Let's see: we have a disorder here: someone who's radically uncomfortable with the sex they were born with. Somebody who has a healthy functioning masculine body and a disoriented feminine attitude.
Should you go for maiming the body to fit the attitude, or healing the attitude to fit the body?
For $20,000, your body can be made as dysfunctional as your mind. And even then, the disorder isn't cured: you're STILL radically uncomfortable with the sex you were born with!
It's always been thought to be unethical to carve up a healthy, functioning body for no medical reason. Plus unethical to soak the taxpayers for $20,000 worth of therapeutically un-called-for, elective, essentially cosmetic (if you can call it that) surgery.
But ethics? What's ethics in the face of preference?

I'd bet there are some who would do the 'gender reassignment surgery' at no cost to Taxpayers. Lesse: a sharp knife and a white-hot poker for cauterizing. Yep; I volunteer.

Give them the psychotherapy and the shots, then. I'm normally wary of anything psych-related, simply because it involves too much medication, but in this case, up the dosage.

Depravity of the lost soul knows no depths. Contrary to the PC thought control mob, God does not create people as homosexuals - or pedophiles, or adulterers, etc. We each have certain tendencies to sin - different weaknesses for different folk - that are designed to show us we are not God. These weaknesses are not intended to be used as an excuse to indulge the "sin that so easily besets us".
Let one who is tormented by such cry out to God, Who calls the lost soul into the rest created by Christ crucified for the sins of the world. While it yet today - seek Him. For in Him is life and Truth and light.

Just send him to Thailand. The operation only costs about $1,500 US. Maybe he can stay there too. Sounds like a reasonable and inexpensive solution instead of paying to keep him locked up.

I know a blind Rabbi with a sharp ax, who provides Chopadicophomies for free.
I'm sure taxpayers would approve of this compassionate act.

Ok if he wants a sex change fine. BUT he doesn't get to go to a hospital and get a doctor to do it on our dime. He has to get Bruno in the prison hospital to do it with some gardening shears, duct tape, and other assorted items. The only anesthetic you get is to bit down on a wooden stick or a little whiskey mabey a damp rag with some industrial cleaner on it thats it. DO you still want the operation??

I thought this article was leading to that. Colorado DOES pay for this for their inmates doncha know.

How about the dying you did to someone else on the outside. Stay inside and rot Tinkerbell.

"It's just as cruel to withhold treatment for gender-identity disorder as it is to withhold treatment for any other medical issue."I agree. What is even crueler is to irrevocably mutilate someone rather than give them the psychiatric treatment their mental disorder requires.

not one "f...ing" dime!
and while I'm here, after we secure the borders we should deport incarcerated illegals.
why should American taxpayers pay to incarcerate other countries' criminals!
Enough is enough!

I don't get it. He's a woman trapped in a man's body. Surrounded by lots of hunky males. If he's changed, he'll be transferred to a women's facility and be housed with a lot of hunky lesbians....................

No way should the taxpayers have to pony up the money for a free operation for a murderer. Changing his sex is outward change. The man's a murderer. What about his victims--they don't have a choice.
Wonder if this is how the Zodiac killer changed his identity?
