In response to the story that the British government pays for multiple sex change operations for indecisive Britons, reader Scot Walker e-mails:

Let’s pretend that I think I’m a dog trapped in a man’s body — what is the treatment for that? Do they give me an operation and attach floppy ears and a tail on me so I can be what “I really am”? Or do they treat me for a mental disorder?

By the way, San Francisco’s tax payers have to pay for sex change operations of city government employees. It costs around $50K, if I remember correctly.
