What does this say about our culture in America? Countries around the world that have strong religious or moral beliefs must find this development horrifying, ridiculous, or both. It would be one thing if you were born as an Transvestite and wanted the extra parts removed, so that you could live as one sex for the rest of your life. However this is not the case, these individuals are born complete as one sex and have now decided to mutilate their bodies so that they can be the opposite sex.
This is a country of free people with self-determination and no matter how abhorrent I find this to be, they should be legally allowed to get this procedure. That being said, tax payers should not be forced into paying for these elective procedures. What is to stop these individuals in the future from changing their minds and then demanding to be changed back into their original sex? What will be next if we continue down this path of anything goes?
