I certainly wouldnt want medicare/aid or taxpayer money paying for it.. but that is different than private insurance.

I would agree with jms that the surgery is elective, because its not like "we have to fix this hole in your heart or you will die" type surgery, or a ACL surgery.

But it is different than elective plastic "fix my nose, make by boobies perky" surgery. IMO. its a matter of your body matching your brain and feeling comfortable in life.

The problem is these private insurers are doing everything in their power to not cover surgeries, cancer treatments, etc for people who absolutely need it.

These people don't need this surgery. It's not going to technically make them a man or a woman. It's just rubbish. Complete and utter rubbish. It should be covered right after plastic surgery. It's not needed and it won't make these people happy. It's an illusion.

This type of "news" is what's wrong with this country. And of course it was brought to you by one of the controllers of information. They want this article to divide us. And it is already doing that. I absolutely despise the people in support of something this ridiculous.

These people should be calling Jack Kevorkian. Because if they truly believe that the surgery will make their lives better then they might as well believe that they have multiple lives and can start over with the help of a bullet.
