Kosilek was convicted in 1992 of murdering his wife, a counselor he had met while he was in drug rehabilitation, after she caught him wearing her clothes.

Judge Mark Wolf of the U.S. District Court in Boston ruled in 2012 that the state had violated Kosilek's rights by denying the procedure, noting that Corrections Department medical personnel had recommended it as necessary treatment for his gender-identity disorder.

The Department of Corrections challenged the decision, claiming that denying sex-change surgery does not constitute inadequate medical care.

Call me old fashioned, but if you ever HAD a right to a taxpayer funded sex-change operation (a dubious assertion to begin with), you certainly forfeited that “right” upon conviction of a major felony.

So then afterwards, does he get sent to a women’s prison?????

Can’t we agree that prisoners give up certain rights, and among those lost rights are rights to a sex change operation???????

Well, liberal judges continue to issue nonsense rulings.

suffering from gender identity disorder

I suffer from financial identity disorder. I think I am rich but of course I was born poor. The Government should give me money to solve my disorder....

Why can’t we pay half and he pays the rest.

Do the job halfway and he can pay for the rest when he gets out of prison.

The German language has three genders.

Changing this guy to neuter is no problem for me, just don't use anesthesia.

So where do you put a criminal like that if he/she is to remain incarcerated? If you put him/her in a male prison, then she becomes everybody’s whore. If you put him/her in a women’s prison, then they will beat the crap out of him every day on a regular basis.

Solutions:

Execute him now. That would solve the problem once and for all.

Oops. Sorry. Forgot that this was in Massachusetts where the criminal has more rights than their victim.

Second solution (a cheap one). Put his or her sorry ass in solitary for the rest of their life. No transgender problems.

He/She can play with themselves and nobody will get hurt.

Ah crap. Throw the judge (Wolf) in with him. That should be fun to watch on Pay for View.

Wolf: “F*ck you”.
Kosilek: “Now you’re talking”

States need to put their collective feet down and refuse to pay one red cent for any Federal mandates...Period!

On another note, it's obvious that this person's sexual identity is all in his head - the muslims have perfected a procedure to fix that.
