A judge is being both praised and condemned because of a landmark ruling in which he has ordered gender reassignment surgery to an inmate in Massachusetts. Roger Kosilek, who now goes by Michelle, was born male but has been taking hormone treatments and currently stays at an all-male prison.
Supporters say that the ruling is a great example of recognizing that the surgery is a legitimate treatment for gender-identity disorder while critics call it an abuse of taxpayer money. Do you think it's OK for inmates to get gender reassignment surgery with taxpayer dollars?

+25Not only NO, but HELL NO. It's bad enough we taxpayers have to foot the bill for his/her food, clothing and shelter (and basic medical care), but it's beyond my understanding why any judge would rule that a felon's feelings are important enough to soak the taxpayers for a very expensive operation.

an dif we where at all like you, we would not hav ebeen competent enough to burn down your stinky whitehouse
the world loves canadians more then americans,
yep thats what it got us today!
the world would suffer for a short while but will recover, when america no longer is a super power!
im sure britain thougth the same when they held the super power position, but the world kept on spinning, countries kept a going, won't be any different when america fails or looses its control!
british people said the same as you! nazi germans said the same! was it true?
that is you buddy! and most americans
truth
when america lost vietnam, korea, 1812, and more
we aren't sissies like you want to make up about us!
You continue to undermine the significance of our presence. We are a major empire when it comes to international trade. Do you not realize how many countries receive funds from the US? Makes me sick to know these charities are not appreciated. We shouldn't be donating millions of dollars to another country when we could use that money to boost our public education system and economy.
america has TOO much control!
Scientists seem to have become the new "high priests" of our day. I can almost hear the hallelujah-chorus playing in the background, any time the word "scientist" is mentioned on the communist brainwashing tool, commonly known as the TV. That's why I often use instead the term "mad scientist," with all the negative connotations involved, Nazi scientists devoid of ethics, designing Frankenstein monsters or Franken-foods in secret government or corporate labs, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, etc.
So... when things like that happen & a baby is born with neither or both reproductive parts, what do you call that? It certainly must be a mistake of some sort, right? But God never makes mistakes, right?
What about all that leukemia going around in children's hospitals... is that a mistake, or is God playing games with people?
and how can you be born without any reproductive part? how do they go to the bathroom then?
Exactly how old are you? And you have yet to discover babies can be born intersex? Do you live in a shell?
now i know there are some girls who are born with male parts! but from my understanding those people are not who you are talking about
Women do not pee through their vaginas.
ugh.
