BOSTON (CBS/AP) Denied!
Convicted transgendered killer Michelle Kosilek's request for state-funded electrolysis treatments were shot down by a federal judge last week.
U.S. District Judge Mark said that the pretty-in-pink jailbird failed to prove "irreparable harm" or a "serious medical need" for a hairless body in prison.
Kosilek hung his head and dabbed at his eyes when Wolf announced the decision.

Stay classy, Ryan Smith.
So this person kills his wife, dumps the body at some shopping center, and it's the writer who is not being classy? Odd choice of outrage target.
And this moron's lawyer is as farking stupid as his client.
The convicted murderer's lawyer expressed disappointment to the judge, and had argued that having facial hair is "intensely personally stressful" to her client.
Like being in jail in the first place is not somehow "intensely personally stressful"? I taught off and on for years in a prison. Medium security, low level threat, mostly drug offenses, and being in Iowa, it was mostly for cooking meth. I never once felt unsafe in there. I never was threatened, or felt paranoid. But let me tell you, that every time you walk through the sallyport and those doors shut behind you - you will find it "intensely personally stressful". The entire fricking architecture and structure of a prison is designed to be "intensely personally stressful". I mean in all those years I went into a prison I never once found anything in there that was like "a mellow space to kick back and chill."

Quote from: tekla on December 01, 2009, 01:15:00 PMWhat Kosilek did was horrible and she deserves punishment. However, this doesn't mean that journalists should be permitted to indulge in anti-trans language and rhetoric.

I just went back and re-read it, twice. There is none of that in there. Saying something negative about a person who is trans, is not an attack on the entire community.
