Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I tono nga roia mo tetahi herehere transgender i whakawakia mo te kohuru i te Kooti Nui o te United States i te Mane ki te whakakore i te whakatau e whakakahore ana i tana tono mo te pokanga o te taangata. I whakahaua e tetahi kaiwhakawa a-rohe te Tari Whakatikatika o Massachusetts kia whakawhiwhia te pokanga ki a Michelle Kosilek i te tau 2012, i te kitenga koinei anake te'maimoatanga tika' mo te dysphoria taumaha a Kosilek, e mohiotia ana hoki ko te mate tuakiri ira tangata. I whakakahoretia taua whakataunga i te marama o Tihema e te 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He tono ki te Kooti Nui? E whawhai ana a Michelle Kosilek, i whanau ai ko Robert Kosilek, e whakahe ana i tētahi whakataunga i whakakahoretia ai tana tono mō tētahi mahi whakarerekētanga ira. I mua me muri i nga whakaahua o Kosilek hei tangata i te taha maui i te 1990, me te noho hei wahine i te taha matau i te 1993. Ko nga roia o Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders i kii ki te Associated Press i tono ratou ki te Kooti Nui kia whakawhiwhia ki te whakarongo, ki te huri ranei i te whakatau a te kooti amuamu. E tautohe ana rātau kāore i kitea e te kooti amuamu he 'he hapa mārama' i roto i te whakataunga a te kaiwhakawa e whakaae ana ki te pokanga, nō reira kāore he take ture hei whakakahore i a ia. Ko Kosilek, i whanau ko Robert Kosilek, e noho ana i te herehere mo te mate o tana hoa wahine a Cheryl McCaul i te tau 1990. I tēnei wā e 65, kua rua tekau tau a Kosilek e whawhai ana kia whakahaeretia ia. I te tau 2002, i kitea e te Tiati Mark Wolf ko te maimoatanga i riro i a Kosilek i te whare herehere kaore i te tika, engari i mutu i te whakahau i te pokanga, i te kitenga kaore te Tari Whakatikatika i takahi i tana Tika Tuarua mo te whiu nanakia me te kore noa. Victim: I whakawakia a Kosilek i te tau 1990 mo te kohuru i tana wahine a Cheryl McCaul (i whakaahuatia) I muri i tera, ka timata nga kaitohutohu o te whare herehere ki te whakarato i nga maimoatanga hormone, te electrolysis ki te tango i nga makawe kanohi, nga kakahu wahine me nga taonga whaiaro. I te tau 2005, i whakawakia ano e Kosilek te Tari Whakatikatika, me te kii ko te pokanga te mea e tika ana mo te hauora. I te tau 2012, ko Wolf te kaiwhakawa tuatahi i te whenua ki te whakahau i te pokanga-whakaputa-whakaputa hei rongoa mo te mate tuakiri ira tangata o te herehere. Kua whakahaua e ngā kōti i ētahi atu kāwanatanga ngā maimoatanga horomona,
Ko Michelle Kosilek, i whanau ko Robert Kosilek, kei te mauheretia inaianei mo te kohuru i tana wahine a Cheryl McCaul i te tau 1990. E ai ki ngā tākuta he mate tāne tāne a Kosilek. I te tau 2012, i whakahaua e tētahi kaiwhakawa kāwanatanga te Massachusetts Dept of Corrections ki te whakatinana i te mahi whakarerekētanga ira tangata, engari i whakakahoretia taua whakatau i te wā o te amuamu. Kei te tumanako ngā roia a Kosilek ki te kawe i tōna take ki te Kooti Nui.
