Most western countries with public healthcare either fully or partly fund drugs & trans surgery. Canada just paid for a guy to fly to Texas on the taxpayer dime to get an experimental surgery for a fauxgina but keep his dick. He'll probably end up costing us $1M in additional healthcare costs for the rest of his life, however short that may be.

One google search refutes your claim about US insurance. (Obviously they're going to complain it's "too difficult" to access.)

Thanks for the link. I see that: "it is illegal for your health insurance plan to refuse to cover medically necessary transition-related care."

If I worked for an insurance company, I'd only consider "medically necessary transition-related care" as for infants born with intersex problems. That kind of surgery is done regularly, where - for example - a penis is removed from a female infant (Jamie Lee Curtis supposedly had this done as an infant, but it might only be a rumor). Perhaps hormone therapy for a male infant who accidentally has female characteristics. I cannot think of other medically necessary transition-related care for older children or adults.

TRAs would now threaten you with their suicides.

It wouldn't work, in my case. I don't have much sympathy for anyone who kills him/herself. It's up to them.
