http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/2012/07/10/srs-requirement-view-from-a-transsexual-man/Here is an interesting comment from Jack Ori in the United States:
Hi Jillian,
I found your article about the SRS requirement to legally change gender interesting. I'd like to offer my perspective on it as a transsexual man.
I can understand your perspective, but I see this discussion as analogous to the marriage equality discussion. Just as allowing same-sex couples to marry doesn't take away from heterosexual couples' ability to marry, I do not see how allowing a person who keeps hir anatomy to change genders affects those who have the means and desire to have SRS. If I read the proposed law correctly, it simply allows those who do not have SRS to have their gender identity adequately represented on official documents.
