I don't know why prisoners have rights at all. When a person willingly commits a crime they should automatically have their rights stripped away. In the case of murder or assault their victims had their rights taken away. The only rights prisoners should have is the right to be kept alive, food and shelter, and be kept out of danger while they serve their sentence. Of course there are convicts that should be allowed to have a noose in their cells and some quiet time to reflect.
Allowing a prisoner to have a sex change or receive hormone treatments at the taxpayers expense is just stupid.
