Inmate Demands for Sex Change

So basicly, a man/woman that is a murderer is suing California, demanding the state to pay for her sex change operation and move her to a safer women's prison. Lyralisa Stevens has live as a femalewith sex hormnes since 2003, when she began a 50 year-to-life sentence for shooting a women over a arguement over clothing. Officials say that they are not responsible for any operations like that. She has had silicone injections on her hips and breasts. Steven says "The male inmate is not expecting to see breasts in the shower next to him,"
   When a study was made they found out that California prisons house some 300 imates with gender identity disorder. Imates like this are 13 times more likely to be sexually assaulted in prison. In 1999 court ruled that prisons had to continueto provide hormone therapy to imates that were already taking hormones when they arrived at a cost of some $1000 for each prisoner. Now, for a sex change operation is much more money, it could cost as much as $50,000.

Opinion: I definetly don't think they shoould allow this to happen. She should of thought about what it would be like in a male prison as a transgender person before murdering a woman over clothing.  Shes grown enough to mknow the consiquences, there should be no pitty.
