heck yeah! might already be the hottest comrade on the block, but now youll be melting people like its that one scenefrom that movie with the antifa-colonialism
gonna have to start calling you joan, cause you the real ark
so it's supposed to be in your policy doc but mine doesn't actually explain it (or literally anything else about trans healthcare) there. I was actually afraid for a while that they'd just deny me ALL trans-related stuff as a consequence. kaiser perm has a trans health coordinator you have to work with to set up care with their doctors and she explained it to me as part of setting me up with a therapist so I can start the process for bottom surgery, endo, etc., when I called to get that process started.
from the docs I've looked at, kaiser is the only non-employer specific insurance provider that covers ffs? or at least I haven't seen a single other one that covers anything other than hormones, bottom surgery, and hair-removal for the purpose of getting bottom surgery done. they also cover facial hair removal and voice therapy and updated my medical records so my doctors know my name and pronouns before I even meet them -- I got super, super lucky and it feels so humanizing to get this very basic level of respect. it's bullshit that this isn't a baseline for trans healthcare but I still feel grateful as I know how hard and expensive this is otherwise.
electrolysis is so, so painful :angery: and they'll only cover like 10 sessions a year (which for me will only get a patch of skin the size of my chin).
my insurance covers ffs :shocked-pikachu:
:party-blob:
I just have to get another therapist to agree that I'm trans.
:party-blob: :party-blob: :party-blob:
I'm so unbelievably happy, I've been gushing all day
