"�A transsexual who spent ?60,000 on surgery to become a woman is suing her doctor after claiming that he misdiagnosed her with gender dysphoria.� Samantha Kane, 44, of Newcastle-under-Tyne, England, had been a millionaire property owner and father of two named Sam Hashimi until deciding to change his gender in an operation seven years ago. Now Kane says she does not enjoy living as a woman and misses the parts of her body that were cut off. She is suing consultant psychiatrist Dr Russell Reid, saying he advised her improperly and should never have permitted the operation. (Helen Nugent, �Sex-change woman sues over �terrible mistake��, London Times/Gender Trust, May 27)."
I haven't found the original article yet, but I vaguely remember the original TT discussion of this.
