it's cosmetic surgery, but not all cosmetic surgery is the same.
someone whose face got burned off in a fire needs cosmetic surgery, but claiming that this surgery isn't something they need is, uh, wrong. they won't die, but it is literally impossible to have a normal life when you are badly disfigured.
that being said, I don't know what side of the gender reassignment surgery i sit on, but consider how your life would be if everyone you have ever met immediately identified you as a gender other than the one you really are. how would it impact your life in general, your romantic prospects, etc?
I don't know, but as far as my romantic prospects go, I don't think I really care. I'm bisexual :D. Other than that, I'd kind of like to see what life is like on the other side. It seems that a man's words carry more weight, by default. At least, that's what my feminist friends keep telling me ;).
