If we taxpayers are to be footing the bills for some likely demented wack jobs seeking geriatric sex change operations, why not send them to Thailand and get the surgeries done cheaply?

This is why I love you.

Furthermore, don't go to TV hospital ER room for sex-change surgery. You might have a 24-hour wait.

I'm not sure about government funding of Gender Change surgery, when the medical system is already overloaded. But I agree we should have compassion for gender conflicted individuals. I don't see a benefit in thinking of them as Wack Jobs. How can we judge others if we haven't walked in their moccasins?

We are probably going to all catch that new mental disease-- KimJongunphobia. And have to resort to TOTVphilia for treatment.

There also seem to be some mental diseases that I cannot see how any physician who is adhering to the Hippocratic Oath would do any kind of surgery for that malady. Or, therapy (unless aversion) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apotemnophilia for that matter like with the desire to amputate limbs as some poster suggested. That seems like treating some sociopath by allowing him to kill dogs and cats in inhumane manners.

Do not really see an easy answer with the economy and medical care for ailments like this. Look at the career of Marci Bowers who got a MD and delivered a large number of babies before taking up the sex change business. Her life seems to have become so much better and beneficial to society after she had her sex change. http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_16843484
