If the in the achievement of a goal it requires that one remove their genitals surgically and have hormonal injections for life, this should not be something encouraged and normalized by the likes of the author who see it as some sort of civil right. Take a step back folks and ponder this. If someone identifies strongly as an animal should they  have surgery paid by the state to become, say a cat? P.S.  you will in the end just make a lousy cat and will never be a cat no matter how many surgeries or badly you want to be a cat or whatever.
