The Third Sex in Massachusetts (What do you call women trapped in a man's body and vice versa?)
American Thinker ^ | 02/08/2013 | Janet Tassel

One afternoon in May, 1990, Robert Kosilek murdered his wife, Cheryl. Brutally. He strangled her with piano wire, virtually decapitating her, and left her body in a mall parking lot in a suburb of Boston.

Since his conviction, Kosilek, now 64, has been serving a life sentence at Norfolk, a high-security prison for men. For years Kosilek has been a member of the "sisters," a particularly violent, sexually deviant subset of the prison population. But in 1993, Kosilek decided to do a complete makeover, changing his name to Michelle, letting his hair grow long, and dressing as a woman in an all-male prison.

Since 2000, when Michelle, diagnosed with a "gender identity disorder," sued the state for violation of the Eighth Amendment, ("cruel and unusual punishments") he has received female hormone therapy, electrolysis, and psychotherapy. In 2002, U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf, in a 129-page ruling, decreed that Kosilek was entitled to treatment of gender identity disorder, but stopped short of ordering sex-change surgery.

Last fall, however, Judge Wolf, after a decade of legal wrangling -- the legal fees exceed $700,000 -- decided that Kosilek, according to the Boston Globe, "is entitled to the surgery because it is a medically necessary treatment for her [sic] gender identity disorder." This surgery, to be paid for by the taxpayers, would cost somewhere in the vicinity of $50,000.

Then, last month, again according to the Globe, Wolf --"looking for any possible willful disobedience"-- ordered "the state's prison chief to swear under oath he is making an earnest effort to find a surgeon willing to perform gender reassignment surgery [on Kosilek]," to sign status reports detailing the search for a surgeon under oath, and to also swear under the pain of perjury that he has personally read Wolf's seven-page order."

No such thing as “a man trapped in a woman’s body” or vice-versa. It just doesn’t happen. People make decisions that are often influenced by many things, but ultimately- decisions.

Queers, since that's what they call themselves.

Robert Kosilek’s issue should have been resolved 22 years ago with 6 feet of rope.

But I agree with the author, transgender is a ‘make-believe’ problem.

Hunger, Muscular Dystrophy, and unemployment are examples of actual problems.

I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

Don't say that. It's much less funny than you think.

Here is one person who literally thought that ...

I can't be responsible for every hysteric with a homemade gender disorder.

“Robert Kosilek’s issue should have been resolved 22 years ago with 6 feet of rope.”

No kidding. And Norfolk is NOT high-security, it’s medium-security.
