    That's gonna be some expensive body reassignment surgery.

      I don't think that's how it works.

          UFC should be banned anyway. The early Christians helped end the gladiatorial games and so should we.

            Not that I'm a fan of UFC but the difference between UFC and gladiator games which were often intentionally deadly and full of involuntary warriors is like heaven and earth.
            "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

            There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

              I think we can allow a bit of hyperbole from KG but point taken.

              It still needs to go.

                  This topic is as if a bunch a creationists gathered round to talk about evolution. Lot's of second-hand embarrassment.

                    Back in the early 80s, I knew a kid who was taking prescribed hormones and preparing for sexual reassignment surgery. I had recently moved to NYC from the rural Midwest, and the early 80s, so I was totally unprepared for this kind of thing. I was shocked that a doctor would support such a treatment plan. The guy was obviously suffering a great deal. I wonder where he is now. I'm not surprised the suicide rate is high for people who are in this situation. I've heard that there are sometimes hormonal issues during gestation that can contribute to such cases later in life.

                      It seems clear that most of these people are just as unhappy, or even more so, after the surgery.

                        That is why I said I am not surprised by the high suicide rate. I have not seen a comparison between before and after suicide or depression statistics.

                              Or everybody could at least do the most basic amount of research instead of spouting facts one simply presumes to be true.
