Judge orders sex change for Mass. murder convict

[EnglishLady]

BOSTON (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday 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.

I believe some inmates would perform the procedure for free.

if you're in prison for life, and it's been confirmed 100% you're guilty of whatever, you should have a spare hole put in your head.

I'm confused, so can he/she play 'drop the soap with Bubba' or not ?

Definitely a judge that has no business on the bench. That's insane.

Any wonder that the Nation is broke? The people of MA should stop paying their taxes if this takes place. Then we should ALL join them.

I'm still trying to figure out how this even made it to a court room in the first place?
