Free sex change?

If gender confusion is found to be a illness then Health insurance should cover it. Or should it?

What is the percentage of sex changes that say it was a mistake and reverse it?

Any thought on this. And how it this in your country?

FYI: Have heard that some places are alowing the ID drivers licenses gender changed if the person is living as that gender but has not had SRS. Seems that courts are changing.

GRS has been free on the NHS for a few years now in the UK.....as long as you are prepared to wait out the system, that first article was in 1999

I just spoke with the California DMV at length yesterday- and it seems like the name/gender change will be a breeze. I should know in a week or two.

My experience here in CA so far suggests like the courts have moved forward in the last 10 years but the medical community has been moving back (thanks, John Colapinto).

Hey us girls here are lucky that California is one of those places where changing your gender and name is a breeze to do if you have the paperwork filled out correctly. Of course I have a fantasy that maybe I could get into the federal witness protection program and have the US government pay for SRS and the whole works for free.

One of the reasons why i wish i stayed in the U.K with my family. The reason i ended up moving to the U.S was part of the "maybe it will make a man out of me" denial.

SRS is covered by government insurance in Alberta, Canada, despite a very conservative (for Canada) governing party - I hope that doesn't change. Some legislators flipped when they found this out a few years ago.
You can get your legal sex changed without SRS here, under certain circumstances. The first one was a non-op FTM in Quebec. I don't know details - I'm closer to a CD than a classic TS anyway, so it's not as personally relevant for me as it would be for some.
