In 2002, the option for “transgender surgery” was not on anybody’s list of mainstream medical treatment. And it should not be today.
Now, if a simple castration were to be performed, that would satisfy the urge and need for reducing the sex drive of the miscreant, but this is held to be mutilation, and probably illegal in many venues of Western jurisprudence.
Contrary to popular opinion, there is no “right” to have body modification surgery of any kind while being held as a prisoner for felony or even misdemeanor criminal convictions. There is a right to lifesaving medical treatment, but “transgender” does not fall into that category. Such pursuit of what is only a fantasy does not meet the standard of essential lifesaving medical services.
Let this biological male stew in the juices of his own body, without enhancement and without apology.
Indiana should offer to meet them halfway and pay for castration.
