A man living as a woman, in a all male prison in Norfolk, VA, has asked a federal judge to provide additional electrolysis treatments as she awaits a decision on whether she can get a taxpayer funded sex change operation. "Michelle" who was convicted of killing her wife Cheryl in 1990, and is serving a life sentence, claims having "facial hair" is "intensely personally stressful to her." She has already had seven previous electrolysis treatments. Kosilek first sued the Department of Correction in 2000, saying its refusal to allow a sex-change operation violates the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment. In 2002, Wolf ruled that Kosilek was entitled to treatment for gender identity disorder - including hormone treatments, laser hair removal and psychotherapy - but stopped short of ordering surgery. Kosilek sued again in 2005, saying the treatments were not enough to relieve her anxiety and depression. Any discussion on THIS ?
