*Growl*!
The London Times needs to trash whoever wrote this and whichever editor let it get published.

Ok, the writer is not thrilled, that's fine. But perhaps if they had bother to find out what goes on before getting SRS. And that it doesn't get done for reasons as trivial as they seem to think it is done for they'd have either written a different article or kept their *uninformed* opinion to themselves.
Edit:
Apparently this was an opinion piece in something a bit like a "letters to the editor" sectiuon. So the standards are a hair different.

If there were a mirror to see in to the very soul of these people that there is feminine and masculine in all of us they would be loath to criticize.

But the Brits pointing that out also pointed out that it quite likely is actionable under some law about slandering groups or hate speech or the like.
Re: S(he)'s a jolly good Fellow
I may be very female, and happy to be so, but I have a family member who's MTF, complete, and is soooooooo much happier now that she's finished transitioning. I know it wasn't an easy thing for her to go through, and I know there are all kinds of variations. We're all still people. (Is there an equivalent of "straight but not narrow" for trans?)
Re: S(he)'s a jolly good Fellow
Not that I know of.
I wear a buitton that says that anyway, even though I'm not *remotely* straight. :-)
Anything more accurate would just confuse the people who who need to see the button.
