WTH? Taxpayer-paid sex changes?

Dear TechnOteen, I do have concerns regarding 'Inmates get tons of medical and physical interventions for non life-threatening conditions that would make them more comfortable'

I live in California, and there is a severe and ongoing lack of medical, dental, optical, psychiatric care here for incarcerated people.
The situation is always blamed on lack of money.
As for making these people more comfortable, if that means controlling pain from an illness or infection, curing that illness or infection, supplying competent psychiatrists and counsellors, we owe them that. Those are not luxuries.

My personal belief is that someone suffering from a dental abscess or uterine fibroids, for instance, takes precedence over anyone whose transgender issue does not create systemic infection that causes constant physical pain, and which can cause death, ultimately.

To me, it is a matter of financial priority, and, like in Emergency Care, take care of the sickest and most life-threatening condition first.

Transgender, is a real thing, just as intersex is. Not everyone is born male or female, and many do not think of themselves as male or female.

Tradition says, no dong, raise it as a girl. It is a sex role without the sex behavior. while some have nothing we recognize, some have both.

Behavior has been by choice, taking on sex roles, identity, dress, without the ability to have physical sex.

Like Autism, this is obvious to all around, but is easier to hide under a skirt.

I too would have my doubts about someone who just discovered their Autism, after being convicted of murder, given a life sentence.

What stories I have heard of transgender, the person and their family knew it from early childhood.

Somehow, this is not the story of a woman born with male sexual development, that lived as a woman from childhood. History has many cases of males or females living as the other sex, and passing for life. Scientific publication, cracked.com, has articles.

The ability of medical transexual full transformation is recent, MTF, and something like making a blow up doll. Not a transplant of the full female organs that would self supply hormones, and perhaps children?

It requires a lifetime of hormone treatments, and is closer to those asian girls that have their eyes enlarged, lips, chins, noses reduced, so they can look like anima characters. Or perhaps those who get full body tattoos, horn implants, elf ears, split tongues, and other cosmetic transformations.

Then comes what I think a natural intersex space. As an employer I am required to be non sexual by law, and as a person, by choice. I have shown a lifetime lack of interest in doing a sexual dance with everyone who comes along, reserving that for a select few, and considering the over sexualization of culture to something recent, marketing based, broad spectrum hedonistic acting out. I will go for a bit of that, but not all the time, in all directions, with everything around.

One of the traditional values of prison was denying inmates sex. As punishment. Transforming one prisoner into a female, even willingly, would lead to having to keep them in solitary confinement.

We are talking about murders doing life, Ripley, Aliens II, those kind of guys. Like the guy just convicted of killing his second wife back, with his most recent missing, and I think a first one he said run off with a truck driver, and maybe four hookers down by the docks over the last six years, and other women have vanished, so finally a jury convicts, sends him away for life. A whole building of these guys.

Just by random numbers, a building full of men who have killed several women apiece.

Becoming a woman there is grounds to leave. The choices are life in solitary confinement, cruel and unusual, transfer to a women's prison, if transexual has that legal status, or to a Mental Hospital where Doctors are easier to con than Federal Judges, much easier than that Parole Board, who believes life means life.

Charlie never killed anyone, but the whole Manson family is denied parole.

Since one of the main features of prison is single sex, denial of sex seems equal and much cheaper to just leave the lifer a man, who is free to have what ever brain wiring includes being a mental transexual and murderer.

Having the physical features of a blowup sex doll, will change nothing, Hormone treatment is something he never had, and does not need, as he claims to be female already.

Not to be uncaring, but I am, this is just a killer doing life looking for a way to get transferred to a Mental Hospital, with better chances of release, excape, or at least getting to kill some more women.

As The State, I would rather spend the money on taking this to a higher court. The Plaintiff claims to be a woman. If so, she was convicted and sent to prison for life for murder, while wearing the body of a man, and that life sentence should be served as convicted. We cannot punish the mind, alter the body, we can only confine the body that was convicted.

My other question would be, if during a period of freedom there had been a sex change operation, hormone treatment, then murder and conviction, where would the prisoner serve their sentence?

Sex change is cosmetic, the DNA is still male. Would hormone treatment continue at public expense?

Okay then, the bottom line, because I know I've miffed off a lot of people, and maybe they deserve an explanation.

I am thoroughly pissed at the injustice of a convicted felon receiving what amounts to elective cosmetic surgery at taxpayers' expense, when I can not convince my paid insurance carrier to cover the costs of the corrective surgery that I personally need to restore full function and capability to my left hand ("Sorry Mr. Fnord, what you want is elective surgery, which we do not cover"). He wants to look like a woman, while I just want to be able to use both hands to dress myself, do my work, and caress my wife. This is NOT justice, this is a travesty!

Why should a useless criminal get any more consideration for what he wants than a useful citizen gets for what he needs? He is a criminal for dog's sake! Whether he looks like a man or a woman, he is still an effing criminal!

So "WAAH EFFING WAAH" for that parasite; may he rot and die in prison.
