Tough shit. This person murdered a father of three. I don’t really care about their peace of mind.

Congrats on mistaking me for a anti-trans conservative. I think trans people should have the surgery they need to make them whole, and get the cost covered. I don’t think trans murderers in jail should get free surgery.

Great. Now, let’s see how many female inmates demand sex reassignment surgery and a transfer to the men’s unit.

I’m betting we can check back in 20 years and that number will still be zero.

During the recent Tilda Swinton/Margaret Cho debacle, several Jezebel posters started bleating about “white feminism” whenever anyone pointed out that Cho had grossly misrepresented the conversation. People were so afraid of being accused of “white feminism” that they kept twisting themselves in knots to find some way…

Not against this but I’m surprised this is being labeled a “life-saving” operation as she is the one trying to take her life. Like if I tried to hang myself cos my nose is too big, rhinoplasty would become a life saving operation? I wonder why this is treated differently then say, that body dysmorphic disorder. They…

I’m worried that Quine expects “drastic, internal completeness” from this surgery. My understanding of transitioning is that it doesn’t guarantee anything. Some people find it helpful, but some continue to have the same mental health problems they had before the surgery. Some even detransition again because…

This got on my tits too. There is nothing “naturally female”about wearing makeup, scarves, nighties. Some womend do some don’t. It is not necessary to be in the club. I can’t see a single legit reason why men and women should not have equal access to these items. Or frankly none at all. No one needs makeup to live.…

Some good advice, that you should aim towards this CONVICTED MURDERER. I’ll gladly be the first to call this pile of human garbage a “fucking freak”, not because of the proposed surgery mind you, but because this animal chose to actively take the life of another human being. Where was her empathy?

Healthcare issues asside, what is this sexist bullshit? I never wear any of these things and I am female. You know what I wear? Bras and menstrual pads. Those are the only specific female itmes I can think off that I wear. Sheez why does “being female” always gets reduced to stereotypes?

I’m willing to step outside my nice polite Old Lady self that I’ve always been here just to say What The FUCK are you thinking, CA? I say this as a native SoCal Gal, born and raised behind the Orange Curtain of Suburbia.

Exactly. And I am a liberal person.

As a transgender woman, I’m very uncomfortable with this. If you commuted murder, let alone kidnapping, you should not have access to this surgery. All this does is drag the rest of us through the mud honestly.

When somebody murders someone in cold blood, its pretty easy to lose empathy for that person.

If a woman in prison needs to have a mastectomy, is she given reconstructive surgery at no cost? If they are going to pay for this, then it absolutely should be. What constitutes “medically necessary”? Because let’s be honest, you can get insurance to cover a lot of things that are “to make you more comfortable” with…

So, just murder some folks, get the surgery, and you should be eligible for parole after a few decades. Easy!

I wish Shiloh Quine had had some empathy for Shahid Ali Baig and his family.

me, too.

Nah, I can’t get behind this one. You got taxpayers (including victim’s family) paying for a surgery that isn’t absolutely necessary. There are many transgender folks, who aren’t murderers, that are much more deserving. Maybe we should just tell the law abiding trans community that if they want to have the surgery,…

I have no problem with the medically necessary surgery being performed, but necklaces? I am kind of surprised that women are allowed to wear necklaces in prison at all. Can anyone shed any light on that kind of thing? How much jewelry are prisoners generally allowed, both male and female? I can understand a scarf to…

I...hmm.
