>> ...what makes me ill is when I hear stories of prisoners getting operations like that and costing the tax payers thousands of bucks. <<

As liberal as I may sound I still think prison is prison and prisoners are prisoners. I am torn on this one though. I am for paying for the drugs and operations that keep people alive be it from heart disease or what have you. But even for me the idea of paying for a prisoner to change his or her gender makes me cringe. However, sex reassignment surgery CAN be as life saving as a heart transplant. They call it gender dysphoria and it is as life threatening as a heart attack, depression, or any other illness even though they hate calling it an illness.

Hmmmmm,
