For transgender prisoners, hormones seen as matter of life and death


 
Self-castration, suicide and waves of desperation are byproducts of the denial of sex hormones to inmates yearning to switch genders, advocates say.

But outside the walls, debate has been stirred on whether the prison system is the right place to help chemically escort a man to womanhood, or vice versa, and critics question if any taxpayer money should pay for the hormones used to help inmates undergo sex changes.

Thursday's revelation that convicted secret leaker Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman and begin hormone therapy ignited talk about what happens when prison doctors refuse hormones to inmates with gender identity disorder (GID): depression, death wishes, purposely amputated genitalia and, for those already en route to a new gender, the return or disappearance of certain male or female traits — from body hair to muscles to breasts.

The Army does not provide hormone therapy to such prisoners. At the very least, this significantly delays Manning's plan to physically morph into "Chelsea" -- as he's been sentenced to 35 years in Fort Leavenworth prison.

OMG this is just plain crazy. Now all of a sudden sex change operations and hormones are an unalienable right that must be provided by the taxpayer to criminals.  :mental:

6. I suppose to certain kinds of people, that's true; your ilk does

believe in making prison hell.

that's sick and disgusting in my book.

Well if prison is unpleasant then maybe some folks will think twice before committing crimes. Kind of like how you DUmmies want to take away money from the rich to discourage them from being successful.

14. No medical care? You are completely over the top.

I never said that, and you are driving away people who support LGBT rights.

You have gone over the edge. You are no longer posting rationally.

13. Medical Care... in military jail is DEFINED by the Militarty Court.

If you don't like the way it is defined, don't come yelling at me!
Military jail time does not support hormone therapy.

It also doesn't support dental implants (you get dentures).



Don't like then law, go change it.

Stop being a whiner on an internet blog!

15. You compared medical care with getting 50' TV and a pair of slippers. Care to explain that?

Hormonal treatment and gender reassignment surgery ARE basic necessary medical treatments.

27. Hormonal treatment IS a medical care. You on the other hand think it's equivalent of 50' TV.

Or a new hair dryer. Or a pair of slippers.

Care to explain your comment?

The DUmmy was kind enough to throw in a screenshot.


These people are just insane. The word of the day at DU is transphobia and anyone who dares think that Bradley Manning doesn't deserve to have his sex change paid for is worse than George Zimmerman.


I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Private Chelsea Cupcake is not going to get his deweinerization done at Leavenworth. Munson Army Health Center has no trannifying doctors on staff.

I have an idea for the lurking DUmmies: If it is important to you that Private Chelsea Cupcake gets his girlifiction, start saving your pennies now. When he gets out of Leavenworth, he can get pussified*- and you can pay for it!

Hey Kids!!!!  Let's put on a show!!!!!!!

These DUmbasses are going to run around like this, wringing their hands and pining after an impossible goal.  Meanwhile, the general public will turn away in revulsion.

Chelsea will get a lot of hormone injections....testosterone from Bubba.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Yes! It's an ideal project for the Wishadoo! scam.

And they could kill two birds with one stone.

Cut off Manning's dick, and sew it onto UGP!

Manning could be the world's first dick donor.

What a beautiful liberal story of giving that could be. The folks at Wishadoo! would love it.

It* is a basic human right.

*It is anything a lib asserts to be "it".
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
