Judge approves sex change for MA inmate serving life sentence for murder[views:2011][posts:6]___________________________________ [Sep 4,2012 1:13pm - Alx_Casket ""] http://www.boston.com/news/nation/2012/09/...e/GQuMgigpkE6y8OWSwHJ0QI/story.html Kosilek first sued the Massachusetts Department of Correction 12 years ago. Two years later, Wolf ruled that Kosilek was entitled to treatment for gender-identity disorder, but stopped short of ordering surgery. Kosilek sued again in 2005, arguing that the surgery is a medical necessity. In his ruling Tuesday, Wolf found that surgery is the ‘‘only adequate treatment’’ for Kosilek’s ‘‘serious medical need.’’ |
