Exactly. After all I feel I am a young woman no matter what my age. Just like the transgender person feels they are the other sex no matter what sex they were born with.

Either both are elective surgeries or all plastic surgery or for that matter any injectables or anything that supports someone being more like they imagine or want to be or feel like should be covered.

All viagra should also be covered now too as all men should be able to have sex whenever they feel like it too. And breast augmentation. lol.

This kind of irks me because all throughout my late 20’s and 30’s I had Rosacea/dermatitis with pretty bad flares. My derm thought light therapy would be beneficial and sent in a recommendation to my insurance company. Of course they denied it. Calling it cosmetic or whatever. That’s BS. I mean yeah, it makes you look crappy but the underlying issue is vascular/inflammatory and causes burning sensations, extreme sensitivity, I couldn’t use any of the topicals out at the time and was allergic to the antibiotics used for it. So, I hid socially a lot of the time. Whatever. What’s done is done. I still have rosacea with small amounts of psoriasis but it’s under control for the most part. There was a specialty prescription vitamin available once I hit my 40’s that cost 200 a month, insurance wouldn’t cover it either but it worked for me. Could only afford to take that once in awhile not on the regular.

And this is why cultures who appreciate the fragility of social order throw their anomalies and aberrations into a volcano.

Those who want to keep their souls generally use mental asylums.

An Iowa court has determined that the state’s ban on Medicaid coverage for medically necessary surgical care for transgender residents is unconstitutional.

Is the Iowa court medically challenged, biased, or both?

People with gender confusion have a mental issue that is treatable without surgery. Gender reassignment surgery should be illegal because it mutilates the patient.

Surgery to treat a serious mental disorder is insane.

What happened to Iowa?

Psychiatrists who have remained silent are responsible for legitimizing this diagnosis. JMHO.
