A trans woman incarcerated in a New Jersey men’s prison severely mutilated herself after waiting years for gender-affirming surgery that would create a pathway for her to move to the state’s only women’s prison. She is one of several trans women in recent years to resort to self-harm amid delays in necessary medical care.

The New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) contracts with University Correctional Health Care (UCHC) at Rutgers University to provide medical, dental, and mental health care for those in NJDOC custody. Valentina and other trans women have repeatedly criticized UCHC and NJDOC for what they say is substandard treatment, unreasonable delays, and opaque decision-making.
[...]
The dispute over the treatment of trans women in New Jersey prisons dates largely back to October 2022, when the state changed an internal policy to give corrections officials greater leeway to override trans prisoners’ housing preferences.
[...]
Other trans women, including Valentina and Belladonna, say the policy change—coupled with years long delays in obtaining surgeries that would alleviate officials’ concerns—was used to similarly relegate them to men’s prisons where they’ve face sexual abuse, harassment, and violence from both staff and incarcerated men.
[...]
According to ACLU attorney and expert on transgender rights Chase Strangio, courts have repeatedly found that denying incarcerated people medical care, including transition-related care, is unconstitutional—though the practice of providing that care remains a different story.
“The government, once it confines someone against their will, cannot deliberately withhold needed medical care,” Strangio said in an interview with Them. “This basic constitutional requirement is being treated as controversial because the media and state and federal lawmakers have so effectively demonized transgender people … that the idea that the Constitution would protect us is itself seen as something bordering on a joke.”

the things that we've been forced to manage through crowdfunding websites are insane. victims of a genocide are having to market themselves as someone who is worthy of being saved.
living for more than a year under an active genocide while seeing your oppressors cruelty and disregard for your life increase is so horrendous.
every single person in gaza has lost too much. i don't think everyone must have to share their personal loss in order to be deemed as a person worthy of safety. i think we should try to help those we can see asking for it.
i request you to help alaa and her children. she needs to buy supplies and remain safe. her area was bombed very recently. her fundraiser has been verified.
please donate here
by the way this is the procedure to get out of gaza
it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child
if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.
once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit
once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out
it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.
