Well, it actually isn't that it covers surgery per se, it is just that it doesn't actually outright refuse to pay for surgery.

To my knowledge, there isn't actually a case yet where they have paid. However, Dr. Marcie Bowers has been willing to do surgery under the assumption that they will pay.

Thanks for posting this. As the people said in the comments, I wish they had linked the journal article.

I clicked on the word 'review' in the article and was brought to the Journal where you can get the article. Here it is:

It appears to be a well-done study, with many citations and sources.

I learned a great deal.

Interesting. When I had contacted them as a gym one time they said that the sex on my ID had to match which room I'd use for changing. And since that hasn't been altered yet I was like "nope, not going here" simply because it'd be fairly obvious I didn't belong in the women's room.
