Note how the PC-obsessed Boston Globe refers to convicted murderer Robert Kosilek as “her,” yeah, he still has a penis, so no, that’s a dude.

Via Boston Globe:

A federal appeals court in Boston today upheld a judge’s ruling that an inmate convicted of murder is entitled to a sex change operation as treatment for her severe gender identity disorder.

“Having carefully considered the relevant law and the extensive factual record, we affirm the judgment of the district court,” a three-judge panel of the First US Circuit Court of Appeals wrote, in a ruling that was a first of its kind.

The court issued its ruling in the case of convicted wife killer Michelle L. Kosilek. As a man, Robert Kosilek, he strangled his wife, Cheryl, in Mansfield in 1990 and dumped her body in a car at a mall in North Attleoborough.

US District Judge Mark Wolf ruled — after hearing from doctors that Kosilek’s surgery was medically necessary to treat her condition — that denying the surgery it would be a violation of Kosilek’s Eight Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.
