SAN FRANCISCO -- The California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERs) voted this week to ensure that transgender CalPERS members have equal access to health insurance benefits.

The vote removes exclusionary language in health care policies that both the California Department of Insurance and the California Department of Managed Health Care have deemed discriminatory.

Transgender Law Center praised the decision.

I will believe that when the new book comes out and I see it actually changed.
Nameless here for evermore!;  Merely this, and nothing more;
Tis the wind and nothing more!;  Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore!!"
