The world is full of stupid and confused people, particularly in the west where such people have the leisure to worry about such stupidly unimportant things as "sexual identity". This being the age of instant gratification, there are doctors who are more than happy to charge you a quick $100k or so to "make you into" a man or woman.
Unfortunately, these stupid and confused people often regret having their bodies mutilated. They find that they aren't really any happier after the surgery than they were before it, and that their new artificial sex organs transmit little/no sensation. After the surgery they find that they are unable to gratify themselves sexually, which means that whatever happiness they get from becoming a "man" or a "woman" is very shallow, if it exists at all.
Psychological evaluations are a sham. Psychologists and doctors nowadays are little different than mechanics, happy to prescribe medications and treatments, and to recommend more than necessary. The more "help" you need, the more money they can charge you for it.

I completly agree. People arent old enough to make this decision at 16. Some say not doing it could hurt their self esteem in a coulple of years. If they still want to do it at age 18 I still think it might not be a good idea. Many young people do not see the long term of their choices. They still have not found balence of id and superego. They seek instant gratification.
