"The best advice I can give you when working with trans-gender patients is, if you have a moral or religious problem with the topic, remove yourself from the situation."
Good advice. Sitting in a lecture about transgender medical issues - including sex-change operations - I'm looking at the trans-gender patient that came along with the lecturer so s/he could describe the travails of his/her condition. After about 10 minutes of staring at "her" (I'll use the gender that the patient wants to be), I realized that I had in fact seen this patient in clinic myself.
