A federal district judge in Indiana has once again ordered the state Department of Correction (IDOC) to arrange a sex reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate convicted of reckless homicide of a baby, marking the latest development in the ongoing legal saga challenging an Indiana law banning the procedure.
The case, now in its second year, involves inmate Autumn Cordellioné's request for sex reassignment surgery. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) first filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections in 2023 on behalf of Cordellioné, challenging an Indiana law that prohibits the Department of Corrections from using taxpayer funds to cover sex reassignment surgeries for inmates. The ACLU argues the law is a violation of the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishment."
"The court ordered that the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Correction should be preliminarily enjoined to take all reasonable actions to secure Ms. Cordellioné gender-affirming surgery at the earliest opportunity," Judge Richard Young, a Clinton appointee, wrote in a March 5 filing. "Ms. Cordellioné seeks to extend the injunction for the second time. For the reasons that follow, her motion to renew or extend preliminary injunction… is granted."
Cordellioné, born Jonathan Richardson, sought out another injunction as the one issued in December last year expired on March 6, court documents show.
In its Order granting the motion for preliminary injunction, the court acknowledged that 'surgery may take time as it will be provided by a surgeon who is not affiliated with either IDOC or its contracted medical provider. It is therefore the court's intention… to renew this preliminary injunction every 90 days until the surgery is provided,'" the document states.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has been defending the state's law and submitted a brief in January to a court of appeals

Okay... Cut his equipment off and then put him in men’s general population while still sore.
Another arrogant Judge that needs to be dragged off of his throne and be beaten in the street.
how do these judges live with themselves. Issuing insane orders like this one. How do they justify it?? The left is truly sick.
I know a lot of people who would love to volunteer to do the surgery for him.
I doubt that he realizes he will be sore for the rest of his life. The hole they create will close up naturally unless it is constantly re-injured. He will have a gaping wound the rest of his life.
Perhaps this judge is at his core a sadist and wants to see this guy mutilated.
Sure...
What is the underlying incurable endocrine defect? CAH, NCCAH, Klinefelters, Swyer’s, Hermaphrodite? I’m presuming this person is born male, so that rules out Turner’s Syndrome and PCOS. Any scans to look for tumors on the adrenal glands?
No underlying medical condition?
THEN YOU ARE NOT TRANS.
I am SICK AND TIRED of people claiming to be trans when they are not! My kid is one of the .01% and these pretenders have made life HELL. Gender Dysphoria is not something they would want anyone to experience; it’s lonely, confusing, and comes with all sorts of stupidly uninformed prejudgements by people who don’t know SQUAT about what the .01% actually go through.
Drag queens are not trans. Cross-dressers are not trans. Special snowflakes are not trans. It’s like suddenly everyone claims to have a rare form of cancer; NO YOU DON’T.
FYI, there is NEVER a valid medical reason to transition a child, EVER.
The Left calls abortions “women’s healthcare.”
Maybe the judge is forcing “gender affirming surgery” as trans health care for this one.
And they wonder why “contempt of court” has joined “contempt of Congress” as the pastimes that replaced major league baseball.
Wow. You’d never know he’s insane just by looking at him
Ever hear of Forneir’s Gangrene?
He strangled an 11-month-old baby to death. Why was he only convicted of “reckless homicide”?
This what the democraps have to offer.
I will volunteer to assist the surgery. I am a retired pharmacists and as such can assure a totally painless surgery as I know drugs. My skills as a surgeon are limited to cleaning of animals I have shot for game and meat.
If he’s hoping for reassignment to a women’s prison he should reconsider. My experience has been that female prisoners are less violent, but make up for it in psychological cruelty and meanness.

I was trying to think of the last full week I have been through without hearing anything about Trans this or that.
I would need to go back in time for at least eight years!
Give him the Jeffrey Dahmer treatment.
Another black-robed tyrant.
They won’t be so bold after they are targeted.
And would not even charge for it.
If he goes fishing, he can have one eye on the bait and one eye on the bobber.
