Inmate getting sex change needs facial hair removed, lawyer says

Convicted killer Michelle Kosilek’s facial hair was the subject of a lengthy hearing in US District Court today where a federal judge has already ordered the state to pay for Kosilek’s sex-reassignment surgery.

The attorneys for Kosilek argued before Chief US District Court Judge Mark Wolf that her electrolysis treatments, part of her gender transformation from male to female that includes a sexual reassignment surgery, should continue despite resistance from the Department of Correction.

Why is this thing in Norfolk? Move he,she,it 5 miles down the road to Walpole; into general population.

If the judge rules in the complainant's favor, I hope he rules that Kosilek's excess facial hair should be removed the same way I'd remove mine: individually, with a pair of tweezers.

Pkace ths wife killer in the general population.

The wife killer's taxpayer funded sex-change, in the state that hires a woman with 30 years straight of a driving offense every year as head of traffic safety, and can't wait to give law breakers a tuition break.   This state is flat out nuts.
