Ahh and the singularity angle rears its head again.
We aren't talking about what normalizing a grotesque and disfiguring manifestation of deep mental issues will do to just one person here or there. We are talking about what society's stamp of approval as a WHOLE on the practice means to the next few generations and where that will lead all of us.
I for one do not want to see a serious mental condition be called, held out and represented to youngsters en masse, as "normal, healthy, OK". I'm not keen to see stark mental illness become "normal" in any human society. That's how barbaric practices take root and overtake a society. Check your history books for examples.
Guy, get a grip. First of all, they don't approve sex-reassignment surgery after there has been a thorough evaluation by a psychiatrist.
second, only about 250 of these operations are performed in the US per year. It's not like it's an epidemic.
