Indeed.

I hadn't seen the date. However, is there any other kind of mental disorder for which we advocate surgery rather than therapy?

Fair enough :D - - - Updated - - - So, should we fund and encourage reassignment surgery despite the evidence for it actually making them happier very slim? Apparently, a significant portion of them regret the surgery and attempt suicide...
