Amy,
Welcome to TGH! I’m so sorry to hear about your partner’s imprisonment and maltreatment in there!! I’m not sure how to help. I’ll poke around the web and see. Have you tried working through your partner’s lawyer? I would imagine it’s an issue for the courts to decide. Big hug!
Warmly,
Dasia
Amy,
I found an article by the ACLU that offers some advice to your partner's situation. Here it is: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/prisoners-rights/#im-experiencing-discrimination-or-abuse-in-prison-because-im-transgender
I would think asking Lambda Legal might get you some answers. Here's they're website https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/prisoners-rights/#im-experiencing-discrimination-or-abuse-in-prison-because-im-transgender
Also, the Transgender Law Center may be able to assist you: https://transgenderlawcenter.org/about
Finally, the National Center for Transgender Equality has some helpful links here: https://transequality.org/issues/police-jails-prisons
I hope you're able to find the help you need whether in these links or otherwise. What your partner is going through in prison sounds horrible and a form of torture. Bless you for trying to help him!
Best,
Dasia
