It's not something that is medically necessary, and it is a purely physical change. Maybe they feel that it is a mental state, but in all reality if they feel the need to get that done, they are selfishly focusing on what is not truly important.

So if you woke up tomorrow and had a penis, a hairy back, and an Adam's apple, you wouldn't want to go to the doctor to correct that?

It's completely unnecessary surgery. These people won't die without the surgery. Sure, they don't feel right, but that doesn't make the surgery a requirement to survive, like an appendectomy is.

(And I say this as a woman who was NOT reconstructed after a masectomy.) In the same way, a double masectomy for female to male transexuals would be reconstructive (or perhaps, constructive), not cosmetic.
