Well all they have to do is put it in the system for review and drag it on a bit by getting some psyche profiles done to find out his mental state and then by the time they decide he will be dead anyway.
End of problem.Comment

If this person has severe mental issues with their body then they deserve support, even if it is a quality of life thing they deserve support. Particularly if the local authority pays for cosmetic procedures on the same grounds.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

And why is obesity not in the same category then?I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

You think that this bloke got up one day and decided he "wanted" to be a woman?
If he did I would suggest that he is mentally ill and needs long term expensive treatment to sort that out.
If there is some form of biological imperative then there is no choice being made. Australian researchers claim to have found a "transsexual" gene so dont dismiss this out of hand.
As pointed out by Pog and as suggested by myself, there are any number of lifestyle choices and elective procedures already funded by the NHS.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

There's probably a lot more to this story than meets the eye but as someone who has a friend who is transsexual, it's anything but a "lifestyle choice". There's no "choice" involved.
If anything the person concerned has probably "not played the game" correctly with the PCT but I don't know enough to comment....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
