If these attention seekers want to get chopped about that's up to them but why are tax payers paying for it?

I was going to debate this with you - but I can see from the tone of your rant i mean question, that this is just another pop and somebody you feel is lesser than you.

[ToraToraTora]

Not sure where you get that from RH. I'm not talking about lesser/greater here and I don't have a clue how I'd even measure that.

[ToraToraTora]

I just get sick of these people moaning that society is prioritising things that people actually need doing over their non problem. "....the only choice is to go private" - that's the idea, go private then.

[Mozz71]

Well, I'm guessing Helen knows full well your opinion on gender reassignment so didn't want to be dragged into the usual gubbings.

[Barsel]

TTT as you have never felt like you should have been born a female, you have no idea how it feels for those who do, so you refer to them as attention seekers which I suspect that is the last thing they are.

As you probably have no idea on this subject, why bring it up?

[Redhelen72]

The clue is in your question

/attention seekers want to get chopped/

[Barsel]

I see your answer is for those people to go private and it wouldn't occur to you that they would if they could afford it.

[ToraToraTora]

Mozz this is more about why they expect to get it free on the NHS when the NHS has lot on it's plate dealing with real health issues.

[Redhelen72]

Then perhaps you should have phrased your question in that manner instead of having a pop at people.

/If these attention seekers want to get chopped about/

That is no way to start a debate!

Barsel: "I see your answer is for those people to go private and it wouldn't occur to you that they would if they could afford it." - Well there are lots of things that I would like but could live without but I don't expect the tax payer to fund them for me.

[Countrylover]

Snap Red!

[Barsel]

TTT I bet you think that mental Health isn't a real health problem. Would I be right?

[Redhelen72]

You could have phrased it - 

Is it right that gender reassignment operations are covered by the NHS?

Perhaps you may have got a decent debate.

[douglas9401]

No, it's not right.

[ToraToraTora]

barsel: "TTT I bet you think that mental Health isn't a real health problem. Would I be right?" - No it is a real problem they usually dish out drugs.

[ToraToraTora]

10:47, ok then assume I did.......off you go.

[Barsel]

The thing is TTT perhaps those people who want gender reassignment can't live without getting it and some will take their own lives as they cannot live like this. Will you ever understand that not everybody is like you?

[Countrylover]

And TTT  complains about Gullys debating skills.!

TORATORATORA, "Well there are lots of things that I would like but could live without but I don't expect the tax payer to fund them for me."

Does the lack of or possession of any of those things affect your physical or mental health to a high degree?
