Crouched in her his cell, Ophelia De'lonta hoped three green disposable razors from the prison commissary would give her him what the Virginia Department of Corrections will not — a sex change.

It had been several years since she he had felt the urges, but she he had been fighting them for weeks. But like numerous other times, she he failed to get rid of what she hecalls "that thing" between her his legs, the last evidence she he was born a male.

Sorry, but I can't stand these ridiculous attempts to give validity to this sick creature's fantasies. Every single solitary cell in HIS body is a MALE cell no matter what HE cuts off or mutilates.

This is a mental illness

Yes it is. Of course, we're mean and trampling on trans-gender 'rights' for just saying so.

[trisham]

Agreed.

Another (two in two days) situation showing the need to return to the use of penal colonies for offender discipline. Drop this man in a remote location where he must rely upon himself and God's grace to survive. If he chooses to remove his penis instead of surviving, well that's his decision. But somehow I think his priorities will change when he has to fend for himself for food and shelter.

I have an old rusty pocket knife lying around here somewhere that I don’t need. I would be glad to send it to him./s/

Seriously though, Here we have a bank robber, drug user ,dangerous felon, who wants to cut off his penis.

They used to have mental institutions for dangerous crazed a-holes like this.

“They used to have mental institutions for dangerous crazed a-holes like this.”

A good point. Now we have diversity days to celebrate them

"By 17, she was robbing banks with the hopes of getting enough money to have a sex change operation."

Dog Day Afternoon redux.

Anyone who calls this man a “she”, should pay for its operation

In the case of many types of mental illness, I am not sure how much of the illness is a result of odd ideas that the person somehow picked up along the way, or of actual brain disorders. In the former case, therapy should be of great benefit.

That's a big question, and it's not politically correct even to look into the answers. If the problem is "odd ideas", then therapy should help a man with those ideas to accept the fact that his anatomy includes male parts. If the problem is brain chemistry, then I would expect the right medications to help. If the problem is a physical disorder, then it's harder to treat, but there may be either a form of therapy or a chemical that can help the person to adjust to the disability.

We have, for some bizarre reason, decided to treat the problem as the body not matching the brain, not as a physical/chemical/emotional problem in the brain, and sadly we're not even considering how to treat the real problem. I'm curious what the real answer is, but we'll have to wait until the hateful left moves on to "help" another group before we even look into how to help these people.

That “thing” is the last evidence? So, removal of the Prostrate with a disposable razor was successful?

[massgopguy]

Robbing banks for a sex change? Someone saw Dog Day Afternoon too many times.

[Venturer]

Today they don’t think a man who wants to cut off his dick is insane.

Now it is touchy-feely he really wants to be a woman.

Its. BullS-— is what it is. This criminal is crazy as a loon.

[Morpheus2009]

SO what is it with convicted criminals suddenly wanting a sex-change operation? You were busted, some things about life aren’t supposed to be that great. I would be willing to bet plenty of regular men would be disappointed that they couldn’t regularly get some woman every now and then either. What does this person want? Reduced punishment? A chance at a woman for a cellmate? Either way, this whole feeling that we somehow need to oblige to fill some person’s request for a procedure and lasting hormone therapies which I doubt are both cheap, is rediculous.

Robbing banks? Sounds like “Dog Day Afternoon”.
