In the ideal world there would be resources enough for everything.

But that's never gonna happen. Funding for Healthcare is limited. There can't be a truly universal healthcare.

Now on one hand you have infertility, leading to more than 10% of families struggling. This makes two members of a family struggle mentally. Also the lack of child will have societal impact (economical cultural etc).

On the other hand you have elective gender reassignment. It certainly impacts the quality of life of the person receiving it, but that's it.

Note that we are not talking about a homosexual couple trying to have a child. No. Right now the ocncern is gender reassignment for under aged children! Whether school should inform parents or not! In what universe this can have higher priority?
