California prison officials have approved the nation’s first known sex-reassignment surgery for a prison inmate and say their actions show that they handle each case individually and have never had a blanket policy against surgery. But a transgender rights group isn’t convinced, and neither was a federal judge.

“They’ve had a written policy ... that surgical treatment (for transgender inmates) shall not be available and shall be deferred past the time of incarceration,” Ilona Turner, legal director of the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco, said Monday.

Why don't you tell that to the person you murdered? Oh wait you can't.

“Sex-reassignment surgery” is medical quackery. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

I am beyond appalled that the taxpayers will have to pay for this.

They should do sex reassignment surgery in the prison courtyard. Would save the taxpayer some money.

All that's needed is a shiv.

So they tell us our schools don’t have money. We’re cutting our military by 40,000 but yet we’re paying for this perverted bs?

Guess we’ll have to tell our kids to go to school to be a sex change doctor. Sounds like it’ll be a booming industry with the way media and government is promoting it as an acceptable “lifestyle.”

The term is “Devolving”.

There is no “right” to taxpayer funded mutilation.

I am not sure there is currently a more bizarre nation on the planet. What kind of moral and sane nation would even have this as an issue for discussion? This is an obamanation.

Unfortunately, there seems to be so little that good people here can do about it.

Oh my God, I feel bad for the people of California. The state government is useless and flat out crazy.

The nut should be in the mental health ward of the prison, not given transgender surgery and put in with the women.

The public should not have to pay for elective medical procedures.

Here’s a hint: it’s ELECTIVE surgery. Which means if you want it, YOU pay for it. . .
