Let me just open a transgender transitioning can of worms thread

Post by msnobody »

I am reading sample letters for physicians in support of persons transtioning from birth sex to their self-identified gender.

In one of the letters, it states, "She reports symptoms of anxiety, which she feels are exacerbated by his Dysphoria. She relates much of his Gender Dysphoria to her small breast size." Another letter addresses verbal and non-verbal speech therapy so as to not strain the voice and non-verbal communication coaching to assist with congruence of voice with self-identified gender. Then there is laser electrolysis/hair removal as well that tax dollars are paying for.

Best I could probably get from my insurance for my frontal thinning hair from tyrosine kinase inhibitor (cancer treatment) side effects is a wig allowance with a copay or co-insurance. Would being a contented female birth sex/identifying as a woman qualify me for non-gender dysphoria/body dysphoria if I wanted the single old lady whisker permanently removed. I can't identify with anxiety over breast size, as I have no complaints there, but what about the woman assigned female at birth, content with her at birth gender identity who has struggled all her life with her small breast size. She's have to pay 100% out of pocket for a cosmetic procedure even if she had body dysphoria. Same for the man with male pattern baldness.

Would you like to pay for frontal hair implants and to permanently pluck an old lady whisker and restore Mr. Nobody's beautiful brown locks with your tax dollars? by the way, the Nobodys are not wanting a go fund me started. :lol:

Let me see if I can find the same information online. BRB.

I’ll have to check tomorrow to see if I can find a public rendering of it, as I only find a training site that likely contains the material, but you have to create an account to access it.

Not sure there is one, but it’s probably Trump's’s fault. ;)

It is not clear what letters we are hearing of or it is obvious they are letters by medical providers looking for insurance coverage.

I feel a lot of caution about this subject. I do not wish to trouble or disrespect people who have chosen to change gender. I do not understand their situation and hope that they can find a workable or good solution.

I also really hope people are not being pressured into something for somebody else profit or furtherance of a personal campaign. I hope people are not pressured into something by group enthusiasm or personal confusion.

I really hope caution and care can prevail as people can be hurt.

Clarify, please. Does the OP refer to medical situations paid for by ‘tax dollars’, or your contribution to an insurance pool?

The culture war isn't Trump's fault, and he doesn't seem to care about it much aside from it being the shortest path to getting the most votes in a country already prepared for nationalism. If you look, there is even been runs of rainbow Trump merch. He can lie to LGBQT people as easily as he can Christians. He doesn't quite understand why his base is so worked up over it, as if he could appeal to them a little, he could get those votes also. Trump really thinks this is all about him and he has good reason to believe that, but it's only about him so much as he'll be the arm of their anger. He's not allowed to say, can't we all get along under the name of Donald Trump? Otherwise, I think he probably would.
