A federal judge has ruled the state of Indiana must provide taxpayer-funded “gender reassignment” surgery for a prisoner convicted of murdering a baby.
And yes, you read that right.
Following a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Judge Richard Young ruled it would be “unconstitutional” to deny Jonathan C. Richardson - known now as Autumn Cordellionè - a sex change while he’s incarcerated for strangling his 11-month-old stepdaughter to death back in 2001. He has been “identifying” as a woman since 2020, and has been receiving taxpayer-funded hormone therapy as well as feminizing products like "panties, make up, and form fitting clothing.” Despite having previously lived as a man, the ACLU claims Richardson has known he was a “woman trapped in a man’s body” since the age of 6.
Oh, and lest Richardson/Cordellioné’s name(s) ring a bell, this is the same moron who started identifying as a Muslim last year, and who then sued the prison chaplain for not allowing him to wear a hijab. So that’s the level of stupidity we’re dealing with, here.
While Indiana law prohibits the use of tax dollars to fund such procedures for trans-identifying inmates, the judge opined that the ban is tantamount to “cruel and unusual punishment” banned by the Eight Amendment.

Something tells me the Founders wouldn’t have included banning the use of public money to chop off a mentally ill man’s testicles and give him a fake vagina in the same category as, say, skinning someone alive.
Nevertheless, Young ruled that “Ms. Cordellioné" - which this guy is not, but okay - "has shown that her gender dysphoria is a serious medical need, and that, despite other treatments Defendant has provided her to treat her gender dysphoria, she requires gender-affirming surgery to prevent a risk of serious bodily and psychological harm.”
Harm like being strangled to death by your stepdad before you’re old enough to walk? Asking on behalf of a dead child.
Richardson, whose face is covered with tattoos, is currently serving out his 55-year prison sentence for reckless homicide. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has already said his office plans to appeal the judge’s decision.
