Rather a sensitive topic for me, as I could have easily been the wife, if I hadn't gotten out of my marriage when I did. My ex was very jealous of the fact that I was female and they weren't, so verbally abused me. I was lucky to leave before the violence got physical, as she had started to break things regularly that were mine. The last fight he broke his thumb hitting the wall instead of me.
Notice the change in pronouns I use to speak of them. They had just enough sense to stay out of jail, but then we both were involve in Transgender Right movement and knew the conditions trans people face in jail.
As to the op, I'm against the state paying for cosmetic treatment for TG's. Make them work for it, My ex can't get surgery because the refuse to work as long as they owe me back child support, so their five o'clock shadow is rather noticeable.

"England needs, examples of people who, leaving Heaven to decide whether they are to rise in the world, decide for themselves that they will be happy in it, and have resolved to seek, not greater wealth, but simpler pleasures; not higher fortune, but deeper felicity; making the first of possessions self-possession, and honouring themselves in the harmless pride and calm pursuits of peace." - John Ruskin
