Would anyone consider Trans medication and procedures elective? I can understand if an inmate comes in and needs cancer drugs or something like that.
But trying to turn yourself into the opposite sex is sort of elective and a choice of the inmate, right?

And none of that happens without extensive counseling, Psych workups, physical exams, Labs, ... Depending on which way the patient's going, OB/GYN, Urology, General Surgery for mastectomies and Plastics for reconstruction/implants are going to be involved, too.
Nobody just walks in and says "I'm feeling tranny, today.".
Human sexuality is not just an either/or proposition. Waaay more complex.
I spent 25 years as a Surgical RN in a bunch of different settings and I can say, for sure, that being the guy that drops another guy's sad, skinned little former johnson into the medical waste is an uncomfortable and very thought provoking moment. It doesn't happen without a bunch of thought going into it, usually accompanied by years of distress on the patient's part. I got over being judgemental about that crap long ago. Abusing people with physical differences that you haven't taken the time to understand is always going to be low class.
The Nuremberg trials 2.0 gonna be a real doozy. Lots of Trump administration officials gonna be living the rest of their lives behind bars unless they flee.
