There is a worse picture out there, but it is from Gannet, and I think we can't post anything from them.
Yes, altering his body to fit his mental delusions is obviously going to make him a more healthy person.

California is first in the nation to agree to pay for a transgender inmate's sex reassignment operation, but the state's settlement of a recent court case sidesteps the question of whether such surgery is a constitutional right.
The state concedes that Shiloh Quine, who entered the California prison system in 1980 as Rodney, suffers severe gender dysphoria that can be treated only by physically conforming her body to her psychological gender.
"
The agreement to settle Quine's federal lawsuit seeking the surgery was announced late Friday, with a brief statement from the corrections department that "every medical doctor and mental health clinician who has reviewed this case, including two independent mental health experts, determined that this surgery is medically necessary for Quine."
Quine's victory was made possible by another inmate, Michelle Norsworthy, born as Jeffrey, who in April won a federal court order for surgery to reshape her genitals. Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday allowed a parole grant for Norsworthy instead, making that ruling moot days before an appellate panel was to hear California's legal challenge.
In both instances, California prison officials had denied the surgeries, arguing that sex reassignment was not medically necessary. The state's position was undermined in June when its own expert concluded that Quine required the operation.
"Sex reassignment surgery is medically necessary to prevent Ms. Quine from suffering significant illness or disability, and to alleviate severe pain caused by her gender dysphoria," wrote Richard Carroll, a clinical psychologist and director of the Sexual Disorders and Couple Therapy Program at Northwestern University in Chicago. Surgery, he said, would reduce her "depression, anxiety and risk of suicide attempts."
Waiting until she got out of prison was not an option. Quine is serving a life sentence without parole for murder.
"A settlement is not a precedent, but I suppose it gives a

Every time I see a Wounded Warriors commercial I get pissed off. We have money to throw at criminal freaks like this, money to give to fake Syrian rebels, money to give to anyone who can run,jump,swim, or fly across the border illegally but our wounded warriors have to resort to begging for money.
As a Nation our days are numbered. We are so screwed.
Why not let the other inmates perform the surgery for him/it?
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to send this person to an old fashioned SHRINK, when they recognized that person has having a confused world view.
But D Trump IS the shot in the arm and kick in the ass America has been waiting for
I don't feel so screwed any more.
what’s to pay for. Just whack it off.

There ya go! I fixed his problem, and any others that MIGHT crop up in the future, for pennies on the dollar.
You’re Welcome, America! :)
“..,suffers severe gender dysphoria that can be treated only by physically conforming her body to her psychological gender.”
One day, hopefully soon, this line of thinking will seem as ridiculous as the science used by the villagers in the Monty Python movie to determine the authenticity of a witch.
Not enough money for prison housing but enough for this.
What prison does this thing reside in during and after the surgery?
Guaranteed, you will see folks getting locked up to get the free surgery.
Bruce Jenner’s pager is beeping. Keep in mind that a feller with no Johnson is not a gal, he’s just a feller without a Johnson.
Will it be transferred to a women’s prison once it has been mutilated?
gender dysphoria...
There is also body dysphoria where you think an arm or leg doesn’t belong on you.
But they wont do that surgery here so people go to south America to get arms and legs removed.
The doctors in the article say the only way to treat it is to give the person what they want.
Well then why aren’t they chopping arms and legs off?
surprised no one ever brings up this argument.
This inmate was convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping, is close to 60 years old, and has been incarcerated for 35 years. And now they decide to give him a sex change?
California agrees to pay....

IIRC correctly, the first prison at Vacaville is the medical/mental health facility. They used to provide hormones and stuff for the “men” to grow breasts. Worked with a woman in Sac who wanted to do 30 days and get free breast enhancements. LOL.

This was denied in MA and the Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal.
“This inmate was convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping, is close to 60 years old, and has been incarcerated for 35 years. And now they decide to give him a sex change?”
That level of stupidity can’t even be explained.
So when those things complete treatment, do they go to a men’s prison or a women’s prison?
What a waste of money.
Does anyone in the ruling class of California know that gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder? The inmate needs mental help, not surgery that will mutilate.
Of course we all know that California is being run by people with serious mental disorders, so what do you expect?
