Transsexual's fight for implants lands taxpayer with £18,000 bill

[Andeeh]

Its an absoloute ******* joke, sure have your surgery or whatever or councelling but please not at the expense that could actually save another persons life

Thats a good point but that is in order to correct a disadvantage whereas there is no 'disvantage' in being a certain sex to the extent where somebody is brain damaged. Brain damage/disability mentally is different from transsexualism because transsexualism is not placed upon you, I believe its a thought whereas mental disability is moreso chemical.



I don't believe its a genetic problem, whereas these people do think it is a genetic problem that they were born the wrong sex just as I could think I was born with the wrong hair colour - they need mental help, not body mutilation.



I didn't do this bit justice so i'll just do a short list; Iraq and its WMD - didn't exist // Global temperatures rising - actually are falling // The Common Market - the actual baseplan for a federal Europe // Gulf of Tonkin incident - was spun into something it was not in order to go to war.. the list goes on and on, its endless.

So when government says or does anything, you should be naturally and instantly suspicious.



My opinion is that at the moment we are led into assessing them and thus catering for the thoughts/feeling we have, the issue with suicide - i'm sorry but I see that as a form of blackmail, nobody is forced into taking suicide - it is a choice.

That is another issue as is with crime, we are required to pretend that these things are 'diseases'.

Mental illness is a 'disease' of the mind. So what you are saying basically is that anybody with a mental illness should not be catered for. What about body dismorphia ( anorexia and bulemia). That is in the mind too and can lead to suiscide. What is so different, Dan unless you have a fear of anybody that is different and doesn't fit a stereotype.
@ Andeeh nobody is suggesting they should have surgery at the expense of another's life. The article does not say that either.

I don't believe that this sort of thing should be paid by the NHS. :/

Woah, your commentary on this is highly disturbing and offensive.
