The U.S. Bureau of Prisons has fast-tracked 'gender confirmation surgeries' for a transgeder ex-neo-Nazi serving life in prison for two violent robberies after she filed a lawsuit against them for delaying his/her request.
Donna Langan, born Peter, 63, was part of the Aryan Republican Army (ARA), a neo-Nazi group, and was convicted in 1997 to life in prison with an additional 35 years for two bank robberies where she used firearms and explosives.
Langan, who identifies as female, spent two decades in a male prison before being transferred to the Carswell Federal Medical Center women's prison, in Fort Worth, Texas.
In September 2021, Langan filed a complaint against the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), claiming he/she 'experiences debilitating anguish as a result of severe and inadequately treated gender dysphoria.'
The BOP said in a joint report on Friday that Langan's request will finally be fulfilled 'quickly,' without the need to settle things in court. 'Plaintiffs concur that the actions of the government appear to show that the surgery is on track, and will not be postponed excessively, or artificially delayed,' the report states.
'In light of the steps BOP has taken towards providing surgeries to Plaintiff, the parties believe there is a possibility that all claims in this case might be resolved without the need for further litigation.'
Don't you feel better knowing that people in charge of our prisons have the prisoners' best interests at heart? Jeezzzz.
