BOSTON, Jan 30 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge has temporarily blocked federal prison officials from transferring a transgender woman to a men's facility and denying her access to gender-affirming care in accordance with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump, her lawyers said on Thursday.
The temporary restraining order was issued by U.S. District Judge George O'Toole in Boston on Sunday while the inmate's case was sealed in what appeared to be the first lawsuit challenging an order Trump signed on his first day back in office on Jan. 20 targeting what he called "gender ideology extremism."
