However, Lauren did pay for her own surgery, so she was not a drain on the NHS. The same can't be said for other transsexuals I've met. I understand these operations can cost the taxpayer in the region of £10-15k.

Trangender people's brains are the gender they think they are.Unless you want all transgender's to have brain surgery then how do you expect them to be happy unless you change the body ? The body is created wrongly round the different gendered brain which has been proven in studies umpteen times.It only takes stress on the father's side to b*gger up one of the chromosomes so a transgendered person grows up with the brain of one gender trapped inside the body of someone with the other gender's body so they haven't got the chromosomes they should have because of it being messed up on the father's side which can just be by stress.Is it any wonder Lauren behaves awkwardly,because she's nervous about all the ignorance about what makes transgender people around her, and is it any wonder she gets angry sometimes ?
It is now accepted by many that gay people can't help the way they were born and that they are born with a gay brain by many who didn't accept it before.How many years will it take till transgender people which are much different than being gay are given the same courtesy and accepted that they can't help how they were born too.
How long till many in the general public accept they have the brains of the gender they think they are and how long till someone can be judged on whether they are funny or nor as a person and not having to have it linked to whether they are transgender or not ?
