Yes, they should.

I agree. If those with documented mental illness cannot buy or own guns then those who seek medical intervention for their gender crisis under the guise of mental illness shouldn't be allowed to own or buy guns. 

And taking that a different direction, if TG can get surgery under the guise of mental illness then what's stopping an obese and clinically depressed woman or man from getting surgery such as gastric bypass, liposuction, skin reduction, etc.? Clinical depression is a mental illness and currently most surgeries for obesity are considered elective and are not covered by insurance unless it is a life threatening situation. Obesity is life threatening in all its forms. 

If the TG folks can start having their surgeries approved by their insurance company due to mental distress I can see a smart, obsese, clinically depressed person challenging this and hiring a smart attorney to get their surgery approved. That opens a Pandora's box that insurance companies do not want.
