I think it's a problem in society when people with serious mental issues, serious enough to drive some to suicide are underoing life long body altering surgeries and hormone therapies. But if they have the money to pay for it then that's their choice. There are plenty of butchers out there who are prepared at a price to hack up faces and bodies for willing people.
That's the most logical argument about this, though I'd point out that by the same reasoning booze and sweets should be outlawed as they provide no nutritional value and contribute to the single largest medical expenses.
And that is presuming, of course, that the medical and capital system in such a society is running at a peak efficiency where there is no other types of cosmetic surgery and wastes of money.
And this is, possibly, a discussion to be had.
I suspect that for most, if we're being completely honest with ourselves and each other, is a convenient financial issue in order to justify a long discussion about our feelings. Which, as I think I've made clear, is a discussion I'm in no way interested in having.
