Try again with another strawman Patches. You get so angry knocking them down.
It's very simple.
I don't think that NOT paying for sex transformation surgery is "cruel and unusual".
I think having the Taxpayer footing the bill is "cruel and unusual" for the Taxpayer... a person (group of people) who have NOT committed any crime.
Apparently we now live in the Twilight Zone... a place where the "rights" of murderers supersede the Rights of the citizen.
It is "usual" to get a broken bone mended, and to get antibiotics for infections.
It is not "usual" to get your penis cut off, and get a surgeon to put some facsimile of a vagina in its place. This is not "usual". Since it's not "usual" it is therefore not "cruel and unusual" to NOT get this done. Follow?
Well, I doubt you'll have much sway on the law with that. Denying surgery recommended by doctors seems a bit cruel.
If you want to see a law whereby murderers are stripped of citizenship, and/or denied healthcare, go ahead and propose it.
It seems a little crazy.
We'll see. I don't think it's completely unreasonable to try to get this activist judge removed. I will be supporting it.
