My surgery was 13 years ago in Montreal. I was born both sexes.
I guess that makes me an expert.

Being born that way is entirely different to the situation where
somebody who is one sex decides in their own mind to change
to the other.
If one is born with both sets of genitalia, a decision would have
to be made quickly to determine what sex the child shall grow up
to be.
That is an entirely different situation to someone deciding later
in life that they think they should have been born a woman/man.

Decisions of gender assignment cannot be made by others and definitely not at birth. Blank slate is a farce.
Deciding later in life. I lived most of my life designated as a male.
Pontificating on this issue, without real knowledge, is just silly.

But the whole point of this thread was the question of cost.
If one has a need for this type of surgery then I don't see why
others have to pay for it. If one wants to change one's gender
and the facility is available to do so then let them avail of it.
But I don't want to have to pay for it thank you.
