Why would not being happy in their own skin be a fault of that individual? There are people in horrific accidents, people who become severely disfigured or scarred, people who lose limbs or fail to walk again . . . should these people be happy in their own skins? Should they be denied prosthetic limbs, plastic surgery or basic compassion, just because 'well, if you aren't happy then it's your own fault'?
These examples I think are quite relevant to the topic of sex-change. I mean where do we draw the line? Who gets surgery and who doesn't? How do we decide what is a 'legit' problem, and what isn't? Personally I think your view is a little naive to the problems of other people.
