Judge apologizes to inmate seeking sex-change
Boston Herald ^ | 8/18/11 | Boston Herald

Posted on 08/18/2011 12:06:54 PM PDT by raccoonradio

A federal judge has apologized to a transgender inmate who has waited years for a ruling on whether she can get a taxpayer-funded sex-change operation.

Michelle Kosilek first sued 11 years ago. Two years later, U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf ruled that Kosilek was entitled to treatment for gender-identity disorder, but stopped short of ordering surgery.

Kosilek sued again in 2005, arguing that the surgery is a medical necessity. Prison officials oppose the idea.

During a hearing Thursday, Wolf said he deeply regrets that his decision has not yet been issued. He says he knows the case is "extremely important" to both Kosilek and prison officials.

Kosilek, born as Robert, was convicted of killing his wife in 1990. Kosilek has received hormone treatments and lives as a woman in an all-male prison.

I volunteer to perform the surgery for that poor, ailing, disadvantaged person.

Idiot judge. Why don’t HE pay for the operation.

And besides... How expensive can it be? The freak was born a male. So just get a real sharp scalpel...

“Whack! Whack! Whack!”

You’re done. Couple of Advil for the pain.

What could be expensive about that?

I refuse to refer to any man as “she.” In this case I will be tolerant and refer to this person as “it.”

Well, I had to read some more about poor “Michelle,” and discovered that “she” also had had to fight in court for the right to state-paid electrolysis to remove facial hair, because looking at stubble every morning was causing “her” great distress.

A trip to the gallows about twenty years ago would have solved “Michelle’s” problems for good.

I’ve said it before, these “doctors” should have their licenses yanked! How can you surgically mutilate the mentally deranged for profit and still call yourself a doctor?

One wonders just how much more insanely evil things are going to get. A "judge" apologizes to a murderder, who is also a mentally ill sex pervert, that the mentally ill sex pervert murderer won't get a free sex change operation paid for by YOU AND ME? How far away are we from hitting bottom?

And if a criminally mentally ill patient wants ‘species reassignment surgery’ so as to live their life in prison as their true self, be it as a dog, or a cat or whatever animal they view themselves as, then these criminally insane judges will of course apologize for the delay and order the tax payers held responsible for this “extremely important” surgery as well.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

More on Mark Wolf:

U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf dismissed a
lawsuit by outraged parents whose children attend the
Lexington, Massachusetts elementary school, where 6-year-
olds were subjected to a story (under the circumstances, one
hesitates to call it a fairy tale) about a prince who falls in love
with another prince, and they get married and live
happily/gaily ever after.

In his decision, Judge Wolf wrote that public schools
are “entitled to teach anything that is reasonably related to
the goals of preparing students to become engaged and
productive citizens in our democracy.”

Families don’t even have a right to pull their kids from
indoctrination sessions, because allowing parents to opt out
“could send the message that gays, lesbians, and the children
of same-sex parents are inferior and, therefore, have a
damaging effect on those children,” Wolf wrote.
