I am sure that few of you would like it very much if you were kidnapped in the middle of the night, experimented on, then forced to live the rest of your life as the opposite sex, knowing full well that you are a man in a woman's body or a woman in a man's body. That is sort of what it is like to be transgendered. You feel out of place in your body. That it is something forced upon you. A body can be prison with a life sentense.

I think that these people do have a right to change their body, since to them, this is a right to be a happier and more complete human being.
