A federal judge ruled on Monday that a federal prisoner is entitled to surgical procedures that will alter his body in order to accommodate his “transgender” identity.
As reported by USA Today, Judge Nancy Rosenstengel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois ordered the United States Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to provide a surgeon who will perform the operation for a prisoner going by the name of Christina Iglesias, a man who believes that he is a woman. The decision ended a case that has lasted for three years.
Under the conditions of Rosenstengel’s ruling, BOP must now provide a timeline for when Iglesias’ surgery will take place, including details about their vetting process for the surgeon who will perform the operation, and must submit weekly reports to the court constantly updating the judge on the matter. The judge also ordered the operation to be carried out before Iglesias’ prison sentence ends in December.
“I am hopeful that I will finally get the care I need to live my life fully as the woman I am,” Iglesias said. “BOP has denied me gender-affirming surgery for years – and keeps raising new excuses and putting new obstacles in my way. I am grateful that the court recognized the urgency of my case and ordered BOP to act.”
This ruling would mark the first time in history that a federal prisoner has been ordered to receive gender-altering surgery.
In a statement following the ruling, Joshua Blecher-Cohen, a lawyer with the far-left American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who represented Iglesias, falsely claimed that the Constitution guarantees the right to transgender surgery.
“For years, Cristina has fought to receive the health care the Constitution requires,” Cohen said. “The court’s order makes clear that she needs gender-affirming surgery now and that BOP cannot justify its failure to provide this medically necessary care.”
“We hope this landmark decision will help secure long-overdue health care for Cristina,” Cohen continued, “and for the many other transgender people in federal custody who have been denied gender-affirming care.”
The increase in prisoners claiming to be transgender has led to further complications in the U.S. prison system. The ACLU previously represented two “transgender” prisoners who demanded that they be incarcerated in a women’s prison, since they identified as women. After ultimately winning the case and securing the prisoners’ transfer, two female inmates in the facility were eventually impregnated.
I hope some inmate hones a shank and de-cocks the moron.
>>>Judge Rules that Prisons Must Accommodate ‘Transgender’ Prisoners with ‘Gender-Affirming’ Surgery<<<
Good. Cut off their heads.
Obama.
I think when goofyass “judges” make rulings like this that THEY should pay for them out of THEIR OWN POCKETS. The taxpayers shouldn’t have to pay for their socialist crap. The Constitution doesn’t give them any authority to pull this crap on Americans.
🤡🌎
We are living in 🤡🌎.
When I was a kid, if the prison guards cut off a guy’s johnson and nads, the public would throw a real hissy fit.
For convicted and imprisoned felons, a dickectomy or, on the “other side”, an addadicktomy (as Rush often said) has become a new “basic human right”. This is a clear indication of a rapidly deteriorating society.
Why not? It’s boring in prison. You gotta find something to do. /s
So if a twisted mind can’t afford the surgery themselves, the twisted mind can force taxpayers to pay for it. 😡
Cut off the penis so he cannot impregnate the truly female inmates.
This is coming out of the same line of crappola that health care is a human right.
BS!
You can’t affirm what’s not true.
I hope this judge is willing to be held responsible for the rapes and murders they will cause.
This ruling will be upheld 5-4 by the SCOTUS. Take it to the bank. Roberts, Gorsuch, Kagan, Soto and the latest one.
Balls off and takeadickfromme first. Then we can talk about wigs. Tattoos stay.
That probably is where they start.
You know they can make it mandatory that all males who claim to be a woman and want to be in a woman’s prison get the surgery done. That will end the rapes and pregnancies being reported.
Nah, just cut off his tallywhacker and be done with it.
