A: Why?
B: And so? She identifies as female?
The 'small breasted woman' thing is not gender dysphoria.
This discussion was useful, but when those who lack logic persist, it becomes an exercise in futility. It also removed itself from the original question. But some just cannot help themselves.

This person is a she.
Who would sue for all of this surgery if they weren't serious?
A sexual deviant may. I've seen far worse done on BME websites.
It's a he.
It's a She. If you aren't willing to join us in the 21st century, then stay back there, wherever you are.
And I don't know what a BME website is nor do I want to know what sites you visit.
The OP asked the question, I answered it, now I'm in no position to have an opinion?

Thank goodness you are not our Universal Dictator and we have systems of law and medical science in place to answer these questions then.
Clinical evaluation is the first step.
Hey if it were up to me that scum would be expired by now.
This would not even be an issue.
As I said. Glad you aren't in charge.
Ponder question for you: aren't you glad we have a system of laws which prevent such actions, because, not for nothing, someone or society at large might arbitrarily decide that you deserve execution yourself?
Thus, laws.
Or is it simply a convenience for them now, to evade being put in with male population who will not be very nice it it.

Obviously you are not interested in reading or trying to understand others' posts carefully.
That person has never stated that you are not in a position to have an opinion.
So there you have it, Nebraskans. A prisoner has decided that you should pay for them to have gender reassignment surgery because reasons.
You are in no position to pass sentence or pick medical procedures
This is why you don't work for a prison and I hope not the government.

I think there are several comic book characters you would get on with.

You seem to think that anyone can all of sudden decide to have that surgery and they will go right ahead and do it. As other posters have stated few times - it is a long process.

For a trans* person, sex reassignment would not merely be a "personal choice surgery" comparable as one poster has asininely suggested to breast augmentation.
Sex reassignment is not a simple matter of "feeling better" about one's self, but a complicated, long-term, painful, and unpleasant treatment for a deep, psychologically and physiologically compelling reality.

One that should not be footed by the tax payer.
Not for a bank robber, nor a rapist, or murderer. it is not a life threatening surgery.
But by all means, it's up to the doctor to tell you that suddenly you may have to foot the bill for this creature to feel better about themselves while they spend 70 years in prison for child sex offences.

In all honesty, I was there for her though much of the turmoil in making that choice, and yes (I still call him her because old habits die hard I still slip up when it is just me and him drinking) he will say it is the best "Choice" he ever made to feel better about himself like things actually fit in his life now. And that was a discussion we had a lot before during and here near the end. The worst part is when I say over beers it is just me drinking he has to do it over water until the treatment and surgery is done.
