Intersexual woman kept in solitary
• Gender Outsiders: Transgendered & Others
An intersexual female, Miki Ann Dimarco, who was raised as a woman and undergone years of hormone therapy was placed in solitary confinement because the guards saw her penis. She was denied treatment for her multiple sclerosis and lupus, couldn't go the library or have visitors.
An intersexed woman -- generally called a hermaphrodite -- is suing the Wyoming Department of Corrections in United States District Court for placing her in solitary confinement during a 14-month sentence at the Wyoming Women's Center in Lusk.
Dimarco claims she was placed in solitary confinement because the Women's Center does not have a policy for intersexual prisoners. She claims she repeatedly asked to be moved but officials denied her requests, and she was segregated for her 14-month sentence.
