A convicted wife killer serving life in prison is suing the State of Massachusetts for sex reassignment surgery, claiming that failing to provide it is “cruel and unusual punishment”. A previous US District Court ruling ordered the State to provide him with gender altering treatments of drugs, hormones and hair removal.

Incredible. So he’s essentially telling us that if he hadn’t murdered his wife, this would be his problem, and not ours?

This is where we are now, in such a state of deterioration, that the duty by the State to avoid “cruel and unusual punishment” is parsed to such extremes.

Oy vey and feh!

This is where I lose it, he wants sex change just cut his nuts off and he’s as close as he is going to get. Then after he has his sex change we have to put it in a woman’s prison,or leave hit with the boys so they can have little visits on the weekends.

OY VEY and FEH don’t cut it.

Good Lord I read some of the STUPIDITY that goes on out there and I get so angry that I stutter. I actually yell at the computer like it had anything to do with this insanity. Let’s revue he killed his wife because he is a murderer the fact that he is a what ever the hell he is becomes the responsibility of the taxpaying public?

He is in prison for murder if he was on the street he would have
to pay for his own surgery. So why does the prison owe him more than he could provide for himself?

Give him a medical book and a razor a couple of cotton balls and a little alcohol and let’s see how bad he wants it.

The real nut job is any IDIOT that is even entertaining the thought of providing this for him. If you tried to force it on him it would be cruel and unusual.

There are just not enough fowl words in any language that would make me feel like I have any relief.

I say give him the operation.....but a transfer to another prison is out of the question!

Oh you want to reward the he/she what ever. Transfering he/she would serve it right, all the equipment and none of the benefits. He’s in prison he can still have all the sex he wants without the stitches. I’s just not going to be what he had in mind.

loathesome man.  but who was the dufus judge who said he could get hormone treatments, hair waxing, etc.? given that boneheaded decision why wouldn’t the guy go for it?  somehow it seems to me that if you can put someone in prison and deny them a porcelain toilet without a charge of cruel and inhumane punishment...you can also deny them a sex change operation. what next?  breast implants for female offenders (because this guy is certainly gonna get them if he wins his case) to enhance their self-esteem?  oh lord.
