So does that mean if I ever go to the joint I'll have the right to all the plastic surgery I need to look like Robert Redford?

This is a judge in need of being removed from the bench - any chance for a recall?

Another example of nutty judge just making up things. Never in our entire history was trans-genderism considered a right. This is baloney.

"Transgender inmates have right to therapy."

How about this. Go to prison give up your rights. Better yet the taxpayers have a right not to pay for it. We are already supporting your worthless a@@.

Why not go the cheaper way out and just get some ministers to come to the prison and tell them to quit the sinning?

The article doesn’t state what the hormones being administered are.

But I would guess that if the shemale cons were given testosterone, it might help shake the men out of the notion that they were “women” and bring a bit more order and sanity to the penitentiary.

I don’t this decision as a total negative, except for labeling this as a “right”.

Or, you could just die. In a few years, you would have the "Redford-look."

You want therapy. I give you therapy.

You get two cellmates. One is the biggest, baddest dude from the men's prison. The other is the biggest, baddest mama from the "ladies'" prison. They are told you cannot make up your mind whether you are a man or a woman. They are told they have been assigned as your cellmates to help you make up your mind.

The therapeutic results will be released in thirty days or or concurrently with the autopsy results, whichever first occurs.

They may opt for “Rectal Rearrangement Surgery”, by moving it to the front. Silicone breast implants, then whisker pulling, and Presto!

Meet the new “HO” of cell block H!

Maybe they should have tried some real therapy (and not the GLBT - whatever - agenda quacks) for their mental disorder in the first place. “Sheesh” is right!

Unelected federal judges just flick away state laws as if they were no more than lint, as if the law did not go through a long process involving the representatives of the people.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

I do so wish that a governor would tell a federal jerk off judge to shove it up its a$$.
