@previous (kook !!u4KQvs2JM)
what about a transition that didn't involve plastic surgery?

I know some government health care covers sexual reassignment surgery, hormonal treatment, and psychotherapy.
They just do not cover things such as voice and adam's apple surgeries as well as facial feminzation surgery (FFS) which is probably more important than the aforementioned SRS.

In b4 some schmuck says suicide is a good thing to help prevent overpopulation.

@previous (A)
actually, suicide doesnt do shit for overpopulation; if all the worlds depressed, autistic, or otherwise retarded were to all suicide at once itd be still pale in comparison to to even a rather tiny war in solving anything.

It is however a wonderful amusement.

It's a condition by itself not a list of conditions?

You're misinformed. How many people died in the Iraq war vs how many people died due to suicide in the US alone in the past decade? Do you know why suicides are underreported? Which is killing more people in recent years, motor vehicle accidents or suicide?

@OP
I think that any funding towards these issues should focus on mental health rather than transitioning. If a psychiatrist believes that HRT would be beneficial to that person's well being and assist them in being functioning members of society than by all means, I think it falls under their jurisdiction.

Elective surgeries are a different case altogether in my eyes.

I'm pretty sure this is what many government funded health care problems already do.
