What is really bothersome about this kind of situation...
Poor people can't even begin to fathom this kind of thing. Gender reassignment is only for the wealthy. You could almost say it's a "perk" of being wealthy.
I have a friend who is going from being a man to a woman, and because "he" lost his job recently, he has to put everything on pause -- the hormones, the upcoming surgery, pretty much putting this process completely on pause.
It's nice to think that we can be all accepting and tra la la, but the fact is that it's an incredibly risky, costly procedure that only the very well off financially can afford. Everyone else is stuck with what they have. Agree with GRS or not, that's wrong.
