Being forced to pay for this freaks SRS. What in the hell is this world coming to?
Judge Orders California to Pay for Inmate's Sex Change
"A federal judge on Thursday ordered California's corrections department to provide a transgender inmate with sex change surgery, the first time such an operation has been ordered in the state. .."
"..."This decision confirms that it is unlawful to deny essential treatment to transgender people" in or out of prison, said Kris Hayashi, executive director of the Transgender Law Center. "The bottom line is no one should be denied the medical care they need."
If the order stands, Norsworthy would be the first inmate to receive such surgery in California, said Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the federal receiver who controls California prison medical care.
Hayhoe said it's not known how much the surgery would cost, but it could run as high as $100,000 depending on the circumstances.
I wholeheartedly agrre that inmates get the medical care they need, BUT REALLY!?...a sex change is medically necessary? Gimme a break.
