Ergh, that is why we should bring the coliseum back and have criminals fight to the death for our joy.
I'd be perfectly happy for a person to be rehabilitated by any means necessary. It's not anti-productive if this person manages to get over his problems by becoming a woman. The article states that he's wanted the operation for a long time. And anyway, rape isn't as common in prison as people like to think. Vulnerable prisoners are kept in a separate wing. There's hardly any chance for rape to occur.Mansur said:I would think that you would be upset that the money that you worked for is being spent on anti productive projects like a prisoner getting a sex change because he has some issues. But if you are in prison already then you are bond to have issues, so lets fix every prisoners problems through the works of surgery.JanatUrlich said:I agree with the judges decision 100%
This person obviously has very deepseated gender issues and leaving them in a male prison will only aggravate these problems. The sex change in the female prison may help them be rehabilitated into society which is the obvious goal of all prisons
After that is passed prisoners can get penis enlargement surgery because they felt insecure.
:/
If I remember correctly in Psychology you are told that it isn't the gender of someone that is decided at birth it is the Sex.Epitome said:I find the entire concpet of changing ones gender to be seriously flawed. For a start its superficial and having the desire to mutilate ones genitals and take maunfactured steroids does not entile one to have special treatment, especially when its on somebody elses money. Serious why sould the taxpayer front a convicted killers psycological issues. If he was not in jail he probably couldnt afford the surgery he requires and even then he wouldnt get any recognition for it. Gender is decided at birth, its not something you get a vote on , its one of the things in life you have to just deal with.
That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Maybe have murders fight each other, while rapist fight wild animals. Lions, tigers, bears, o my.(bad joke, but I like it)akwardwhistle said:Ergh, that is why we should bring the coliseum back and have criminals fight to the death for our joy.
If you want to look at trans women as not women, then I wont look at people like you as whatever you say YOU are. I am merely doing the same as you. Sex and Gender are two different things. Gender is not based on one's crotch. It is more than just clothes and even parts.Epitome said:I bet you would look at me as a man if i tried to follow you into the womans bathroom wouldnt you. It is not ignorence, in fact i happen to be quite a tolerant and accepting person. But even i draw lines, Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken, and cutting your junk in half and sticking it inside you does not make you a woman. Would you really accept this person as a woman, or any gender changer for that matter? Im not suggesting i impose my morale code on them, im not saying what they are doing is wrong, i simply do not believe that a sex op qualifies for a gender change. If the choose to believe otherwise then more power to em but it shouldnt affect me. Taxes should not be used for somebody to challenge gender philosophy in teh court system tahts already overcrowded with serious problems. It is you who are ignorent here attempting to belittle my opinion just because it goes against your own by the way.Kiutu said:Then I refue to look at you as a man. Real men arent ignorant fucks.
My only problem is the public paying for it.
No its not good for him, its damn sick.Pink_Pirate said:meh.. good for him
You wont find any bashing here with me. So you think if a boy is never told he is a boy and is dressed in pink and brought up as a girl , when he comes of age to realise what has been done to him and refuses to change he has a right to be reclassified as a girl ad recieve a sex change? Or is he (and i use this term in a medical sense not a bashing sense) "sick" and to be prescribed therapy to return him to his true gender?theultimateend said:If I remember correctly in Psychology you are told that it isn't the gender of someone that is decided at birth it is the Sex.Epitome said:I find the entire concpet of changing ones gender to be seriously flawed.

One is more sociological than the other (as in gender roles). All over the world different countries have very different gender roles.
But generally these topics devolve into bashing folks who are sexually confused so I'll leave it at that.
So I'm ignorant because I dont think thats right?JanatUrlich said:Then I refue to look at you as a man. Real men arent ignorant fucks.

Well that's great for you. Then you can give your money to the charity fund for prisoners who want cosmetic surgery. But I would think that most people don't like there money being spent in such a way. I think people would like the taxes to be spent for the greater good of society, and not just one man's wants to become a women-ish creation.JanatUrlich said:I'd be perfectly happy for a person to be rehabilitated by any means necessary.

Obviously surgery isn't the answer for everyone, but if it'll help this man than I am genuinely all for it
Thank you, i do attempt not to enter debate unless ihave some idea of what i am talking about. Also it should be pointed out that i respect your position on the subject and am not about to try and force you to my way of thinking.Kiutu said:If you want to look at trans women as not women, then I wont look at people like you as whatever you say YOU are. I am merely doing the same as you. Sex and Gender are two different things. Gender is not based on one's crotch. It is more than just clothes and even parts.
I do however compliment you on knowing better than saying 'chopping your nuts off' and being actually accurate on how that works.
He hasn't had the change yet has he.... I thoght the change was going to be made after the sentance.....Psychosocial said:If he loses his penis, then I don't see any problem, otherwise, that's the worst judge ever.
In that logic, then Gays should not be allowed to marry. Because well...if we let men marry men, they may want to marry their dogs next. Now unless you agree with that too, then your thinking is flawed. (ok, either way I would feel there is flawed thinking involved..but I think you know what I mean)Epitome said:Thank you, i do attempt not to enter debate unless ihave some idea of what i am talking about.

Now while i belive that Sex and gender are different things i do believe in a fundamental association between the two. Physiology has a large part to play in ones gender though. If we were all born asexual then everybody would be free to choose and gender would not be an ssue.We are not though , we are born either male and female. In todays (relatively) increasingly tolerant society amny of teh boundaries between teh genders have been torn down. this does not mean we can start jumping ship.
Imagine for me if you will one of these trans women gets so involved in their delusion that they believe they are pregnant and proceeded to stuff pillows up their shirt for 9 months. Would you then feel we should allow them say maternity leave, child support etc I knwo this is an extreme example btw i am simply illustrating that we must draw a line where physiology enters the debate even if it is one this extreme. Gender and Sex may be seperate things but there will always be an association between the two.
You know at a certain point in history saying the world was round or not in the center of the universe also seemed counter intuitive to most people.Epitome said:You wont find any bashing here with me.

By the way you said you were told n psycology, do you agree with it? Allowing people to decide what gender they are seems counter-intuitive to most people, in class do you accept what is said?
The general assumption is if someone is getting a complete sex change operation is that they likely prefer to have sex within their own "natural" gender.RebelRising said:Where does it say that he's gay?Antlers said:Wouldn't a male prison be like a sweetshop for a gay rapist?

You would class infertile and trans women in the same category with regards to childbirth? If the day ever comes when we can completely change a mans body into a womans, womb, hormones and all then i may lessen my stance on the issue. But first it think that research has some pretty strong ethical considerations that start bordering playing God.Kiutu said:In that logic, then Gays should not be allowed to marry.

(ok, either way I would feel there is flawed thinking involved..but I think you know what I mean)
I will go on however. What about infertile women? They could try that too, and they should not be allowed maternity leave, but are still women. However if they find a way to allow trans women (and likely infertile women too obviously) to becoem pregnant, THEN they SHOULD get maternity leave in that case.
