"Taxpayers Must Fund Compression Underwear, Jewelry For Transgender Prisoners: Judge"

"A California judge has ordered that state prison officials must provide transgender inmates with compression underwear and jewelry if the inmate cannot afford to purchase them.

As the Associated Press reported Friday, U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in San Francisco issued the order in a federal lawsuit, saying prison officials must now provide free undergarments that flatten the chest (binders or compression tops) to female-to-male transgender inmates in women's prisons. This was the same lawsuit that had earlier 'led California to become the first state to provide taxpayer-funded sex reassignment surgery to an inmate.'

Shiloh Quine, 57, the individual inmate in question, underwent the sex reassignment surgery in January and was then moved from a men's prison to a women's facility and is serving a life sentence for robbery, kidnapping, and the 1980 murder of Shahid Ali Baig, a young father of three.

Kaeley Triller Haver, communications director for the Just Want Privacy Campaign, told The Christian Post Tuesday that the person everybody should be talking about is Shahid Baig, not Shiloh Quine.

'No one wants to talk about how, as a California resident, Shahid's daughter's hard earned money was used to help finance the gender reassignment surgery of her father's narcissistic killer or how it will now also be used to make sure he has access to underwear to feed his fetish or accessories to match his outfits,' Haver said.

'A violent man devastated the lives of an entire family who were forced to grow up without a father, and we are sitting here wasting tax payer dollars to make sure he feels comfortable in his new digs.'"
