...change an undesired trait is somehow indicative of deep personal problems.
In some cases it really is.
I liken the Ts in GLBT to the obviously mentally ill folk who want to amputate a limb for no good reason(1).
To call them mentally ill, though, is a crime against PC because they have managed to glom on to the homosexual band wagon and share in the mass delusion that such practices are just
wuuuuunderful and beyond criticism of any kind.
Ts are deserving of pity to the same extent as any mentally ill person. Those who perform the surgery and those who enable the practice, however, are vile creatures on par with those who scam the elderly or those who sexually abuse children. Hell, they are worse, leaving the object of their efforts a mutilated male or female for the rest of their days.
(1) Many of whom respond well to antidepressants. Hmm, maybe the problem was not a surplus of limbs... Also, those who managed to get a limb amputated and those who manage to get "sex-reassignment" surgery generally demonstrate no improvement in mental state. Again, the problem ain't a surplus of limbs to the wrong pieces parts. The problem is a ways north.
