So there you have it, Nebraskans. A prisoner has decided that you should pay for them to have gender reassignment surgery because reasons.

Why leave out of the OP whether he is a pedophile? That certainly makes a difference. Not that I think all pedophiles or rapists should be castrated, I don't. ( Many think I should with my own personal childhood history and my my daughters but I do believe in forgiveness and hope they find help during their imprisonment.)
My actual question would be why does he really want the surgery? Does he have a verifiable history that shows that he has been gender confused? Does he think he will get a transfer to a women's prison and avoid the issues of abuse that is known to come down on men pedophiliacs in Men's prison? Is he actually thinking that he may get released earlier and would not be as suspect as a woman in future crimes?
So many questions, I think it all does come down to leave it up to the real psychologists/doctors to determine if the surgery will be a benefit or a detriment.
(Matthew 5:30)
If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30"If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.

Because if the thread title was "pedophile wants sex change" then it would be page after page of people offering to castrate the offender.
I'm infinitely more interested in people's reactions and thoughts on the state, as in citizens, paying for the surgery than I am who knows how many comments like "I'll do it for free because pedo."

Note: I did not detail what the prisoner is incarcerated for, and I did so intentionally. Though I don't imagine that will be left out of the thread, I thought I would at least make the attempt at starting off without it.
A convicted child sex offender is accusing the state prison system of wrongfully denying access to hormone therapy to begin a sex change.
Dillon Shadle originally faced 62 felony child-related sex crimes.
Shadle pleaded guilty and was convicted of first-degree sexual assault of a child younger than 12, possession of child pornography and two counts of visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct.
Shadle was sentenced to 37 years to 66 years in prison, according to the Corrections Department. Under state sentencing guidelines, she will be first eligible for parole in 2043, state records show.
