I’m sorry for the all caps but this is a really big opportunity for trans folks on medicare to get their surgeries covered. I might have complicated feelings about pathologization, government systems, etc, but this is about creating greater access to surgery for trans people on medicare. This is chance to flood Medicare’s inbox with trans voices saying that transsexual surgery is not “experimental.”

It’s worthwhile to note that the current state of transsexual health care coverage is due in no small part to Janice Raymond’s transmisogynistic agenda and writing that was used to create transgender health exclusion clauses in Medicare, and subsequently private insurance plans.
