The goal of treatment for transsexualism is to fix the mismatch between neurology and physiology, thereby enabling assimilation into society. Assimilation cannot be achieved if one insists on viewing oneself as a “male woman”, a “female man”, or some other absurdity.

Additionally, such people make assimilation more difficult for those who are serious about trying to achieve it: they effectively give society an excuse not to accept sex changes. “Oh but I know someone who self-describes as a ‘male woman’ so it’s okay!”

Commitment to attempting to achieve assimilation ought to be part of screening. In a world of limited resources priority should be given to patients willing to do their utmost to achieve a successful outcome, not to time-wasters. We likewise prioritize organ transplant recipients.
