A federal judge today ordered state prison officials to provide a taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery to a transgender inmate serving life in prison for murder.
U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf ruled in the case of Michelle Kosilek, who was born as a man but has received hormone treatments and lives as a woman in an all-male prison. Robert Kosilek was convicted of murder in the killing of his wife in 1990.
Wolf is believed to be the first federal judge to order prison officials to provide the surgery for a transgender inmate.
Kosilek first sued the Massachusetts Department of Correction 12 years ago. Two years later, Wolf ruled that Kosilek was entitled to treatment for gender-identity disorder, but stopped short of ordering surgery. Kosilek sued again in 2005, arguing that the surgery is a medical necessity.

I will gladly do the job with my 45.
What a bone headed judge.
Pray for revival.
My tool is designed for big cattle spreads on a large open ranches. Considering how criminality is enshrined in substantial quantity in the People's Republic of Massachusetts, I definitely think my method is more appropriate.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a pincher, which is what my dad called the cattle and hog de-sexer!
This is the Federal judiciary telling Massachusetts what to do. Not the other way around. Grow up.
I know where Barney got his belt now.
Yet,
Hoping to encourage more Concord residents to drink tap water and reduce the number of plastic bottles piling up in the town landfill, Jean Hill has spent the last three years pushing for a ban on the sale of single-serving plastic water bottles. Her efforts paid off Wednesday when Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakleys office signed off on a bylaw that apparently makes Concord the first community in the nation to approve such a ban. - www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2012/09/05/office-concord-curb-sale-bottled-water/49I0osut8MyXh2WaCXc1wI/story.html
Apparently this judge is under the misconception that people in prison are supposed to be happy and filled with high self-esteem. I always believed they should be as uncomfortable as possible and suffer to the max. Now, prison is more like a country club.
ahhh good old burdizzo. We still my father-in-laws from the 50’s.
