OMG.. that whole thing is driving me insane.

The woman is in a male prison. She has had to fight for every single aspect of trans-specific medical care that she's received. And now that a District Court Judge has decided that she should be allowed to have the surgery, the state is calling for the case to be appealed.

I'm curious as to how much money would have been saved if her treatments were just given the go ahead instead of years and years of court hearings.

Then again.. we can't be seen to be showing compassion to people in prison.
It's not like the degree of societies civilisation can be judged on the way we treat our prisoners.

Oh, wait...
