I'm getting tired of the gender re-assignment debate, of whether taxpayers should be on the hook for them. Personally, I think that medical science is ruining the natural order of things, making certain things possible, which by nature, wouldn't be. In the case of gender re-assignment, what did these people do before medical science evolved to the level to which the operation was possible? Nothing, pretend medical science is out of the picture. So should we as taxpayers be paying for liposuction, and tummy tucks? People who get them done say they feel pretty good about themselves afterwords. While we're at it, how about total facial plastic surgery for those who, by society's standards, are ugly, I think that will do wonders from a psychological standpoint, even a confidence booster. My bottom line, it's not a necessity, who ever wants it should be saving their pennies, taxpayers SHOULD NOT pay for them. One deals with the hand they are dealt.
