Miss C,
I suspect you know what I'm going to say even before you read any further.
You do have a way of appealing to my Libertarian mentality. I do disagree with this doctor's opinion and the notion that transgenderism is inherently a mental illness. My concern lies with those who get the government to adopt their view or do their bidding, as oppose to others simply disagreeing with me. With that said, I agree with you about the problems about the national debt and excessive government. I think the government should get out of healthcare along with a multitude of other aspects of our lives. Does that mean I think transgender individuals seeking SRS should be thrown under the bus? No. I think those who need help or assistance should get it, but through other means like NGOs. In my opinion, individuals and private organizations have a very strong incentive to be prudent and avoid making mistakes when possible. If they don't they may fail and go out of business. The government doesn't have this problem and thereby lacks an incentive to be productive and make sound decisions.
