Boston (AP) – A killer who sued to have a sex change claims her body is becoming more masculine again because she’s being denied treatment in prison as she awaits a ruling in her bid for the surgery.
Michelle Kosilek, formerly known as Robert, said that for months she has not been allowed to have court-approved hair-removal treatment or access to a specialist to discuss her testosterone levels.
“My breasts have shrunk, genitals have regained previous size and function, facial hair is thicker and scalp hair is thinner, all related to an elevated testosterone level,” Kosilek said in a handwritten letter submitted to the court recently.
