This case is, as many have argued before, rather simple to figure out. Inmates get healthcare, this is a health procedure, the inmate is entitled this procedure.

And to be honest, I can't think of many things worse than feeling you are in the wrong body. People with gender disorders probably go through all sorts of hell personally and publicly. Think about it logically, are you going to carve up your genitals without a lot of thought or on a whim? Probably not. Is it just a case of wanting to look different or better? No. It's a serious problem and health issue.

The big problem is, as a few people have pointed out, is how the American healthcare system is completely messed up. Perhaps regular citizens should get more, perhaps inmates should only get emergency care, who knows. The answer is very complicated with plenty of possible solutions, and you can bet there is going to be a loud outcry no matter what is decided.

But two things. One, this ruling makes perfect sense in the laws as they are set up now and is a good step forward for equal rights. And two, people with gender disorders truly have a serious problem.
