Creative Minority Reader: A Giant Step for Transgendered Inmates

Thank goodness this national horror of inmates not having taxpayers fund inmates sex change operations is nearing its end:

A U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has given new life to a lawsuit by a transgender inmate who wants the Virginia Department of Corrections to provide a sex change operation. The court ruled that Ophelia De'lonta stated a "plausible" claim that the Virginia Department of Corrections violated a constitutional right to be evaluated for sex reassignment surgery. The ruling allows Ms. De'lonta's case to move proceed even though it had previously been dismissed by the district court.
