Idaho Governor Refuses To Pay For Transgender Sex Offender’s “Transition Surgery”

Ready to hear one of the most ridiculous court rulings you’ve heard in awhile?

Here it is: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the state of Idaho is responsible for covering the cost of a “gender reassignment surgery” for convicted sex offender and prison inmate Adree Edmo. The cost of such a procedure is between $20-30K.

And, get this, the court is citing that not paying for the surgery would be “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Edmo’s lawyer has stated that he “suffers every single day while they have denied this treatment to her for years and there can be no reason justifying Idaho’s continued refusal to provide her care except bias.”

Edmo is serving time for sexually molesting a 15-year-old boy. 

Despite the court’s ruling and pressure he is getting, Idaho governor Brad Little is continuing to standing his ground, drawing the line at this one.
