Intersex woman sues Wyoming prison
Miki Ann Dimarco has filed a lawsuit against the Wyoming Department of Corrections for putting her in solitary confinement. Dimarco was moved to a new cell after a prison strip search revealed that she has "ambiguous" genitalia. Dimarco, who was born intersex, has lived her life as a woman. The prison does not have a policy on intersex or other transgender people and recomended Dimarco's segregation although claims not to have put her in solitary confinement. Dimarco says prison officials have denied her request to be moved to a warmer cell to ease her symptoms of lupus and multiple sclerosis.
