Traditional Values Coalition (Still) Unhinged Over Reality of Transgender People

http://www.truthwinsout.org/blog/2010/02/6968/In a piece protesting the fact that the U.S. Tax Court ruled that a transgender woman may deduct the cost of her sexual reassignment surgery from her taxes, the SPLC-certified hate group Traditional Values Coalition made this unhinged remark:
A person can no more change his sex than he can change his species. A person can't become a potato or a giraffe. Yet, the gay, lesbian, transgender movement claims that a person can become the opposite sex. This is madness.
First of all, it's actually the medical community that, in some cases, recommends sexual reassignment surgery for transgender individuals. Many if not most transgender people actually do not have that surgery, but in some cases, on an individual basis, it's deemed the most appropriate course of action. Last time I checked, the medical community is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of "the gay, lesbian, transgender movement."
