Lawyers for an incarcerated transgender woman in the custody of the Georgia Department of Corrections have filed for an emergency injunction to stop prison officials from retaliating against her due to two lawsuits she filed alleging the department had violated her constitutional rights. Ashley Diamond, a Black transgender woman currently housed in Coastal State Prison in Garden City, Georgia, says that since being re-incarcerated in 2019, prison officials have refused to comply with their obligations to protect her from violence and sexual abuse, and provide her with gender-affirming medical care.  Diamond, who sued the department in 2015 for violating her Eighth Amendment right to freedom from cruel and unusual punishment as it relates to her medical treatment, which has exacerbated her gender dysphoria and led her to attempt suicide and self-castration multiple times.
