So you and and the rest of your country would be paying for it. And you wouldn't have a choice in the matter.

No choice, no. There are gipsies and travellers that don't pay housing tax or something like that, but otherwise every time you buy a packet of chewing gum you're paying 19-24% in tax. But taxes don't just cover sex changes. It covers things that will save your life, roads, free education (until college), etc.

I'm not knockin roads and such.
But a sex change on the tax payers dollar?
I'm a robot in a mans body MAKE ME IRON MAN!

You can't walk into a clinic and order a vagina or penis. There's shrinks to determine whether you're actually 'suffering.' That includes dressing up and presenting yourself as what you intend to be for at least half a year while starting on hormones. Given the limited amount of cases each year it doesn't make much of a dent in the budget. Hell, if you're a woman and capable of convincing a shrink you're suffering cause of your small tits they'll pay for implants, course that's not a bad thing.

And you probably still have to pay money for medication and maybe hospital stay time and things like that. Here in Ireland it costs me $8 per month of medication. It used to be free.

As Haki says, you can't just walk into a surgery and demand a sex change. There are no doubt wait lists, criteria checks, etc.

I'd hope not... all you would need is only one bad drunken night and a law suit because of said drunken night and the whole thing would get buggered up.

its not like anyone shouldhave to pay more
how bout less goin into them fat pigs pockets
if we could find a way
to keep all them fuckers from dippin
we could all have gold teeth
big titties
penises and vaginas all over our bodies
free pills
wait....not free
CAUSE WERE ALREADY FUCKING PAYING FOR IT
we could give thm every past dime we had
and theredstill be not enough
for us to be healthy and happy
its fucking criminal
but we all know that already
in the grand scheme one penis/vagina issue
shouldnt even fucking matter
they just make us think it matters
so we keep arguing
and supersizing our feelings away

whew that was like a fat dump

My testicles aren't hairy enough, I demand free plugs . You know, for my self esteem.

The insurance system here is fucking us over; it's the same sort of thing Tom was talking about with Prymaxe. Insurance companies demand a discount price, so hospitals jack up the prices, and it's impossible to afford unless you have insurance.

B-but..bootstraps!

In the UK you actually have to jump through a lot of hoops to get SRS surgery. And on some level that's definitely fair, it shouldn't be a decision one makes lightly, but I think it's wrong to misrepresent it as a "crazy" thing to do. And I'm not slagging off anyone who doesn't support it being publicly funded, but I completely do.

Is this insensitive due to the circumstance?
