One Perspective: Gender-affirming surgery is literally life-saving 4some. According to 2011 report by nat'l center 4 transgender equality & national gay and lesbian task force, 41% of trans-identified persons in us have attempted suicide. (http://bit.Ly/14xr4ol) this rate is 26 x higher than corresponding rate in the general population. Consider the risks of any gender-affirming medical treatment in this context.
