Nice stretch but i'm not buying it... Yes some cosmetic surgery is used to "augment physical deficiencies" as you put it, however, most of it is a vanity play. Bigger boobs, smaller noses, fatter lips, thiner thighs, stretched out faces etc. etc. etc. These procedures are voluntary, legal, and cater to the desired outcome for the client. Dress it up all you want but there isn't a significant difference between these procedures and the sex change stuff. Men may be boobs, Women get pecks, Men loose a dick and girls gain one... No matter what they do, it does not compromise their physical health or their bodies ability to function.How do you see it as different than other plastic surgery? People get their breasts enlarged and their big noses chopped in half all the time. Are you opposed to that too?
Enhancement is different from complete change for the purposes of legal definition of sex. And, often enhancement has occurred to augment a person's physical deficiencies within their sex. Not to amputate perfectly healthy organs in order to enable delusions. If you are capable of grasping the differences there?
That being said, I'm not a fan of the plastic surgery part of medicine other than when it helps a person repair damaged tissue for purposes of self esteem.
I'm not a fan of any these surgery's either and hope they are only a "last resort" thing as I'd love to see people be happy with their natural selves... But outlawing it to limit others from exercising their freedom to this very personal decision is not your call to make.
