In today's Daily Mail he is calling for a ban on sex-change operations.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As a post-operative transsexual woman who had to fight for years to get the operation, with no regrets since, I find "Mr" Kane's attitude insulting to the vast majority of transsexual people in this world.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You, who went through SRS on a whim, state that you did not like the way you were regarded by society as a woman.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In today's Daily Mail you state:&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;"Also, because I'd once been a man, I knew exactly how they thought and responded to women, so there were no surprises and no mystery for me. It all became rather boring."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;What did you expect????&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Your story is full of contradictions.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You thought that by changing back to a man you'd be able to get back with your family?&lt;br&gt;
I haven't had contact with my family for fifteen years, I would love to meet them again but I'm not going to change back.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You've done a lot of damage to the real transsexual people in this world.&lt;br&gt;
The ones who are living their lives happily and successfully without your millions or media exposure.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You want to be accepted as a man again?&lt;br&gt;
Grow up and live with the consequences and realities of your actions and stop blaming your failure on Russell Reid who wouldn't give me a surgical refferal before two years of RLE.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Nobody forced you to have that operation but you obviously had more money than sense. What sort of stories did you tell the doctors and surgeons?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Charles Kane, was the name a coincidence?&lt;br&gt;
Charles Foster Kane loved to be the centre of attention in the Orson Welles film.&lt;br&gt;
Did you feel left out of the limelight?&lt;/p&gt;
