Well, one of the times that cosmetic surgery is write off-able (according to the article) is to correct a congenital abnormality or a disfiguring disease. In the eyes of many people who have sex changes, their bodies ARE "disfigured" and "abnormal" because they're the wrong gender. To live in the wrong body causes them mental pain and suffering.
Not saying whether I agree or disagree with this, just that this is the argument that'll probably be used.
