There's a lot of money being made on these radical surgical solutions, mutilating the body the people were born with.
I bet it does relieve their depression temporarily ... all the surgery, the complications, the hormone regimens, the dress-up, it's a great distraction from what's truly depressing them .... which is probably something much worse than being a "woman in a man's body."
I certainly don't condone murder or beating of anyone. But Transgendered people aren't born in their condition, they have to premeditatedly become "transgendered", and if they don't inform their sexual partners of their chromosomal gender, there's going to be a pretty violent reaction. I think it's the plastic surgery industry that is partly to blame for those deaths, by putting these surgery victims in harm's way.

I am afraid you would actually have a violent reaction, if someone shared that information with you. I'm not suspecting this of Letterman, but you actually do sound like a scary fellow, with a serious issue about ambiguity and your own sexual needs.
Nobody is talking about forcing something else onto you. I'm a heterosexual male myself, who is quite alright with his identity and loves women. But what the transgendered person is doing is none of your damn business, and actually doesn't concern you or involve yourself in any way, your rampant speculations sounding like moralistic judgments.
There's usually transgendered hookers around one of the more popular underground art/music venues in my city, and I do wonder if they pick up their trade there because for some reason artistic types tend to be more tolerant.
