GRS: the Main Criterion?

In Quebec, as in many other places, for a person to officially change gender designations, it is necessary to have gender reassignment surgery. No problem for me: I wanted the surgery, and the medical and therapy professions felt it was necessary in my case. Green light . . . go!

But there are some people who will argue that one shouldn't have to have GRS in order to change official gender designations. They argue that some people simply cannot have the surgery because of other medical problems, or that they can't afford to have the surgery, or that they don't want to have it.
