I'm sorry, but the cognitive dissonance is strong with this one. She seems to understand she can't change her biological sex, so why undergo a phalloplasty if you know you can't change your sex? Nearly a million dollars spent on cosmetic procedures to chase some delusion. Why should insurance help cover this insanity?

On a side note, I guess trans widowers do exist. I wonder if her husband left or decided to remain in a "gay" relationship.

She was married to a woman who left her after the phalloplasty became disabling and turned her into an asshole. So still a lesbian trans widow.

after the phalloplasty became disabling.

Disabling is an understatement:

During my own transition, I had seven surgeries. I also had a massive pulmonary embolism, a helicopter life-flight ride, an emergency ambulance ride, a stress-induced heart attack, sepsis, a 17-month recurring infection due to using the wrong skin during a (failed) phalloplasty, 16 rounds of antibiotics, three weeks of daily IV antibiotics, the loss of all my hair, (only partially successful) arm reconstructive surgery, permanent lung and heart damage, a cut bladder, insomnia-induced hallucinations—oh and frequent loss of consciousness due to pain from the hair on the inside of my urethra.

Jesus Christ!
