That's one way of getting the operation covered by the state.

He said he only wants hormone therapy.

At any rate, I am a troglodytes and don't understand being trans. The LGB model has gender role behavior as something societally constructed. The T model seems heavily anchored in the biological model.

The Ts, I can understand. Sometimes you're born in the wrong body, and sometimes you just like to feel pretty.

Woohoo! In your face, Flanders!

I think I rate as pretty tolerant of homosexuality, and probably in the top 1% of heterosexual Russian speakers, but transsexuality just gives me creeps.
