After a historic legal settlement that will allow a California inmate to undergo sex-reassignment surgery, the states prisons will implement the nations first guidelines that would authorize surgical procedures sought by transgender inmates who are suffering from severe mental problems.
The guidelines call for panels of state health professionals to review appeals for sex-reassignment surgery from inmates whose doctors say their patients are under significant distress because of a mental condition known as gender dysphoria. The inmate must have been taking hormones for at least a year and have consistently expressed a desire to change his or her biological gender before an operation can be approved.
Prison officials have estimated the cost of the state-funded operations as high as $100,000. But the Transgender Law Center in San Francisco, which has represented two inmates in suits against the state, says each operation would cost $15,000 to $30,000.

This would have made a great sci-fi novel 30 years ago. Who would have have ever imagined this would one day be reality?
Look at the bright side: Those male inmates who have their gonads removed will be less likely to commit crime, once their testosterone goes away.
“Taxpayers will now have to pay for hormonal treatments and sexual reassignment surgeries for any prisoner who wants it. “
People who undergo this surgery tend to commit suicide at an astonishing rate. This may actually save the taxpayers money.
Just call Mohammed. He's done thousands of FGM slice-ups. He can easily whack off your jack off too!
When will the State of Kalifornia be declared an insane asylum? I might move their for $1 million, but then I’d move right back out.
And when they change back, ala bruce/caitlan/bruce, will we have to pay again?
Do TransTrans get their on restroom?
And we look back and judge that last century's practice of lobotomizing violent criminals was considered cruel and unusual. I can't imagine what history will say about this.
Gee I’m sure glad they’re not wasting my taxes on anything dumb and useless like upgrading dams and reservoirs or stuff like that.
California used to set future directions on all sorts of positive things.
Now, it points the way on drinking toilet water, “gender reassignment surgery,” gagging therapists who want to help homosexuals become heterosexuals, and other such matters.
authorize surgical procedures sought by transgender inmates who are suffering from severe mental problems.
By definition, don’t these “trans whatever” people suffer from severe mental problems??? Think about it.
As of today, I believe that this “gender dysphoria” is still considered a mental condition by the psychiatric profession.
At one time, homosexuality was considered a mental condition, but due to political pressures, it was deleted from the official categories of mental conditions. Maybe the same will happen with gender dysphoria. If it does, it will be a political move to make some political statement; it will not be done to assist the treatment of people who have these “trans” conditions.
What is the actual goal here for the left? What does this do to us as a nation to bring us down? I have read Lenin’s quotes and Aliskys. Which goal is this one?
-—...that would authorize surgical procedures sought by transgender inmates who are suffering from severe mental problems.-—
I guess severe mental problems no longer warrants sending to the funny farm?
“...the state, says each operation would cost $15,000 to $30,000.”
Like hell. The surgeries, the drugs, doctors, the psychiatrist, etc. Bet the real cost will be about 10X higher. The low dollar quoted is probably an attempt to make this seem like a trivial expense.
How about these confused folks get the surgery on their own dime?
Why don’t they just balls-for-boobs (or vice versa) swap meets in the prison yard once a month? Plenty of knives and pain killers available.
Does the ‘sex reassignment surgery’ fix their gender dysphoria? I didn’t think so. That must be why so many are suicidal. So how can this be a legitimate medical therapy?
The end result is providing more eunuchs and boy-toys for the burgeoning human trafficking+sex-slave industry, same as with illegal immigration (e.g. rentboys.com).
Aliskys=Alinsky
Thanks....never thought of that angle.
The California prison system will be giving the Nevada whorehouses some competition.
