Massachusetts Reviewing Judge’s Inmate Sex Change Ruling

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick says his administration is reviewing a judge’s ruling ordering state prison officials to pay for sex reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate.

Patrick said Monday no decision has been made on whether to appeal last week’s decision by U.S. District Court Judge Mark Wolf, who ruled the surgery was medically necessary to treat Michelle Kosilek’s "serious medical need."

Kosilek was born male but has received hormone treatments and lives as a woman in an all-male prison. He was named Robert when he was convicted of killing his wife in 1990 and is serving life in prison.  Full story here!

WGB:  Taxpayer money 100% should NOT fund a sex change for a convicted murderer.  I love my state but what the hell was this judge thinking???
