Evidently, four, count 'em four inmates at a prison in Minnesota were undergoing treatemnt for GID (that's Gender Identy Disorder) these four were (and the news did not say, but would assume) at various stages in their transformation ( male to female). Seems the state of Minnesota in their bid to cut costs cut this medical procedure from the budget. The four guys sued the state for discrimination. The case went to Federal Court and was over-turned and the state must now continue to pay for the transformation!!!
Win one for our side!!

Yeah!!!
That is definitely great news for the 'cause' - - sounds like that federal court has some intelligent justices sitting on the bench!!
However, I would not be the least bit surprised if the State of Minnesota is going to appeal that decision for a hearing by the Supreme Court. I hope they don't, though.
Did you see that news story on the web, Virginia, or on Fox's cable news?

That's great, but...
My big concern though is - I just hope that many TGs out there, desparate to transition but can't afford it, don't go out & commit a crime to get themselves in prison, all for the sake of SRS - paid for by the state.
Meanwhile, so many law-abiding TGs have to pay for it themselves.
