A Wisconsin prisoner, serving 123 years for multiple armed robberies and stabbing another inmate, is suing the state, demanding it provide him with surgery needed to complete a sex change.
Scott Konitzer, who now uses the name Donna Dawn Konitzer after developing some characteristics as a result of state-paid hormone therapy is suing prison officials in federal court for not completing the process.
The Department of Corrections has been providing Konitzer, 40, with hormone therapy to stimulate female development since 1999 but will not permit genital surgery, according to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Konitzer says a prison doctor told him the surgery would follow the hormone treatments, and the refusal to follow through violates the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment. However, department policy prohibits the surgery.
Konitzer has been diagnosed with "gender identity disorder," a strong and persistent discomfort with birth gender and a desire to live as the opposite sex.Are we out of our collective freaking minds?!!?
The surgery necessary to complete the sex change can cost from $10,000 to $20,000.
I can't figure out who the biggest lunatic is in this story. Is it the crazed shrinks who came up with "Gender Identity Disorder"? The nut who wants his anatomy cut off? The attorney who took the case? The judge who is hearing the case? The cretins of Wisconsin that pay for this nonsense?
And you wonder why Al-Zarqawi is suspecious of "democracy".
