Ontario resident who wants both a vagina and penis wins public funding for unique surgery

Ontario has been ordered to pay for surgery for a resident who is seeking to

The Ontario resident, identified in court documents as K.S., has been locked in a legal battle with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan since 2022, when OHIP denied a funding request to have a penile preserving vaginoplasty performed at a clinic in Austin, Texas.

The surgery, which is not available anywhere in Canada, involves creating a vaginal canal, or opening, without removing the penis.

K.S., 33, was born male but identifies as female dominant and uses a feminine name.

OHIP denied her request for funding, arguing that the procedure is not included on its list of sex-reassignment procedures, and is therefore not an insured service.

K.S. appealed OHIP’s decision to Ontario’s Health Services Appeal and Review Board, arguing that forcing her to have her penis removed would invalidate her identity and be akin to an illegal act of conversion therapy.

She also worried about the risk of complications and urinary incontinence from the urological rerouting, and the risk of orgasm dysfunction. She argued the procedure she is seeking abroad is like standard vaginoplasties performed in Ontario, but without the additional procedure, namely, the penectomy.

Get a dash of perspective along with the trending news of the day in a very readable format.

By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network The appeal board overturned OHIP’s decision, ruling that a vaginoplasty is among the genital surgeries listed for public coverage and need not inherently include removal of the penis. The board therefore ruled the procedure eligible for public funding.

OHIP appealed the board’s decision to the Divisional Court, arguing the review board erred in finding a penis-sparing vaginoplasty is specifically listed as an insured service,

A cheap date, huh?

How long until the same person files a restraining order against the penis half stalking the vagina half?

Very well put. The past four years have revealed alot about our culture that I truly wish I’d never been shown... It’s been unsettling, to say the least. The whole trans/pronoun guessing game deal is straight-up hard-core mental illness, and those not so afflicted are castigated for pointing out the plain fact. It’s all like a bad dream, with such unbalanced people being selected, based upon their disturbed mental state, for important leadership positions in our government. It’s unbelievable to a normal person, yet here we are...

Appleton Wisconsin has a full service chop the dugout surgery center. They fly in from around the country to get mutilated and a new DMV state issued ID. (Package deal)

George C. Scott. Fay Dunaway. Oklahoma Crude. Will someone post that classic scene?

This is the province I live in unfortunately. You have to juxtapose this elective horror with the denial of a lifesaving transplant because a father exercised his right to informed consent. It’s the culture of death in full regalia.

Trying to turn themselves into an xxx manga character. Futanari is the Japanese word for hermaphroditism, which is also used in a broader sense for androgyny. Beyond Japan, the term has come to be used to describe a commonly pornographic genre of eroge, manga, and anime, which includes characters that show primary sexual characteristics from both females and males.
