BOSTON — A convicted killer who has been waiting for years for a judge in Boston to rule on a request for a sex-change operation is now asking to be allowed electrolysis treatments.

Lacking detail. It says for additional electrolysis treatments. So what is wrong, half done, wants just to keep up debate or spend money not her own or wants hair removed that not even gg's lack. I understand her face but the rest, suffer, not my fault she is in prison in the first place.

BOSTON (AP) - A federal judge in Boston on Tuesday denied additional hair-removal treatments for a murderer who is seeking a taxpayer-funded sex-change operation, saying the inmate has failed to prove she will suffer "serious harm" without further electrolysis.

Michelle Kosilek also failed to prove that her rights have been violated by being denied hair-removal treatment, U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf said. Wolf, however, said he may revisit the issue if more information comes to light in state Department of Correction documents.

Kosilek, formerly known asRobert, is serving a life sentence for the murder of his wife, Cheryl, in 1990. He legally changed his name to Michelle in 1993 and has been living as a woman in an all-male prison.
