People with modified bodies, they pose no general threat to others and they assume all the risks with there life choices. It's not a matter of you agree or disagree with those choices, it's a matter of if you can accept them as people in society. The assumption of all the medical risks falls on them and there choice to undergo a sex change operation. Should it be covered by a insurance? I don't think so, cosmetic surgery is not covered unless a rare criteria presents its self. A sex change would never fit it as a "necessary" surgery. John who weighs 500 pounds and is at risk would be covered for his surgery to lose weight, John who is a healthy and wants to become Jane cause he feels he is a woman on the inside, should not be covered under his PPO or HMO for a sex change. He would have to pay 100% out of pocket for the sex change. The bathroom issues are out of hand, a simple way of fixing it is this. If John who is now Jane still has a penis, he is still a he and has to use to the Men's room, if he has gotten his penis removed, he is a 100% legal woman and can use the Woman's restroom. Same goes for Jane who is now Jack.
