This is quite mind boggling to me. Honestly, in my opinion this is completely ridiculous. Here we are as a country scrambling for money, and racking up debt. Yet, a murder who is serving life in prison is able to get a transgender surgery? It makes no sense. However, from a sociology perspective it makes me wonder how the world got to this point. What influenced him to feel that he was born in the wrong body? Why/how has this been determined a psychiatric illness? Has the society really been affected so greatly to cause this to be brought to court, and the judge to actually rule for the defendent? It brings up so many questions, I could go on. I think that this is subject that should deffinately be explored.
