Gender and Intellectual Confusion
In news from the twilight zone, the asinine logic of a self-victimized mind mixed with a sexually confused society is a recipe for the preposterous.
BOSTON - A man serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife is asking a federal judge to order the state to pay for a sex-change operation for him, saying that denying him the surgery amounts to cruel and unusual punishment.
Since then, Kosilek has received psychotherapy, female hormone treatments and laser hair removal. Kosilek, who wears his hair long and tucked behind his ears, has developed larger breasts since beginning hormone treatments.
“I believe that she would kill herself,” Brown said, when asked by Kosilek‘s attorney what would happen if Kosilek does not have a sex-change operation.
The attorney’s line of logic is to be expected, but the fact that this guy is being turned into a living sex toy in a male prison is a criminal act in it’s self. I wonder who’s paying for this?

If the man did get a sex change operation, would he be housed in an all female prison? If she/he stayed in the male prison, she/he would certainly be beaten by the other inmates… yet what would the women think in an all female prison?
I guess I pose this question with regards to inmates that have had a sex change operation in general, and not just this isolated incident.

Wonder -
Because sex is more than just the genitals, even physiologically it permeates all aspects of the musculo-skeletal structure. It is also integrated into the brain structure, the endocrine system, the emotions, all they way down to the chromosomes. The presence of the Y chromosome, even when there are abnormalities, indicates the person is a male.
All of this is because femininity and masculinity are properties of the soul. Thus, one cannot have a sex change. It is rather a mutilation of the body. There are many reasons that there is a failure in some people to understand and accept their sexual identity as a man or woman. Sometimes incorrect hormonal exposure during gestation can cause the brain to develop a structure more in common with the opposite sex, nurturing factors also can play a part, such as especially weak fathering.
Any way, my point is that this reflects an affective/psychological disorder. Whether this disorder is a contributing factor to their reason for being in jail or not, for their safety these patients should be separated from the rest of the general prison population and treated so that they can eventually accept their identities as God made them.
