"For the past three years a bitter battle has waged between the transgender inmates of FCI Petersburg and prison administrators. On the prisoners’ side, calls for hormone therapy, counseling, female commissary products (e.g., makeup, fragrance, bras, underwear, etc.), hair removal, and even SRS have been advanced. The trans prisoners simply want gender congruence; for their internal and external selves to be the same."
