. For two examples of the requirements are that the person must live at least a year in the choosen gender before they can have the surgery and constant conseling by a doctor before hand. And that doctor and another doctor, who has also seen the person has to agree that the person is sane and that the surgery would improve the person's quility of life before the person can have the surgery.

Neither one of these conditions would determine if there was a biological basis for the sex change operation based on the conditions you described in #119. Counseling and decisions about sanity and improvements to the quality of life are fairly subjective, particularly when the doctors involved have a financial interest in performing the operation.

Ever heard of the hippocratic oath. Also, if you think about it, most things in life are subjective. It depend on your point of view. And I didn't make the requirements, I just told you was some of them were.
