John Hopkins did a study of those having sex-change operations many years ago. The idea was that some poor souls were in distress because of their sex status. The study indicated that the operations did’nt really improve the patient’s disposition.

I wonder if it will also demand transfer to an all women correctional facility after the operation…

Life is tough. Especially when you’re an inmate.

I’m sure it’s being argued that this is not elective surgery. It is surgery necessary for the mental well-being of the patient, without which s/he will suffer psychological torment. Thus, it is both cruel and unusual to deny the surgery.

I think someone needs to explain the difference between “prison” and “Club Med” to somebody. You have NO right to elective surgery.
