Sex Change for Murdering Your Wife?
This post is off the beaten path but it does have to do with politics and the bad wrap the folks in Massachusetts get being a very Liberal state. When it comes to crimes like murder there is no politics or theology that gives a pass too it. If you kill someone in the Bay State you will serve life in prison. We do not have the death penalty option in Massachusetts. There is no gray area in a left leaning mindset or right leaning mindset when it comes to killing another human being. Jailed for life is what you get.
Here is the case of a husband that was convicted of killing his wife in cold blood and claims the state is suffering onto him cruel and unusual punishment while in jail because after his three square meals, clothing, and a roof over his head that he deserves a sex change operation at the states epxpense.
My good friend for life over at the Gun Toting Liberal had my blood boiling on this issue. We tend to do that to one another simply because he beat me to this article this time. He has a different spin on it than I do but I think we are still on the same page. Mind you, we are both very Liberal opinionated people for the most part. Over at the Boston Herald they have this to say about the so called poor treatment of Robert Kosilek…
Judge grants hearing for killer seeking better sex change care in prison
A judge today granted a hearing to a convicted murderer who says she’s being denied medical treatment in prison as she awaits a ruling in her bid for sex change surgery.
U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf ordered a March 13 hearing in the case of Michelle Kosilek, formerly known as Robert. Kosilek asked for the hearing after claiming she’d been denied hair removal treatment and access to a specialist to discuss testosterone levels. She said as a result her body is becoming more masculine. - Boston Herald
Is it not already a given fact that convicted prisoners in Massachusetts already have a better medical plan than most of the citizens? Don’t get me wrong, they are wards of the state for the crimes THEY committed but this goes beyond dental care! Murder is murder no matter how you look at it from any political perspective. This man planned HIS wife’s murder in cold blood. Lied about it to the children they brought forth into this world and HE wants special circumstances while serving life in prison? That does not wash with this Liberal Democrat and it should not wash with you from any political view point.
Prison is for people that committed and were convicted by a jury of their peers for heinous crimes against society, like oh say murder. And Bob Kosilek murdered his wife. What about her? What about the children she left behind? He killed their Mother!
This monster is making the crime he committed secondary in public opinion and murder is still murder but his sex change is more important to him? Screw him or she or whatever group you want to claim he is part of. He killed his wife! This is not a transgender argument as much as it is a manipulative monster using up court time for something that should be a simple answer. NO! You can not have a sex change operation!
It makes me sick to think that one in four of our veterans coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan will end up on the street homeless from various mental health ailments and yet this state is actually considering this bastard being treated inhumanely?
I’m not sure if the States Attorney General or Governor Deval Patrick can intercede but they should. This is ridiculous.

I agree with you 100% on this! I suppose he should be provided with adequate medical care but certainly nothing beyond that!
To deny him this operation isn't cruel. What's cruel is that after killing his wife he is trying to play the role of the victim!
I have no pitty for murderers Lefty and maybe that makes me a bad person. Either way, I can't afford surgery on my eyes so I can see without my glasses so why on Earth would the state even consider thinking about this mans choice of elective surgery simply because he is in jail?
Thanks for the comment my friend.
When you ask the average taxpayer if they'd like to pay for sexual reassignment surgery for a convicted murderer, of course the response to that query is going to be negative. However, the reality is that the surgery would cost $20,000, while the litigation over this matter has already cost 3 or 4 times that amount.
This begs the question, what's more twisted and reprehensible... the fact that Kosilek wants a sex change, or our entire judicial process?
I have to agree with you HW and that this man should be spending his life sentence in a mental health prison. I'm not sure where he is incarcerated but the original Judge in the murder trial I believe could have stipulated the where and for how long.
Great point!
It is very simple ...If we had executed the SOB then this would be a mute point .....Bring back "OLD SPARKY"
I just can't help but wonder, what would happen to this man if he is granted a sex change. Will he then be transfered to a womrns prison? Woudnt that be like putting a child molester in a room full of children.
