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

Creep.
Would Laz hit THAT!?
A little glimmer of sanity in Messachusetts.

This subject is crazy. Prisoners lose certain rights when incarcerated. Even if we want to say that obamacare needs to cover these sex change operations, that only applies to people on the outside, not people in prison.
He is in prison and he is that distressed he doesn’t have private hidden girl parts??? What the heck???
I know. It’s been fifteen years since I left there, and this is the first I’ve seen since i left.
Incorrect supposition. Your 'medical needs' are based on a psychological desire or disorder. The other persons medical needs are based on a physical defect or injury. Slice of your Johnson and your 'medical need' to not bleed to death will be handled post-haste with a cautering iron.
sex changes are not necessary healthcare. period.
Remember the old days where sh*t like this would laying in the ground by now with an extra long neck?
I am all for castration/neutering.
