see how they try to change the language?
I expect it will soon be mandatory for all health plans to pay for it; the way things are going, it will be mandatory to have it done.
Call it “genital mutilation” instead.
How many mentally ill people are there in a town of 12,000 that this is an issue for city employees?
once again the liberal tail wags the dog
“gender confirmation surgery”
Who knew you needed a knife to discern and confirm the gender of a human being?
Is Jewish “confirmation surgery” covered?
“transgender” has become the latest fad. I am amazed at how fast the latest fad spreads in this country. Hula hoops. Cabbage patch. Michael Jackson. And now dickchopping. The fads all have one thing in common: insanity. It seems the more insane the more widespread the fad.
Within months people are being fired for not liking the fad. Companies are in fear of being sued.
But, like all fads, this will pass, and the country will continue its never-ending love affair with the banal, the unnatural, the sensational, and it will be replaced by another fad. The next one will be BI.
First thing you notice is the lying language. Put a patient on a program of lifelong hormonal interference, castrate him, and call it “confirmation”.
Undoubtedly this must apply to the other body dysphorias, too. Destroy a healthy, normal, fully functional eye, leg or hand and call it a repair.... or a personal affirmation!
“causing a financial strain that can often hinder the completion of the process.”
Some financial strains are more important than others, apparently. The financial strains of a solid voting and donating block are more important than those of normal people.
I want the John “The Wad” Holmes procedure.
And I want my insurance to pay for it.
What about breast implants?
What about a nose job?
What about liposuction?
What about tattoos? Piercings?
Catering to people's obsessions is not healthcare.
It is elective surgery.
It is like asking for breast enhancements or a tummy tuck. Or getting your face done. Or hair implants.
Pay for it yourself.
You know there are people who really, really are unhappy they cant have all the above elective crap too, and it depressed them and they obsess about it. Its still elective surgeries.
Pay for it your effing selves perverts.
“gender confirmation surgery”
You beat me to it on that point.
It is actually medical malpractice, patient abuse, and shared delusion, and we are to be legally required to play pretend with people on who they are, as we did as children. Only with children, it’s a game. This is being forced into someone’s delusion, which secular humanists have also voluntarily accepted.
Hey if you want something BUY it! Don’t stick the rest of US with the Bill$!
how’s about removing arms and legs. why do those people have to go to south america?
it’s all body dysmorphic disorder.
“As a result of the 2010 US Census, the City of Wilton Manors was named the “Second gayest City” in the United States.”

I don’t need “gender confirmation surgery”. Mine’s big enough, thank you.
One thing not mentioned often.
Transgenders have a HIV/Aids rate 20 times worse than other gays. And non-transgender gays have a HIV rate 100 times were than straights.
Transgender lifestyle is extremely unhealthy and causes an extremely high healthcare cost... think medicaid. Somebody has to pay for the high healthcare cost.
