As to the issue (remember that??):

If GID remains in DSM IV , then it should indeed be covered as any other
mental condition is covered.  As here in B.C., that included the necessary
therapy, hormones, and specialists.  That is the case in most countries,
even to Iran.  As with prior years, a condition should be that the patient
knows and understand the limitation of surgery, and that no medical
procedure can make them a woman, nor is the surgery more than palliative in
nature.   One must take care not to feed myths and delusions.

If GID is removed from DSM, there is not basis at all for coverage and it
becomes purely cosmetic.  Without the aegis of DSM, it convenes medical
ethics ("Do no harm") and would in all likelihood be  removed from hospital
liability insurance.  With no liability bar, surgeons would not perform the
operation without insurance.  If the USA remains a religious state Third
World countries, as in the 40s and early 50s, would remain open for SRS.
Thailand would be delighted.   Such being true, there would be little need
or reason to retain the legal rights granted to TS under DSM.  One by one
those would be repealed.  It is to be hoped that those already changed would
be allowed to retain that status,. but no more would be encouraged.

It follows that, as desired by Conway and James, transition wood be limited
to the elite or those young and pretty enough to earn money through the sex
trade or with rich and understanding parents.  No "riff-raff" would be able
to have SRS, which is after all their objective.  TS purity would be
attained.

TTFN,
Willow
