BOSTON—A killer who sued to have a sex change claims her body is becoming more masculine again because she's being denied treatment in prison as she awaits a ruling in her bid for the surgery. Michelle Kosilek, formerly known as Robert, said that for months she has not been allowed to have court-approved hair-removal treatment or access to a specialist to discuss her testosterone levels.

I agree, they sould keep the suppression treatment or HRT current... but for laser or electro or anything else like that... it should come out of the inmates pocket... if they have any money left....  And GRS while in prisson...  Maby if it was already paid for and schedualed before being incarserated... but dont expect the state to pay for it...

Free citizens in the US dont get free surgery... an incarserated criminal shouldnt either...  I do understand this person claimed self defence, but still....
