A federal appeals court has overturned a ruling ordering Massachusetts prison officials to provide taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery for an inmate convicted of murder.

Michelle Kosilek, born Robert Kosilek, has waged a protracted legal battle for the surgery she says is needed to relieve the mental anguish caused by gender-identity disorder. …

Doesn't like "her" manly parts? Most ranch supply stores carry a simple tool to cure that:

I sympathize with this person. I, myself, have gender-identity issues. I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.

from Wikipedia (use of pronouns is their choice):

Murder of Cheryl McCaul

Kosilek murdered McCaul in May, 1990. In October 1992, about two and a half years after the murder, Kosilek gave a series of recorded interviews to a reporter.[12] In one of these recordings, Kosilek stated that, on the day of the murder, McCaul had returned home to the couple's condominium in Mansfield, Massachusetts, and discovered Kosilek wearing McCaul's clothing. This enraged McCaul, and an altercation ensued. McCaul threw boiling tea at Kosilek, either at her face or her genitals, and Kosilek knocked McCaul down. McCaul grabbed a butcher's knife and chased Kosilek into another room, threatening to kill her. Kosilek picked up a piece of wire that had been on a table. Kosilek reported that the next thing she remembered was awakening, days later, in the psychiatric unit of a hospital. In the interview, Kosilek stated that she "probably, because of the trauma of it ... went into a blackout at that moment." She added, "Apparently, I did take her life. It was probably in self-defense." McCaul was 36 years old when she died.

Discovery of the body
On May 20, 1990, Cheryl McCaul's body was discovered in the back seat of her car. Her car was found in the parking lot of the Emerald Square Mall in North Attleborough, after the mall had closed for the night. McCaul's body was nude, and she had died by strangulation. Kosilek had strangled her with a rope and with a piece of piano wire, pulling so tightly that she nearly severed McCaul's head from her body.

Investigation and arrest
That evening, Kosilek called the North Attleborough police department, stated that wife Cheryl had not come home that evening, and asked whether there had been any report of a car accident in which she might have been involved. The police told Kosilek that they had found Cheryl's car, and they asked Kosilek to come to the police station. Kosilek agreed, requesting that an officer pick her up.

Kosilek was twice taken in for questioning, once that day, and once on Monday, May 21. During this second visit, the police informed Kosilek that she was a suspect in the murder, and that they, the police, had spoken with Cheryl's son. Kosilek informed the police that she was going to get a lawyer, and left.

Later that evening, just after midnight, On May 22, 1990, shortly after midnight, Kosilek crashed her car in Bedford. Police observed Kosilek in the driver's seat, dressed in women's clothing, having crashed into a stop sign and some bushes. The officer administered field sobriety tests, determined that Kosilek was not intoxicated, and called her a cab. Two days later, on the afternoon of May 24, 1990, police in New Rochelle, New York stopped Kosilek for speeding. The officer observed vodka and beer inside the car, smelled alcohol on Kosilek's breath, and arrested Kosilek. At some point, Kosilek remarked to the arresting officer, "You would be drunk too, if the police thought you killed your wife." Later, at the police station, Kosilek stated, "Look, I had (a fifteen year old son and) a wife. I can't call my wife. I murdered my wife. Now, I need to call a psychiatrist now." Kosilek was transported to the psychiatric unit of a New York hospital, and subsequently was brought back to Massachusetts by the Massachusetts State Police.

The abuse of the name “Lesbian” got so bad that natives of the island of Lesbos now call themselves Lesvonians.

Was the murderer a female in a lesbian ‘marriage’? Or was the murderer a male when the murder happened and then the male ‘became’ a non-male? I am so disgusted with degenerates that I don’t want to take the time to find the answers, so I’m asking you to clarify, please.

Was the murderer a pretend male, or a real male at birth? Degenerate sickos remain sickos, despite the psychiatry foolishness.

You are supposed to suffer mental anguish in prison.

Born a male, as Robert Kosilek. As Wiki. says she caught him wearing her clothing one day.



"After conviction"

He has been housed at a male prison and wanted to have the sex change operation and go into a female prison.

Yeah like this guy deserves to have a taxpayer funded sex change operation, especially after doing that to his wife...
