(now Fields v. Smith, formerly Sundstrom v. Frank) We are working with the ACLU of Wisconsin, the National LGBT Rights Project and Lambda Legal on behalf of two transgender prisoners in the custody of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections who are barred by statute from access to hormonal therapy treatment or sex reassignment surgery. A federal court granted a motion for a preliminary injunction, and ordered the DOC to restore our plaintiffs’ access to hormonal therapy. On three occasions since the original filing, we have been compelled to add new plaintiffs who were threatened with having their treatment cut off absent court intervention. A trial in this case was conducted in October 2007. In March 2010, the court entered an order declaring the statute we challenged unconstitutional and enjoining its enforcement. A longer written decision followed in May 2010. The matter is now on appeal.
