Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled that the Wisconsin Department of Corrections cannot deny transgender surgery to a man convicted of raping his 10-year-old daughter. The ruling also means Wisconsin will put the man in a women’s prison.
U.S. District Judge James Peterson approved the request of Mark Allen Campbell, a 49-year-old Wisconsin man who identifies as female and goes by the name “Nicole Rose,” to undergo transgender surgery at taxpayer expense, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. Campbell has identified as female since 2013, when he first requested the operation.
The Journal-Sentinel mentioned that Campbell began serving a 34-year prison sentence in 2007 for the sexual assault of a child. The paper did not mention the exact allegations that led to his conviction. According to the criminal complaint, the man’s 10-year-old daughter told investigators that her father had sex with her, masturbated in front of her, used sex toys with her, and exposed her to pornography. Judge Peterson ruled that this man must be eligible to receive transgender surgery at taxpayer expense.
“The rights of transgender persons and sex reassignment surgery remain politically controversial, even outside the prison context. And some members of the public are outraged at any effort to improve the health and well being of inmates,” Peterson wrote. “But the true public interest lies in alleviating needless suffering by those who are dependent on the government for their care.”
While gender dysphoria, the persistent and painful identification with the gender opposite one’s biological sex, is real, it remains an open question as to whether or not transgender identity (with experimental hormones and surgery) is the right course of treatment for it.

A famous Austin murder defense lawyer said he used “the son of a bitch needed killing” defense.
Clearly, this guy was not responsible enough to own and operate a penis and testicles anyway.
The sentence kind of fits the crime, in a roundabout way.

Yikes! Ordinary guys like us could get 10 years for that!
It shouldn't be the case that going to prison necessarily means you will get gang raped. Conservatives shouldn't be all ecstatic about the prospect that felons who are given light sentences by liberal judges at least get penalized with gang rape.
Do we really want criminals coming out of prison with the additional craziness associated with PTSD from gang rape?
