IDAHO — The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the state of Idaho must provide gender confirmation surgery to Adree Edmo-- an inmate housed at the Idaho Department of Corrections, according to Boise State Public Radio.
That means Edmo will be the first transgender inmate in the country to receive the surgery through a court order.
Based on Edmo's diagnosed gender dysphoria, a panel of judges agreed with Federal District Judge B. Lynn Winmill's ruling in Edmo's favor. They argued that not providing the surgery would be a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
As we previously reported , Idaho attempted to appeal the ruling, an action led by Gov. Brad Little during his first weeks in office.
