Sunday Hinton – Photo courtesy of the ACLU of DC. A transgender woman who sued the District of Columbia over a D.C. Department of Corrections policy that placed her in a men’s unit has been transferred to a women’s unit, but her class-action lawsuit seeking to permanently alter the policy will continue. Sunday Hinton, a transgender woman who faces a charge of unarmed burglary for allegedly trying to steal $20, sued the District of Columbia last week after being placed in a men’s unit based on a Department of Corrections policy that houses prisoners based on their genitalia, their biological sex at birth, and whether they’ve undergone gender confirmation surgery.

Sunday Hinton sued the District on Tuesday over her housing at the Central Detention Facility (CDF), which is a men’s facility, solely based on anatomy. The complaint states that Hinton is “at risk of imminent harm.” The suit was announced by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of DC, which is representing her along with D.C.’s Public Defender Service.

Hinton was sent to the men’s facility despite being identified as “woman” by the court.
