Governor Jerry Brown Allows Parole for Transgender Inmate Casting Doubt on her Ability to Have State-Funded Sex Reassignment Surgery

Gov. Jerry Brown is allowing parole for a transgender inmate who is trying to force California to become the first state to pay for sex reassignment surgery. A federal judge in April ordered the state to provide the surgery, which had been scheduled for July. It was delayed after the state appealed.

The governor's office said Friday that Brown was taking no action on the Board of Parole Hearings' recommendation to release Michelle-Lael Norsworthy, which means her parole will proceed.

The decision makes it less likely that the 51-year-old will be able to have surgery funded by the prison before she is released. Parole board spokesman Luis Patino said it usually takes about a week for an inmate to be released after the governor allows a parole to proceed.

If he doesn’t get it done, does he have to go back?

Give ‘em a loan under the same regs as student loans

They believe that it will allow them a better life (and it’s not dis chargeable under bankruptcy)

He/she will clearly have to find a way to get back into prison. Does anyone see a moral hazard here?

If I was about to be sent to a male prison for life, I might have to seriously consider this strategy.

At a women’s prison I’d say the odds of gang rape in the shower go down considerably.

I could become a “Lesbian” easily. :)

(I didn’t mean I was wondering it about you, I was wondering if the state “should” be forced to pay for these. You are A-OK the way you are)

Is this the prisoner who refused parole, even though he was eligible for it several times, so his surgery would have been paid for by Ca?

The one state that gets it right on the DP.

Changing genders won’t stop them from committing crimes.
