Prisoner Says Life Without Sex-Change Operation Is Cruel and Unusual Punishment
Every once in awhile there is a news story that makes me shake my head and say WTF! THIS is such a story. A woman trapped in a man's body is too much suffering for you to bear, huh? How about the suffering of the woman who was murdered by the man she loved and married? How about the suffering of the parents of this woman? I really do think that some punishments are too harsh, but the state is giving this inmate medical treatments including female hormones, and access to women's clothing in a male prision. However, that is not enough to stop you from feeling like a "circus freak"? So "murderer" is okay but "circus freak" is too much to bear?
