(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Long-term research is not definitive regarding sex-change transition. While some who go through that surgery seem to be satisfied, many are not. Some of them de-transition back. Over all, the outcomes (including suicide) are not conclusively positive. Go here to consider some of the available evidence.
So why have some courts demanded that the surgery be done on request? Where is the freedom of choice, the respect that is due to professionals who don't choose to perform it?
A hospital at the University of Maryland was judged guilty of violating anti-discrimination law because it refused to perform the sex-change surgery.
Chloe Cole (yesterday's post) is outspoken in her opinion that it was way too easy for her to get the drastic surgery at the age of 15. Even without any religious or moral considerations, scientifically and rationally there's not enough evidence to put the law of the land behind automatic access to it.
