Honestly, I read comments that say little more than "You are wrong." as an *attempt* to start a flamewar. But all is now well.

What I've read doesn't make me feel too sure of that. Between the increased disease risks of hormone therapies, complications from surgery, and so forth, some feel that the price is too high. (And then there's the matter of female-to-male transition, where the state of the art is... less than impressive.)
I'm not familiar with this "resleeving" Foxboy speaks of, but I sometimes wonder if it might take something like "form-change" from Charles Sheffield's Proteus novels to deal with this issue. Not as a treatment option (although it'd be a good one), but because it'd probably be a lot harder for people to sustain their issues with the whole thing if switching sexes was about as difficult and time-consuming as taking an afternoon nap.
Of course, there'd probably be a shitstorm for everything else there too. (Although I think that particular story has some good reasons for it not happening... much.)
