(Federal) Appeals court overturns sex-change for inmate
The Tribune ^ | 12/16/2014 | DENISE LAVOIE

A federal appeals court has overturned a ruling ordering Massachusetts prison officials to provide taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery for an inmate convicted of murder.

Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, has waged a protracted legal battle for the surgery she says is needed to relieve the mental anguish caused by gender-identity disorder.

In 2012, a federal judge ruled that prison officials must provide the surgery. That decision was upheld by a three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but prison officials appealed and won a rehearing before the full appeals court.

Do it on yourself, you dork.

Or, there are plenty out there who’d love to cut you up a bit.

Gads, liberalism really is a disease.

This “gender-identity disorder” isn’t life threatening and isn’t a required medical procedure.

Didn’t anyone tell the little faggot that if he were to undergo a cutadickoffame procedure that he may be sent to the female prision and...waitaminut. He’s a genius!

The full panel of the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the prison, not just one judge.

If they had reversed the decision AFTER the surgery, would they have reversed the surgery?

“Finally, a little sanity.”

This guy is a total whackjob.

This guy’s case is so outrageous that even Barney Frank, Elizabeth Warren and Deval Patrick came out against granting his wish to chop himself up on the taxpayer’s dime. That’s eye opening.

at least from THIS judge...

But if this is allowed to happen isn’t that a huge incentive for pre-ops to commit a crime and go to prison? A Sex change operation is the most expensive elective surgery there is. So, commit some crimes, go to prison and your victims will have to reward you with a free operation.

Sounds just like all liberal programs.

A slight retreat from the insanity that has been ruling.

I object to paying for a criminal to have his schmeckel lopped off and for classes to teach him how to talk one octave higher. And for his bras.
