Does what ever they choose to do really impact anyone else; of course not. The thing I find most amusing is that the people that have the biggest problem with people trying to feel good about themselves are people that are all about personal freedoms.
I wish that she was able to compete in this beauty contest if that what she wanted to do. I don't really see a problem with it.

I generally agree with you, that said though 20 percent of post op transexuals are unhappy with their life after the operation and 18 percent attempt suicide, it is a hell of long painfull dificult process that doesn't seem to make alot of those that go through it happy, I don't want to sound like I don't think anyone should go that route I am just deeply conflicted that a medical profession doesn't question what they are doing and how they are doing it, on top of this it has also become a deeply political issue with the LGBT lobby becoming incensed if any one suggests that there might be better options for a fair chunk of transgendered patients, or, god forbid, that some of them might actually have mental health issues, rather than the wrong body.
