Convicted Killer Wants State To Pay For Sex Change
BOSTON (AP) ― A man serving a life sentence for murdering his wife is asking a federal judge to order the state to pay for a sex-change operation, arguing that denying him the surgery amounts to cruel and unusual punishment.
A psychiatrist testified Tuesday that he believes Robert Kosilek — who now goes by Michelle — will commit suicide if state corrections officials refuse to allow the surgery and Kosilek is unable to complete the transformation into a woman.
Kosilek, 57, was convicted of strangling his wife, Cheryl, in 1990.
In 2002, U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf ruled Kosilek was entitled to treatment for gender identity disorder, but he stopped short of ordering the state to pay for a sex-change operation.
Since then, Kosilek has received psychotherapy, female hormone treatments and laser hair removal.
It’s ok Wingnut, it’s understandable.
He should be housed exactly where he was when he received his sentence – with the men.
He forfeited his rights when he took someone else’s life–depriving them of their ultimate right. I’d say death by strangling is a pretty cruel and unusual punishment for his wife. Strangling is an awful, painful, slow way to die.
It’s not the state’s responsibility to coddle him, pay for non-essential surgeries, or treat him with kid gloves. If he wants to complete the circle of travesties by taking one more life–his own–he’s welcome to do so.
