Um, no offense intended, but that remark is either thoughtless, ignorant, discriminatory, or all of the above.

Transsexuals go through mountains of therapy with a specially trained and licensed psychotherapist and/or psychiatrist, are required to first live as their "reassigned" sex for some time, then receive hormone therapy, and finally, when they are ready, receive sexual reassignment surgery performed by a specialist surgeon.

It is hardly "body mutilation."

You may not agree with the choices made by transsexuals, but remarks like the above would be *extremely* offensive to someone who is a transsexual.
