Great thread

I recently went to The Lady Doctor, and on their application, they also had a box for "Trans"
I was both relieved and dismayed at the same time. I was relieved (happy actually) to see the box, however, I was unable to actually mark the box, because trans-people aren't covered by the county insurance I was using to have this particular procedure (which, btw, had nothing to do with any trans-related issues). Hence, had I actually checked the box, I wouldn't have been covered...nor could I GET covered again, because it would have been part of my 'permanent record'.
So, while I'm glad people are actually becoming more aware...trans-folks still have to be incredibly cautious.

But that's a whole 'nother conversation.
