male inmate who identifies as female to obtain a “sex change” operation. “Defendants are ordered to provide Plaintiff with adequate medical care, including gender confirmation surgery. Defendants shall take all actions reasonably necessary to provide … gender confirmation surgery as promptly as possible and no later than six months from the date of this order,”

wrote Judge B. Lynn Winmill, nominated to the bench by then-President Bill Clinton. Winmill agreed that the 31-year-old inmate, who goes by the name Adree Edmo, “that without surgery … Edmo is at serious risk of life-threatening self-harm.” According to the ruling, Edmo attempted suicide in 2014, and sought to self-castrate himself in 2015 and 2016, despite being allowed to take female hormones years prior until he was considered “hormonally confirmed.” READ MORE
