There is a large population LGBT presents in Minnesota and at one time was the leader in Gender reassignment surgery. Currently we have to go out of state or out of the us. In the United States there is only a handful of skilled surgeons who perform sex reassignment surgeries. Maybe the U of Minnesota could help fund a student or two as long as they agreed to stay in Minnesota 5 years
Why is this important?

This information trickled through the media, and even wound up in (misinformed) advice column of Ann Landers.(4) The columnist warned readers of the St. Petersburg Times that University “authorities were not enthusiastic about the results” eight days before the sisters proudly sat for a photo with the same publication.(
