Lawsuit asks state to pay for inmate's sex-change operation- What do you think?

I don't agree with the state paying for an inmate's srs surgury, however, they do pay for a lot other inmate's surguries. Why is there a difference? SRS is medically necessary even though a lot of people don't think so.
I do think that transgender women should be placed in the women's prisons, though, instead of in the men's one; and that hormone treatment should be given to them. The same thing applies to transgender men, to my mind.
Let's also remember that a lot of transgendered people end up in the underground economy primarily because people discriminate against them and often don't hire them. That obviously isn't why this person ended up in prison, however.
