(Heather Clark – Christian News) A federal judge nominated to the bench by then-President Barack Obama has ruled that the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DoC) must allow a male inmate who identifies as a woman to obtain taxpayer-funded “sex reassignment” surgery, no matter how controversial the matter might be.
“The rights of transgender persons and sex reassignment surgery remain politically controversial, even outside the prison context,” wrote U.S. District Judge James Peterson, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“And some members of the public are outraged at any effort to improve the health and well being of inmates,” he said. “But the true public interest lies in alleviating needless suffering by those who are dependent on the government for their care.”
