Crouched in her cell, Ophelia De'lonta hoped three green disposable razors from the prison commissary would give her what the Virginia Department of Corrections will not — a sex change.
It had been several years since she had felt the urges, but she had been fighting them for weeks. But like numerous other times, she failed to get rid of what she calls "that thing" between her legs, the last evidence she was born a male.
Months after the October castration attempt, De'lonta filed a federal lawsuit Friday claiming the state has failed its duty to provide adequate medical care because it won't give her the operation. She says the surgery is needed to treat her gender identity disorder, a mental illness in which people believe they were born the wrong gender.
If she wins, De'lonta would be the nation's first inmate to receive a state-funded sex change operation. Similar lawsuits have failed in a handful of other states, and lawmakers in some states are trying to ban the use of taxpayer money for the operations.
WOW!
ReplyDeletegotta love liberal thinking. its always someone ELSE'S fault.
ReplyDeletegive it a rope and see if it can be successful! maybe save the taxpayers a ton of money!
ReplyDeleteword verification "thing" how poetic!
If she wants the operation then she should foot the bill herself. If she wins this case and the state pays for that operation then, once again, it is the taxpayer's money going to do it. First we were buying people's food for them, then we were paying people's electric bills for them, then we were pretty much paying them to stay at home and do nothing (welfare) and now we may have to pay for their sex-change. I want my boobs done. Who's willing to foot that bill?
ReplyDeleteshe is in jail she is virtually neutered in that respect
ReplyDeletewhat does it matter
sex changes are just silly I could see if we lived 500 years and ya got bored and wanted a change but this whole gender dysphoria
who the hell cares if you stand to pee or not or have breasts
I want a class change I want to wake up from surgery and be rich
poor homely people they change genders and make ugly men and ugly women
just get with the program people become lady gym teachers or interior designers and get on with your lives
and if your in jail
well your just in jail
you have no gender your a captive nothing go mop the cell block
What a disgrace and an outrage! What is this world coming too?
