The state of Indiana will fund a sex change surgery for a man who killed an 11-month-old baby by strangulation. Why? Because the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued the Indiana Department of Corrections on his behalf and won.
Jonathan C Richardson now identifies as Autumn Cordellionè. The ACLU argued that denying him a sex change on taxpayer dollars violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition of “cruel and unusual punishment.” In other words making him live as a man is cruel to a man who killed his own stepdaughter.
Since 2020, the state has been giving him cross-sex hormones as well as women’s “panties, make-up, and form-fitting clothing,” according to the lawsuit. Now he wants the state to remove his testicles and build him a vagina.
Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita says that he will fight the ruling.
