Dismayed and angry members of the transgendered community are preparing to launch a human rights complaint after the province delisted sex-change surgery from its funding coverage.

"It's a matter of life and death," said Jamie-Lynn Garvin, a 47-year-old who has been living as a woman for the last two years and was on a waiting list for a sex-change operation (although her funding hadn't yet been approved).

"That's the only light at the end of the tunnel for me. I felt like I was in the wrong body my whole life."
