I think it's fucking stupid for taxpayers to fund their surgery (or pay for boner pills, and other luxuries). Sex reassignment surgery isn't a luxury, though, any more so than antidepressants are for depressed people. It's one of the ways in which the (life-threatening) condition is treated, not something entirely elective. I guess we will agree to disagree. I have asthma (that was life threatening as a kid) but didn't expect a lung transplant. And transgender people don't expect a free cochlear implant. What does not expecting an unrelated procedure have to do with anything? Furthermore, the expectation here comes from the military covering medical bills. That's an advertised part of the job, not just some a priori sense of entitlement. Gender reassignment isn't like curing blindness, deafness, or a kidney transplant though. It can be argued that it's optional in comparison. The person is technically healthy. The entitlement is found in expecting others to transition you because it's not in the same category at all as, say, hearing loss. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:883669573] in Trump says...
