Item: Transgendered inmate wins hormone therapy suit: Idaho must pay for treatment/Monique James, Idaho News Channel 7

More Info: A federal judge has ruled a Boise transgendered inmate will receive female hormone therapy, paid for by the state of Idaho. Jennifer Spencer, who changed her name from Randall Gammett, castrated herself with a disposable razor blade after she was refused female hormone therapy for her gender identity disorder during her time in prison. The Idaho Department of Corrections, funded by the state and taxpayer dollars, must provide psychotherapy and estrogen to Spencer for the duration of her time in prison, which is two more years.

Question: Is this a proper use of tax dollars?
