Why have we collectively decided that some going through a sex change is ok, but someone who wants to be a wolf is fair game for ridicule?

PT6A posted:To put it differently, we know that a human can be either a man or a woman, so it's conceivable (even incredibly likely) that whatever factors make someone "feel" like one or the other (or something in between) can go haywire in certain circumstances, causing a mismatch between an individual's perception of their own gender and their biological sex. On the other hand, we know that a human being cannot be a wolf or visa versa. I think in a hypothetical world where transsexuals were viewed by D&D with revulsion, you could use similar arguments against them, or I suppose similar arguments for people who want to be animals. If there were surgeries that people routinely got to go wolf, I bet a large portion of the people here would defend it.

Would anyone who is for gender reassignment surgery be suddenly against it if the brains of transsexuals were totally identical to those of the rest of their birth gender? All these arguments seem like after the fact justifications to support what we already believe.
