Being a man trapped in a female body, or a woman trapped in a male body,


would be a miserable existence I wouldn't wish on anyone any more than I would wish, say, diabetes on them.

I think one's position on whether it should be covered or not is directly related to whether one believes in the legitimacy of the diagnosis, or not. Obviously if one feels it's just a matter of personal choice, rather than a genetically driven mis-alignment of gender identification and biological plumbing, one would minimize the treatment's necessity down to "elective" or "cosmetic."

A majority of us used to feel this way about homosexuality, that it was just a choice and a "sinful" one at that, by the way.
