Sex Reassignment Surgery for Inmates with Gender Dysphoria

[摘要] Refusal of Sex Reassignment Surgery for Inmates with Gender Dysphoria Does Not Constitute Deliberate IndifferenceIn Gibson v. Collier, 920 F.3d 212 (5th Cir. 2019), the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's decision to grant summary judgment for the director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Bryan Collier, who had refused sex reassignment surgery (SRS) for Scott Gibson (also known as Vanessa Lynn Gibson), who was a transgender prison inmate. The Fifth Circuit considered the opposing views about SRS in the medical community and concluded that refusal of SRS did not constitute deliberate indifference.
