In 2017 Michael Hari, the head of a ragtag white militia extremist group, participated in the bombing of a mosque in Bloomington, Minnesota. He was caught and convicted after pleading guilty. His lawyer now argues that he should be given leniency because he now identifies as a woman.

While planning the bombing, he was suffering from the effects of gender dysphoria and online anti-Muslim propaganda. His lawyer told the court in a plea for a mitigated sentence of 30 years rather than life:

“Thus, as she formed a ragtag group of freedom fighters or militia men and spoke of missions to Cuba and Venezuela, Ms. Hari secretly looked up ‘sex change,’ ‘transgender surgery’ and ‘post-op transgender’ on the internet. As she purchased military fatigues for their ‘missions,’ she also purchased dresses and female clothing for a planned trip to Bangkok, Thailand, for male-to-female surgery. She was living a double life.”

Hari also wants to be assigned to a female prison.
