So Idaho will be hit with a massive fine and make the situation worse for themselves.


Not under this administration.

Yes, even under this administration they'll be punished for ignoring a supreme court order and breaking the law.

Don't be so sure about that.

It's not going to reach the federal level since this is a ruling from the state court, so this crap administration won't touch it.

A person is trying to castrate themselves, they need medical care. The person is in prison, therefore the prison is responsible for it. Seems pretty reasonable.

Its completely unreasonable. Id rather my taxpayer money go towards someones surgery who is not a criminal in prison.

Wait what

You think people in prison shouldn't get medical care?

Prisoners with broken legs shouldn't get treated? Diabetics shouldn't get insulin? Prisoners with heart attaks shouldn't get coronary artery bypass surgery?

I can't agree with that for a second, what kind of take is that?

Quote where I said any of that.

Except that's the thing. You aren't even arguing for preferential treatment(which, by the way, they absolutely still have) you're arguing that because they get something you don't, nobody should get it.

This sets a bad precedent if upheld: can't afford SRS? Commit a crime that lands you in prison and demand the state pay for it citing the 8th if they refuse.

I don't think that's a realistic concern.

People aren't going to go to prison let alone become sex offenders just for free gender surgery.

I think you're only thinking that way because you're reading the story online and aren't seeing the day to day life of being in prison, going through court, what it does to your family, your career prospects etc


People intentionally get caught for shelter and food.

Honestly, this seems to be an act of guilt and shame that they couldn't stop themself from going on to someone underaged.

That might explain the selfcastration attempts then you might not like being a nutless man

Speaking as someone who has worked for years with the homeless, drug addicts and people with mental health problems, who directly knows people who have chosen homelessness over housing and wanted to stay in prison.

I have never heard of anyone ever commiting sexual assault of minors to go to prison.

It's not a factor.

On the one hand, we need universal health care in this country, and srs should be a part of it.

On the other hand, why should this woman get srs for free for committing a crime, when law-abiding citizens who are transgender have to pay it themselves or get insurance?

She shouldn't get it for free (or on the government's dime) until everyone who needs it can as well.

But yeah, send her to a female prison.

And if they were a type 1 diabetic we would be obligated to get them insulin.

But the medical professionals involved in this case said its unnecessary.

It's an expensive cosmetic procedure that may help the mental wellbeing of the patient. Not a vital medical one. That means it shouldn't be up to the tax payer to fund.

I have had really bad depression for the last 10 years of my life. I have been unhappy and missed out on a so much, despite this I never committed crime because I'm not a self absorbed asshole, tell me why am I, less deserving of the country bending over backwards to pay 30-40k to help me?

Hell it would've taken much much less, just somebody to talk to at all times, but instead I lost years alone and afraid, and nobody fought to help me get better.

Prison is unpleasant. Unless you will die without medical care, it's not really the prison's problem.

It's moronic that criminals would get better care than law abiding people.

Legally this post is completely and utterly wrong. Courts have ruled for centuries now that prisoners have the right to humane treatment and basic needs (food, water, proper shelter, medical care). You'd be laughed out of any court in the civilized world for saying the bilge you just spewed out your ass.

They didn't say anything about not getting basic needs. Just that prison isn't all puppies and unicorns. Even the prisoner's doctor said that SRS isn't medically necessary for this person.

Medical care is a basic need. That includes both mental and physical. This qualifies as medical care. Ergo, we are legally and morally obligated to provide this regardless of your ignorant nd vaguely transphobic opinions of the procedure.
